Database Folder
Enables you to view and modify where CHI saves files on your hard disk.
To change where a file is stored:
| 2. | In the Browse for Folder dialog, browse to the new folder in which you want to store that file. |
| 3. | Select the new folder and then click OK. |
Image Format Associations
Lists the image file formats supported by CHI and the applications associated with each format. CHI uses the Collectify Image Viewer to view images by default. However, if you want to modify an image you must run an external image editing application. The image editing applications listed are the default programs set for your computer.
| • | To remove an association between an image format and an image editing program, first select the image format in the list, then click Clear. |
| • | To associate an image format with a different editing application, select the image format, then click Associate. This opens an Associate With... dialog displaying a list of all programs installed on your computer. Choose the appropriate image editing program from the list, then click OK. |
| • | To associate multiple image formats with the same editing program, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the formats in the list, then click Associate. |
The Settings Tab
Database Owner Name
Modify the first and last name of the inventory's owner (moderator).
Database Settings
Modify the inventory name, password, and currency used in your inventory. The currency can either be represented by one of the defaults (simply click one of the currency buttons) or you can type in a currency up to 3 characters long (e.g. USD).
Preferences
| • | Display currency symbol in front of the amount, when checked, places the currency symbol of your choice before the numbers in an amount (e.g. $ 120). Uncheck the box if you wish the currency symbol to appear after the numbers (e.g. 120 $). |
| • | Balloon tips are the yellow pop-up balloons that appear when you leave the mouse pointer over a field for a few seconds. Balloon tips contain a brief description of the field and other helpful information. You can disable balloon tips by unchecking the Display Balloon Tips check box. |
| • | Validate insurance policies when closing, when checked, allows CHI to verify whether the coverage of your insurance policies adequately covers your objects and alerts you if there is a discrepancy. Uncheck this option to turn off the validation process. |
| • | Single active policy covers all objects, when checked, tells CHI that the one active policy in the Insurance Policy module should be assumed to cover all the objects in your inventory. The validation is calculated accordingly. |
| • | By default, CHI reminds you every two weeks to backup your inventory. To change the frequency of notifications, click on the Backup reminder drop down and choose one of the available settings. |
| • | Click the Reset Messages button if you have hidden (i.e. checked the 'Don't show again' box) any CHI popup messages and want to see them again. |
