Introduction > General settings

General Settings :

Always use the "TAB" key to validate an entry field and navigate to the next one.

In any message displayed, you can use the "Enter" or "Escape" keys to accept or refuse it

You can hide - unhide the Left navigation Panel (you have more surface visible onscreen) with Ctrl-N OR from this icon in the main frame toolbar taskpanel

(the main "Data Management" module (as well as the Projects & Profiles and Styles one) are automatically set to full width for easier use.)

Keyboard shortcuts used are :

Ctrl-D = Data Management

Ctrl-E = Extensions

Ctrl-F = Films & Videos

Ctrl-H = Help

Ctrl-N = Toggle Navigation Bar On/Off

Ctrl-O = ODBC Connections

Ctrl-P = Projects and Profiles

Ctrl-R = Replacement Groups

Ctrl-S = Settings

ALL main windows close using the Escape Key

When a Module (except Projects & Data management) is opened other modules can be opened BUT the "previous" one will be closed by DMC so as not to have multiple screens opened at the same time.

When you are in this "reserved" module (Data Management) you can access from the Menu all help topics or open DMC Folders.

Use the Main frame toolbar buttons to Insert - Edit - Delete records in all the modules navigation_buttons

You have to close some Modules to be able to open others but you can also, for example, open Settings and directly open Profiles .....Settings will be closed automatically

Send To ....

sendto

You also have in the main frame two buttons which come alive only when you are in the Data Management module and only when you are in the 'DATA' tab or the 'Transferred Data' one :

Those buttons will let you export to HTML-PDF-DOC-CSV-XLS all the SOURCE data records you are about to work on OR all your MAPPINGS done

sendto_main

You also will have the possibility to eMail or FTP those exported files ....

sendto_email

Stopping a Transfer process :

You have in the main frame toolbar a button which opens up only while you are transferring your Data

If you click on it a Confirmation Message will popup to let you Cancel or Continue the processing

If you click on 'Yes' the transfer will be canceled ....

When doing an ODBC SQL transfer, this button will only be visible while the sql script is created. While the same sql script is executed you will have another window in the middle of the screen to cancel it also

dmc_stop_sql_process

By clicking on the 'Stop' Button, you will again have a confirmation message popup to let you cancel or not the sql insertion

dmc_stop_sql_process_message

If you click on 'Yes' the transfer will be canceled ...

Screen resolutions :

The main frame is resizable and this feature will let you adapt the screen to your best preferences.

The initial position will be restored when you request it from the "Settings" module

All the inner screens are 800x600 compatible but can be reduced to smaller sizes.

HyperFile : The version 12.01 - and previous ones - ODBC driver used to implement the support of these tables is VERY unstable (we recommend upgrading to the newer version 14 ODBC driver) : reading a Table can receive error (which are non existent errors in sql language) messages or not.
