GENERAL:

• Splash Page - Show the About box on program startup. This option has no effect for an unregistered copy.

• Lock Entries - This will "Lock" an entry while viewing to prevent accidental changes. If left locked, it will also speed up viewing of entries as the program doesn't look for changes before leaving the screen.

• AutoCalc Currency - If this option is not checked, you will have to tap on the RECALC button to force a recalculation. With AutoCalc selected, Currency will be calculated whenever you view the currency page, making the program run a little slower.

• Scroll by page - move through a page of data at a time instead of one at a time.

• Show Exp Symbol - This will show the symbol in the field next to it in Expense (Exp) fields and will calculate the number correctly if this symbol is in the field. The number next to "Dec" is the number of decimal places in Exp fields.

• Date Mode - This affects how the date is displayed throughout the program. The version without slashes is usually fully visible on all pages.

• User Days - These are user-defined day ranges that appear in the "Dates" dropdown filter. These are in addition to the 7, 28, 30, 60, 90 and 365 days. These filter the entries by last XX days.

• Today counts - IMPORTANT: This determines if today counts as one for the days filter mentioned above. For example, if this is checked and you have a day filter of "1" then only today's entries would show. If you had this unchecked, then today and yesterday would show. NOTE: This also affects currency, so if you set 30 hours in last 7 days, this would determine if it is today and the 6 days prior or today and the 7 days prior.

• Wide Col1 - (New for v1.2) - This widens the first column of the main list to accommodate a wide date on the first column.  This option will probably be dropped in a future version in favor of user defined numbers of columns and widths.

• Hide Filter Num- If this is checked, then the main page will show "???/###". This means that the program won't count how many items are in the current filter. Selecting this speeds up the program because the program would have to go through all the records and compare to the filter to count how many apply before actually showing the entries. If you only set a category filter, then you won't notice any speed difference.

• Enable Hilites - Select this if you want highlighting of certain items on the main page and on the currency page. The highlighting is meant to draw your attention to items that might need your attention. See the "Main Page" and "Currency Page" for more details on what is highlighted.

• Enable Gray - Only available on non-color Palms with PalmOs 3.0 or higher. If you select this, the program will go into grayscale mode. Icons will be in grayscale and the highlighting mentioned above will be different. If you find the program is too dark, adjust the contrast or turn off this item. Some palm devices are always too dark when in grayscale mode.

DEFAULTS:

• Date - Select either "Last Dt" and new entries will have the same date as the last edited item, or "Current Dt" and new entries will have today's date.

• Acft/Tail - Either copy the "Last" or use the item in the dropdown if this box is deselected.

• From - Like above, except "Last" will copy the arrival field from the last record.

• Copy Last Crew - This will copy all members of the crew from the last item. This will make the records bigger. If your crew doesn't change during the day, I would just put the names on the first flight of the day to save PalmOs RAM.

• Default Time Mode - This only functions when the program can't determine based on aircraft which Time Mode to use for displaying times. Usually, this will affect how the Totals page appears when there isn't a specific aircraft set in the filter.

QUICK-FILL:

• No scrollers on fields - This will remove the little scroll buttons from numeric fields. These buttons let you quickly increment or decrement the values in fields. NOTE: If this is checked, scrolling of values using the hardware scroll button is also disabled.

• First tap on counter = 1 - If this is set, then tapping on a counter field (like Leg or Ldg) will set the value to one (if it is currently zero).

• Tap on empty time = dur - Like above, tapping on a time field will set the field to equal the Dur value.

• Enable Auto for Scheduled - By default, none of the automatic calculations (including the 2 options above) operate on entries in the future ("Scheduled"). If you check this, then all auto calculations (from prefs and aircraft auto section) apply to "scheduled" items.

• Enable Time and Count popups - If this is set, then tapping on a counter field, time field, of clock field label will popup a list of values offset from the current value. The current value will be highlighted and in the middle and 6 values above and below will be in the list. This is a quick way to change a value by a couple increments.

PICKLISTS:

• Automemorize - When saving an entry, the program can automatically add items to the databases. Acft are saved using the first label set and H:M time mode. Pick items are saved to the appropriate picklist database. Crew names are parsed based on the "Last Name First" checkbox below. As the supporting databases get larger, the program searches through them to see if values are unique and adds items if they are not. You will notice that items save faster if fewer of these options are selected (when the DBs start to get large). NOTE: The Smart Ordering below also relies on this option. If an item is not automemorized, then it is also NOT updated for sorting.

• Last Name First - This determines how to display names in the dropdown AND how to save names when they are automemorized.

• Smart Ordering: Supporting databases can be sorted in different ways affecting their order in the dropdowns. Most Recent and Most Used require automemorize above to be set for proper operation. This setting affects all dropdowns listed under Automemorize.

• Most Used - The most often used items will appear at the top of the dropdown list.

• Most recent - The most recently used items appear at the top of the list.

• Alpha - simple alphabetical sorting.

• Home at Top - If this is set, then the value in the dropdown will appear near the top of all airfield dropdowns. Typically, the current value is at the top of the list, then blank, then this value followed by the regular list of values.

• Self on Top - If this is set, then the value set in the field will appear near the top of "Crew" dropdowns.

• Smart Popups (New for v1.2) - This enables a new feature of the edit page popups.  With this option enabled, the popups will use the current text of an entry field to search to an appropriate spot in the listbox.  With this option enabled, you should consider enabling "Alpha" smart ordering.  If you experience long delays when tapping on a field label to get a popup, you may want to consider turning off this option.

MISC:  (NEW for v1.2)

• Tap Recalc Dur - With this option enabled, tapping a duration field, even one that is non-zero, will cause it to recalculate based on the associated clock fields.

• Always CalcDur - With this option enabled, the duration fields are always recalculated when pages are changed or information is saved.  If you do not store clock times in your logbook, you should not enable this option or your duration fields will always be reset to zero.

• Dur to use for Auto Calc - Select which duration field is used by the program (for primary and secondary label set aircraft) for "Dur" calculations.  This includes the "Auto" section of the aircraft record and Tap=Dur preferences.  These settings DO NOT affect the "Split Times Dialog"
