This does not apply to importing customized panes, which is controlled by the Allow to import customized panes activity.

This applies to closing docking panes using the 'x' on the pane.

If this option is not enabled, then the operator is prompted to confirm the closing of the pane.

In addition, the operator can select not to be reminded again until logging in again. If the operator selects not to be reminded, the panes are automatically closed without warning. However, the next time the operator logs in, the prompt is displayed.

When this option is enabled, the operator is never prompted to confirm the closing of the pane.

Controls whether operator changes to docking pane layouts are saved when the operator belongs to a role (Customization Management). This includes resetting the layouts for an application.

When using roles, changes to your personal view of the role are saved when you exit an application (e.g. pinning and unpinning panes and making changes to the splitter positions).

If access to this activity is enabled, then changes to the personal view of the role made by the operator are retained and displayed the next time the operator accesses that application. The system always attempts to load the operator's own docking layout first followed by any specifically designed role layout.

If access to this activity is denied, then any changes the operator makes to docking pane layouts are ignored once the operator exits the application. The standard role designed layout is restored when next the application is loaded.

This option does not apply to an Application Help Pane that has been added to a role.

Controls whether operator changes to listviews layouts are saved when the operator belongs to a role (Customization Management).

If access to this activity is enabled, then the operator can rearrange and resize columns, remove columns and add them back, and apply grouping and sorting to listviews. These settings are preserved when exiting the application when the user is linked to a role. In addition, the operator can reset the listview layout, even if roles are in use.

However, if the administrator changes the design of the listview layout for the given role, then the newly-designed layout is automatically applied when the operator re-launches the application. In other words, the operator can adjust the listview column settings for personal use until such time as the administrator specifically designs that listview layout, when the new layout is applied.

If a listview layout has been designed for the application at role level, then pressing Ctrl+F5 will reset the view to the default role-based layout.

This controls whether an operator can customize field properties at group and company level.

If you are not allowed access to the Forms - Customization by operator activity, then you will be unable to customize field properties at group and company level, even if you have been granted access to the Forms - Caption adjustments for group/company activity.

If this activity is enabled, then whenever the operator is printing to a Windows printer and has enabled the Request Print Dialog option from the SYSPRO Desktop then the print dialog (displayed just before the report is produced) defaults to displaying the previously saved/configured printer from SYSPRO.

If this activity is not enabled, then the print dialog that is displayed just before a report is produced always defaults to displaying your Windows default printer (regardless of any printer setup from within SYSPRO).
