Creating an Individual Profile

If your office does not use the Apply to all Users setting (which overrides all other profiles), you can configure the software to reflect your preferences as to how list windows are displayed.

To set up an individual profile:

1. Select View > List Preferences. The SoftDent List Preferences window is displayed.

2. In the View Profile for: section, select your name from the drop-down list, if your office uses the system profile as the default.

3. If your office has opted to use the system profile override, the drop-down list is disabled.

3. In the Highlighting Method section, select an option to specify whether the selected entry in the list is highlighted by a colored solid bar or colored outline.

4. In the Highlight/Border Color section, select the color to use for the solid bar or outline selected in the Highlighting Method section.

• Click Use a custom color to display a color chart, where you can select a specific color.

5. In the Right Click Options section, select an option:

6. Display dialog in view mode:When you right-click on an item in any list, the corresponding window opens in VIEW mode.

7. Display Options menu:When you right-click on an item in any list, the corresponding Options menu is displayed. This is the same menu that is displayed if you press O while the list is open.

6. In the Grid Line Options section, select whether you want to always display grid lines, never use grid lines, or use vertical lines only.

7. Click OK. A window is displayed, asking if the current profile should be saved.

8. Click Yes.
