Profile Settings

Note: Changes made to Profile Settings only apply to "new" jobs created using the modified profile and will have no effect on "existing" job files. Use Setup|Job Settings or Setup|Globally Modify Tables to make changes to existing job files.

In Setup|Profile Settings, you can specify initial job file settings for new jobs using the following tabs:

Table Presentation

Job Title

Table Report Type

Enhanced Text Reports

In Setup|Profile Settings, you can also create, save, load and remove WinCross profiles. WinCross profiles are job file settings saved for use when creating new jobs with similar settings. For example, if you have a client who always likes to have their row text width set to 40 and wants the same job title on all jobs, you can assign these options and save this set of options as a WinCross Profile with a profile name that is meaningful to you.

The next time you are ready to create a new job for this client, you will use that profile as the starting point for your new job by selecting the profile from the Active profile dropdown list of profile choices when using File|New Job.

Active profile - Displays the name of the active profile.

You can choose the active profile as the starting point for a new job created using File|New Job.
To select a new active profile, choose a profile from the Active profile drop down list.
The active profile, Default, is the WinCross default and cannot be changed but can be selected and used as a starting point for new jobs.
The active profile, Active, is created for WinCross users who have upgraded from a previous version of WinCross. The active profile for these WinCross users becomes the job file settings from the last opened (previous version) WinCross job and can be used as a starting point for new jobs.

Import Settings from Active Job - Allows you to create a new WinCross profile from an open (previously saved) WinCross job file.

Open your WinCross job file.
Select Setup|Profile Settings.
Select the Import Settings from Active Job button.

The Active profile becomes New_Profile.
Select OK or Save Profile As to save the current job settings as a new WinCross profile.

Save Profile As - Saves the current settings as a new WinCross profile.

Default, Active and New_Profile are protected profile names and cannot be used to save a new WinCross profile.

Remove Profile - Deletes a previously saved WinCross profile.

Select the profile from the Active profile dropdown list and choose the Remove Profile button.
