9.9.1 Select "Options 1" tab
Here you can select Latitude Options.
The description of each option is listed below.
9.9.2 Load main forms in data entry mode:
If you select this option, Main forms such as Business Contacts and Jobs/Projects open in data entry mode, which means you are in a brand new record. Otherwise forms open in Edit mode, which means you are in the first existing record when the form opens, and you can search for or scroll (go to) to any existing record.
9.9.3 Enable Form Datasheet View
Show the Datasheet view command in the Record command tab (not recommended).
9.9.4 Auto save on forms where applicable:
Save changes to data on forms (screens) immediately otherwise your data is saved when you move to another record or close a form.
9.9.5 Use Query Builder as default Filter:
There are two ways to filter records in Latitude. One is using a Filter screen and the other is using a Query Builder. The Query Builder is more powerful, but the Filter is simpler to use.
9.9.6 Show Record Counts on Main Menu:
If you select this option, record counts appear on each button on the Main Menu. Please bear in mind that this option incurs extra computation time and thus slows Latitude.
