Interface options

Use the options in the Interface tab to specify some of the basic behavior of Analytics.

Include Filters in Field Lists

Select this option if you want logical fields, including filters, to appear in field lists. Logical fields are normally excluded from field lists. Because filters are actually implemented as logical fields, you can use this option to have filters appear in field lists so you can apply commands to them.

Warn Before Overwriting Files

Select this option if you want Analytics to display a confirmation dialog box before overwriting any of the following:

fields in table layouts
Analytics tables
files, including Analytics data files (.fil)

If you turn this option off, Analytics overwrites fields, tables, and files without asking for confirmation.

You can also use the SET SAFETY command in a script or on the command line to turn this option on or off. By turning this option off, you can avoid interruptions while executing a script that is designed to overwrite existing fields, tables, or files.

If you change the setting using the Warn Before Overwriting Files checkbox, the change remains in effect until you specifically change it again. If you use the SET SAFETY command to change the setting, the change remains in effect for the duration of the Analytics session only.

Changes to this setting are recorded in the log using the following syntax:

SET SAFETY {ON|OFF}

Enable ACL Server integration

Select this option to enable the functions that allow you to connect to AX Server.

Disable auto complete in scripts

Select this option to turn off keyword auto-completion in the Script Editor. On-screen help for function parameters cannot be disabled.

Disable Script Syntax Check Before Commit Scripts

Select this option to turn off script syntax checking when committing scripts to the Robots app in HighBond.

Note

This option controls script syntax checking only. It does not control analytic header validation, which is a separate process that cannot be disabled.

Beep(s) Upon Task Completion

This option indicates the number of beeps that sound when Analytics completes a task. Enter a number from 0 to 255. This option is especially useful if you expect a task to take a long time. The default is 0.
