    Field or Control

    Definition

    When definition is opened

    Automatically inserts any definition that you open into the current project.

    When definition is modified and saved, or deleted

    Automatically inserts any definition that you save or delete into the current project.

    Manually

    Does not automatically insert any definition into the current project. This value is the default option. Use the Insert menu bar to insert a definition into the project.

    Do not insert related definitions with current definition

    Does not prompt you to include related definitions. Inserts only the specified definition, not related definitions.

    Prompt user to pick related definitions to insert

    After you select Insert > Current Definition into Project a dialog box appears, prompting you to pick which related definitions to insert.

    Reload last project at startup

    When starting PeopleSoft Application Designer, the project that was last opened in the previous session opens automatically.

    Show definitions in project

    Displays a black mark next to icons for definitions that are explicitly in a project (Development view) to indicate that they are in the project. Attribute definitions, which are not explicitly part of the project, are not marked.

    Prompt for properties when definition is saved

    Prompts you with a definition properties dialog box before you can save the definition.

    Suppress PeopleCode compile success messages

    Suppress the messages for successful PeopleCode program compiles and compile warnings displayed on the Validate tab if you are importing a project and have selected the option: Compile PeopleCode after import.

    Only errors will be displayed if selected.
