User interface > Tools > Options file

It is possible to choose from several options files. Options files are specified by a name. Selecting, adding and deleting can be done with Tools | Definitions | Options file.

The file name of the options file is: Vision_<name>.ini.

It is possible to initialize options on a corporate-level. Every time Vision starts up, the options will be set according to the company policy. These initialized options are presented as underlined text in the option menu. These options are kept in the file Vision.set.

It is possible to change these option when running Vision, but every time Vision starts, these options will be initialized to their fixed values again.

The easiest way to fix the initial values of the options is to copy the Vision.ini file into the file Vision.set in the directory of Vision. The options which should not be set can be removed from the Vision.set file using an text editor.

Location

The options file Vision*.ini, the desktop file Vision.dsk and the views- and reports definition files will normally be read from and written from %Appdata%\Vision.

There is an exception for the options file and the desktop file. If an options file and/or a desktop file is located in the executable folder, then this options file and/or desktop file is used.

Set file directory

The options file Vision.set will normally be read from the Vision executable folder. This default location can be changed by creating or editing the configuration file Vision.cfg. To change the default directory of the options file add the following lines to the Vision.cfg file:

[Directories]

Set=<setdir>
