A

Use Enhanced Interface

Check this box and click <OK> to enable CIM GOLD's Enhanced Interface. CIM GOLD will immediately operate in enhanced-interface mode. If you uncheck this box to stop using CIM GOLD in enhanced-interface mode, you must restart CIM GOLD to go back to the regular interface.

B

<Import Settings>

Click this button to import settings for the Enhanced Interface that you previously saved by exporting the settings, as described below. Once you import the settings (an .xml file), all options from that import file will be applied. This is useful if you are setting up many CIM GOLD users and want to use the same setup for each. This allows you to quickly import the settings and apply them for each user.

C

<Export Settings>

Check this box to save the Enhanced Interface settings to a file. The following options on this tab are saved to the file:

•Options A, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, N, O, and P from above. (Only the path listed in K is saved to the file, not the image itself.)

•Information about tiles currently pinned to the Home screen.

•The colors defined in the navigation tree.

•The hidden state of items in the navigation tree.

•The hidden state of items in the top menu.

D, E

Navigation Tree

This is the font size of the text in the navigation tree. If you check the Display on Startup box, the navigation tree will be visible as soon as CIM GOLD is opened.

F, G

Navigation Menu

This is the font size of the text in the top menu. If you check the Hide Navigation Menu box, the top menu is hidden. The top menu has all the screens that the navigation tree on the left has; however, if you prefer to select screens from a menu, this option is available to you.

Note: Showing the top menu takes up more vertical screen space and could cause screen content to be pushed off the bottom of the screen on some monitor resolutions.

Tile Properties field group

Use the fields in this box to establish how you want the tiles to be displayed on the Home screen.

H

Row Count

This is the row count that the Home screen uses. The vertical space available to the Home screen is divided by this number to get the row size. This row size is used in determining the size of tiles and their header font sizes. It is also used to create the virtual grid used when laying out tiles. The virtual grid will use this value for the cell width and height.

I

Base Tile Cell Span

This is the number of rows and columns in the virtual grid that the smallest cell will span. The medium cell will span twice this number for its width, and the large tile will span twice this number for both its width and height.

J

Font Percentage

This is the percentage of a virtual grid cell height that will be used to determine the height of the font for the tile header.

H, I, and J Example: If the user is running CIM GOLD at full screen at 1024x768, the entire CIM GOLD window would be 1024x768. The area given to the Home screen would be smaller than that (such as 1150x600). Dividing the height of 600 by 48 (option H above) we would determine that each row is 12 pixels high. Multiplying the 12 pixels by 8 (option I above) we would determine that each small tile is 96 pixels high. We use the same value for the width so the small tile is 96x96, the medium tile is 192x96, and the large tile is 192x192. We then multiply 12 (our row height) by 1.20 (option J above) to get a font height of 14 pixels.

Background Image field group

Use the fields in this box to establish a logo or group of images to be displayed on the Home screen. See Adding your business logo to the Home screen for more information.

K

Path

This is the path to an image or folder that contains images you want to use as a background to the Home screen. If it is the path to an image, that image will always be shown. If it is the path to a folder, CIM GOLD will randomly cycle through any images in the folder. (Images of type .jpg, .png, .bmp, and .gif are supported.)

L

<Choose File>

Click this button to open a file dialog box where a file can be selected for option K (see above).

M

<Choose Folder>

Click this button to open a directory dialog box where a folder can be selected for option K (see above).

N

Opacity

This is the opacity of an image. If the value is 100%, the image will be displayed on the Home screen as-is. The closer this value is to 0, the more transparent the image will become. At 0, it will be invisible.

O

Alignment

Use the Alignment field to select how CIM GOLD will display the logo (or images). Possible choices include:

•Center the image in the background without modifying the size

•Fill the entire background with the image, distorting the image if necessary

•Fill as much of the background as possible with the entire image while retaining the aspect ratio (default)

•Fill the entire background while retaining the aspect ratio, cropping the image if necessary

P

Cycle Interval

If you are using a folder of images rather than just one image (as explained in option K above), select when the system rotates the image to display a new one from the folder.
