Set preferences to control the behavior of Workbench. All preference settings affect only
the current user on the local computer.
Select Edit menu > Preferences. Complete the General tab (described below), or click
another tab for:
Activating Suppressed Prompts
Setting Repository Preferences
Setting General Preferences
Active Project Filter
Specify which projects appear on the Projects tab. You can display all projects or
only open projects. With Enterprise Management Server, two additional options let
you display all projects in which the next task is assigned to you, or all projects
containing a task assigned to you.
Run all tools in Full Screen Mode
This does not apply to tools that have wizard interfaces.
Create backup copy during save
Mark this to have a new backup file created every time you save a file in either
Windows Installer Editor or WiseScript Package Editor. This check box also appears
in the preferences for each editor; this global setting affects the settings in the
individual editors.
The backup file name consists of the current file name plus a number. (Example: if
the current file name is Sample.wsi, the backups are named Sample1.wsi,
Sample2.wsi, and so on.) Only the file you are working on is backed up. (Example:
if you open a .WSI and save it, the corresponding .MSI is not backed up.) Use
caution with this option if you are working with large installation files; if you save
often, your disk space will quickly become depleted.
Enter actual hours by
(Enterprise Management Server only.) Mark an option to specify whether you will
enter hours completed on the Project Management tab for the entire project or for
individual tasks.
Allow Connection Attempts to Web Applications
When you run a Web application tool, and Workbench cannot connect to the
computer that is hosting Web application, the Connection Failed dialog box appears
and might continue to appear as you use Workbench.
Mark this check box to allow connection attempts and activate the Connection Failed
dialog box. Clear it to prevent connection attempts and disable the dialog box.
If you mark the Prevent Connection Attempts to Web Applications check box
on the Connection Failed dialog box, this check box is cleared.
