Default Merge Module Directory
Shows the path to the default merge module directory. All merge modules that are
in this directory—along with the merge modules that are in the directories shown in
the Directory list below—are listed on the Select Merge Module dialog box that
appears when you click the Add button at the right of the Merge Modules page.
To exclude the merge modules in the default directory from the list, mark Do not
show merge modules from the Default Merge Module Directory.
Read Merge Modules List From Software Manager Database
Mark this to include merge modules from the Software Manager database on the
Select Merge Module dialog box that appears when you click the Add button on the
Merge Modules page.
Directory
Enter additional directories where merge modules are stored. Merge modules in
these directories are listed on the Select Merge Modules dialog box. Example: If you
save your organization's user-created merge modules in the shared network
directory V:\Modules, and you add V:\Modules to the Directory list, the merge
modules in that directory will appear on the Select Merge Module dialog box.
To add a directory to the list, click Add, browse for the directory, and click OK. To
include subdirectories in the search, mark the check box in the Include Subdirs
column. The next time you click the Add button on the Merge Modules page,
modules in that directory appear on the Select Merge Module dialog box.
To delete a directory from the list, click the directory and click Delete. Merge
modules in that directory will no longer appear on the Select Merge Module dialog
box.
