Administering Windows Settings

The settings menu for Windows contains settings options that specify whether Sierra runs in a single window, or in multiple windows.

Single Window function

If this radio button is selected, Sierra runs all functions and displays all records in a single window, and each function or record is replaced in the window by the next function or record. For example, if you select a record from a browse list, the open record will replace the browse list in the window.

Multi Window function

If this radio button is selected, Sierra opens each new record in a new window. For example, if you select a record from a browse list, the record will open in a separate window, leaving the browse list open in a window behind it. A maximum of five windows can be open at one time.

Maximize All Windows

If this check box is selected, windows are maximized when they open (i.e., the newly-opened window fills the computer screen).
