Global Settings

Global settings are the settings that can be used by all panel applications in the same project. They are accessible and modifiable throughout the project. Global settings help a designer to construct a project that is flexible and easy to update. Designers can make changes to the overall design of the panel application by revising the global settings directly.

You can modify the Global settings in the corresponding dialog box. To open the dialog box, double-click the related node under the Global node in the Project Manager tool window. Alternatively, click Project to access the Project sub-menu in the menu bar, and then click the related command in the Project sub-menu.

The global settings contain the following items.
