Defining Defaults and Controls

The Defaults and Controls section of the System Setup Menu lets you enter the defaults used throughout Robot Save. These include basic defaults used by the system; defaults that indicate the type of media and the device you use; database and save file defaults that determine how Robot Save handles and saves files; disaster planning defaults that specify print attributes; and default encryption settings.

If you used Robot GUIDE to set up Robot Save, it filled in default values for your system. You can change these at any time using the Defaults and Controls panels.

When parameters are available at the system level, they can, in most cases, be overridden at the class, set, or library level. The standard hierarchy for overriding parameters is: library overrides set, set overrides class, and class overrides system.

To access the System Setup Menu, enter option 7 on the Robot Save Main Menu. Press F1 from this panel for detailed descriptions of the fields.
