Customize Dialog Box

The Customize dialog box, accessed from the Toolbar node of the Options dialog box, lets you can create, rename, hide, delete, and reset toolbars; add and remove buttons from toolbars (see the Commands tab); configure the toolbars' appearances and options; and define keyboard shortcuts for toolbar buttons and menu items.

Toolbars Tab

The Toolbars tab lets you add, remove, or rename toolbars and create custom toolbar buttons. You can add custom toolbar buttons to the Document Viewer or Folder Browser that launch programs outside the Laserfiche client application. Adding custom buttons lets users quickly open a program, such as a custom SDK application, without leaving the Laserfiche client application.

To modify your toolbars, click New to add a new toolbar. (New toolbars will be added to either the Folder Browser or Document Viewer, depending on which you accessed the Customize dialog box from.) Select a toolbar and click Rename to change its name or click Delete to permanently remove the toolbar. Clicking Reset will return the toolbar to its defaults.

Commands Tab

You can add or remove less common buttons from the Commands tab of the Customize dialog box. Learn how to add or remove toolbar buttons.

Options Tab

You can configure the look of the toolbar and toolbar buttons from the Options tab.

1. Open the Customize dialog box either from the Toolbars node of the Options dialog box or by right-clicking a toolbar and selecting Customize.
2. Select Options.



3. Configure the following settings
• Always show full menus: Shows the entire menu as opposed to collapsing and hiding menu items that are not often used.
• Show full menus after short delay: Initially hides menu items that are not often used, but shows the entire list of menu items after a short delay.
• Reset menu and toolbar usage data: Deletes the record of which menu items are used most frequently and restores the default set of items to the menus and toolbars. Clicking this button does not undo any explicit customizations.
• Large icons: Displays large buttons in the toolbar. Small buttons are displayed if this checkbox is cleared.
• Show ScreenTips on toolbars: Displays the toolbar button's name when you hover over it.
• Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips: Displays the toolbar button's keyboard shortcut when you hover over it.
• Menu Animations: Specifies how menu options will open. Choose among the system default, random, unfold, slide, fade, or none.
• Button Text: Displays the buttons' names under their images.
4. Click Close.

Keyboard Tab

You can create custom keyboard shortcuts that let you quickly perform tasks without having to click a toolbar button or menu item. Learn how to create custom keyboard shortcuts.
