AMan Pro provides extensive customization of the user interface and its interaction with the user. Some of the customizations are performed using actions on the interface itself. Other are configured using this section of the configuration dialog.

• Visible Controls
  This determines what components are visible on the main screen. If real estate is an issue on the main screen for you, turning off some of these options will provide more space for the grid.

• • Filter Toolbar - AMan Pro provides a facility where you can look at a subset of your data on the grid based on criteria you specify. e.g. You may want to look at all your listings that are Used. You may want to only look at your orders that are International. . The filter toolbar allows you to do this easily and quickly.

  • Color Toolbar - If you wish to color code orders to allow you to differentiate between certain type of orders, you can do this with the Color Toolbar. While AMan color codes orders based on pre-defined states, you can color code orders to indicate things like Ship Tuesday, Process using DHL, Remind me to refund shipping for this order. The colors you assign to orders is determined by you. Color coding does not prevent the addition of Notes to orders.

  • Grid Scroll Button - Setting this option will display a quick scroll button where you can quickly navigate through the grid. The button will appear in the upper right hand corner of the grid.

  • SQL Commands - Checking this option will cause AMan to display the SQL used by AMan Pro and allows you to enter your own. This will allow you to display customized data grid.

  • Play Sounds - Certain actions cause AMan Pro to play a sound to indicate that the action is complete. One example is when you are using the Move to Next after Weigh (see Configuring a PC Scales). If turned on, this will cause AMan Pro to beep after the scales have been read, thus notifying you that you can weigh the next order.

  • Hide when Pricing - Setting this option will cause AMan Pro to hide the main screen when repricing.

  • Display User Tools - If you are not using customized toolbars (Customizing the User Toolbar),  turning this option on will hide the User Toolbar and free up more space for the grid.

  • Next Product Button - If you list the same item (same offer or not) multiple times, turning this option on, will display a button on the List an Item dialog which causes AMan pro to navigate to the next ASIN rather than the next item in the grid.

  • Center MsgBox in screen - If this option is on, all messages displayed by AMan Pro will be centered in the screen. If you are using multiple monitors, this may cause the messages to appear in between the monitors. Turning this option off will cause the message to be displayed where it was last displayed.

  • Display Orders in Flat Mode - At times you may want to display orders where each item in an order is displayed on a single row. This is useful when exporting data to some applications. Please note that many functions are disabled in this mode.

  • Auto Preview Turning this on will add an extra row to each order displayed. The extra row will contain the full description of the Items being purchased by the customer.

  • Actions Toolbars Position - For each section navigated to, AMan Pro displays all the tools available for that section as a row of icons. This option allows you to specify where that row appears or if you wish, to hide it.

  • Display Font Size - This determines the font size of grid and other displays.

  • Optimize Find Function - Turning this option on, will show orders found because of a Find/Search to display in a non-hierarchical format regardless of the hierarchical option. This significantly speeds up the Find process.

• Hierarchical Grid

• • Display Hierarchical Grid - Turning on this option will cause AMan Pro to display multiple rows for each order. This will give you more information for the order fulfillment process. This is required if you are using Internet Postage.

  • Expand grid - If set, the default display format is all order rows displayed. Each row may be collapsed by clicking on the - sign

  • Only use for color coded grids - If set , AMan Pro will only display color coded grids in a hierarchical format.

• Browser Options
  AMan Pro displays web pages on a browser at times. These options allow you to specify if the web pages will be displayed in a browser with the AMan Pro application or if it will use a separate browser page. Please note that some displays are in the AMan browser and some displays are in a standalone page regardless of these settings.
