Application-level preferences

Unit system

The Unit system determines the units used to display and enter any numeric values in the application.

You can choose a unit system from any database in your Granta MI system:

Search panel criteria

This setting controls whether or not criteria that no longer apply to the data returned in the current search results are automatically removed from the filters panel.

Hiding attributes with no data for records in the search results can leave you with a more manageable and highly relevant selection of filter criteria.

Search panel groupings

This setting controls whether or not the search panel groups containing the filter criteria are expanded by default on opening a data view, so that all criteria are visible, or collapsed by default, so only the headings are visible.

With filter groups collapsed by default, you can more easily scan the available filter categories and drill down to find the right filters with less scrolling up and down in the search panel.
