It would be nice if UR can support a rapid configuration template. UR contains a huge number of settings in Tools | Options... These settings are powerful and useful but good only for some circumstance. For example, under the Search tab, enable "Automatically start save search when search item selected." It's extremely useful for rapid search but you can't configure the search.

What is "rapid configuration template"?
I have no idea what you're suggesting ;-)
Can you elaborate?

Quant,
Thank you for asking.
Simply put, it's a predefined set of settings.
For different circumstances/situations, a click of template and your UR settings will be changed. The settings include: "automatically start saved search...", "block dialog in internal browse...", "Pretext text/rick clipboard formats",....

Without the config template, you've change these individually. It's a time-wasting chore.

aaah, ok, clear now.

Yes, might be useful to some. Does this suggestion come from your own needs? Do you have the real cases when several options at once are preferable to another set of option?

Quant,
Glad for your quizzing.
Unlike Word, Visio, Project,... once their settings are set, they are seldom changed.

On the other hand, in UR, do you like the "automatic start of saved change"? Of course. It's a time-saving feature. But the feature disallow you to modify the search parameters.

For real situation, in the court, no judge will tolerate slow response. At least, one config template is for the court hearing. Another config template is for my info item capturing.

Hope I can explain myself clearly.

Actually my idea is more or less similar to "Style" in UR. The Style is only applied to formatting. My Config Template is for the entire UR system configuration.
