MacroView Support
  • Updated

MacroView DMF and Message display an icon for each file in the file list indicating its file type and if the file has been checked out, declared as a record or is on hold, this icon includes an overlay. 

If you want to also highlight files in these states so that they are more obvious this can be done using settings on the Options dialog or via the user registry.

MacroView DMF 8.9 and newer

Highlight can be selected from the Appearance Tab on the DMF options dialog.

Personal colors for each highlight can be selected by the user.
