Warnings

The Warnings button on the General tab of the Setup Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Setup) displays the Warnings Display Options dialog box.

Warnings Display Options dialog box

You can use this dialog box to tell PC-DMIS to re-display warnings that you have already switched off as well as change the default actions for warning messages that are turned off. By default, this dialog box is empty. When a warning message appears, PC-DMIS gives you the option of not receiving that warning again. When you choose to not receive the warning, the warning ends up in this dialog box.

If you need information on specific warnings, consult the "Warn(Option)" topic in the Option section of the PC-DMIS Settings Editor documentation.

Warning messages only appear in this interface in the Warnings Display Options dialog box once you have turned them off. If no warnings have been turned off, the dialog box remains empty.

To start receiving a warning message again:

  1. Access the Warnings Display Options dialog box. It shows any warnings that you have turned off.

  2. Select the warning and clear its check box.

  3. Click OK to remove the warning. PC-DMIS starts displaying that warning message again.

The Clear List button clears all the check boxes for all items, thereby returning PC-DMIS to its default mode of displaying all the warning messages.

To change the default action for a warning message:

  1. Make sure you have clicked the Don't ask me again check box when the warning appears. This causes it to go to the Warnings Display Options dialog box.

  2. Access the Warnings Display Options dialog box. It shows any warnings you have turned off.

  3. Double-click on the warning message whose default action you want to change. PC-DMIS displays the warning, allowing you to select the new default action.

  4. Select the new default action to update the list with the new action.

  5. Click OK to save your choice.
