User Preferences

User Preferences include spelling and autocorrect options, along with choices to show or hide the scrollbars.

 

Autocorrect settings are system wide, meaning all users will have the same settings. Autocorrect works within stock description fields, as well as Invoice/Fault Description, Comment and Email fields.

 

A number of autocorrect options are available for customisation. Among the autocorrect options, turn on or off the autocorrect function by ticking/unticking Automatically use suggestions from the spelling checker.

 

Info

Autocorrect is off by default.
