The following settings are available:

Automatically saving after a number of changes is available in the following editors:

• Graphical editor

• Tabular editor

• Notebook

• Translation editor

Autosave on Session Timeout and New Login

In addition to automatically saving after a number of changes, ADONIS also saves the following changes when your session has expired due to inactivity:

• changes in the graphical editor

• changes in the tabular editor (when opened based on a model)

• changes in the Notebooks of models and modelling objects

However, if you close the browser tab without logging off, and then log in again to ADONIS while your session is still running, ALL unsaved changes will be lost.

• Notifications

  To turn on notifications when creating relations by drag and drop in the Explorer, select the option Show information dialog when creating relations.

  To turn on notifications when clicking a link that opens an external website, select the option Show warning when opening external links.

• Languages

  Select your preferred language for email notifications. ADONIS automatically sends out email notifications when specific events occur. For example, users are notified when their attention is required for a step in a release workflow.

Printing

The following settings are available:

• Corporate Identity

  Only available if at least two corporate identity schemes have been configured. Select which
  corporate identity scheme is set as default for [printing models to PDF](/adonis/en/docs/16.1/user_manual/pubwc-000000#pubwc-300000) and
  [creating reports](/adonis/en/docs/16.1/user_manual/pubwc-000000#pubwc-100000).
  note

  Corporate identity schemes can be configured in the ADONIS Administration.

• Page Layout

  Select which page layout is set as default for printing models to PDF and creating reports. Page layouts determine the appearance of the header and footer.

• Write Access to Model

  Select whether page breaks and page numbers are visible, if you have write access to a model.

• Read Access to Model

  Select whether page breaks and page numbers are visible, if you have read-only access to a model.

note

Page breaks divide models into separate pages for printing. They are displayed as dashed lines in the graphical editor.

Page breaks are defined in the print settings. When you make page layout changes before printing a model and save the print settings, the page breaks displayed in the graphical editor will be updated automatically.

OAuth 2.0 Clients

Only available if at least one application that uses OAuth 2.0 has been allowed access to your ADONIS resources. The following settings are available:

• To revoke access for an application, click the Revoke access button .

note

OAuth 2.0 clients can be configured in the ADONIS Administration.

Modelling

The following settings are available:

• Mode

  Define what should happen to objects and connectors in models that do not match the current mode.

  Example

  Objects and connectors not used in the current mode can be represented in grey or entirely hidden from the active model.

• Rectangular Connectors

  Make ADONIS draw right-angled connectors automatically. Clear this check box to make ADONIS draw straight connectors instead.

• Bridges

  Draw bridges if connectors cross.

• Crosshair

  Show a crosshair when modelling.

• Move Along

  Resizable objects and aggregations can act as container objects for other objects. When you drag such a container around the drawing area, objects placed inside are moved along if you press and hold the <Shift> key at the same time.

  Clear this check box if you want contained objects to move along at all times (without simultaneously pressing the <Shift> key).

note

If you are using the ADONIS BPMS Application Library, the following object types are aggregations: Block, Group, System Boundary and the eponymous Aggregation.

• Hover Modelling Assistant

  Show a set of controls when an object is selected in the graphical editor. You can use these controls to add objects to the model and to perform other actions such as opening the Notebook or generating a URL.
