217Plus Settings Manager
The 217Plus Settings Manager window allows authorized users to manage all of the predefined 217Plus settings that are saved in the current database. These settings are shared by all users for all 217Pus analyses in all projects within the current database. In a secure database, the ability to manage the settings will be accessible only if you have the "Manage Lambda Predict database settings" permission.
To access the window, choose File > Manage Database > 217Plus Settings Manager.
The 217Plus Settings Manager window provides a separate button for each type of 217Plus setting that can be saved in the database. The options for managing these saved settings are discussed in the following sections:
Tip: Authorized users can also modify these settings while working on a particular 217Plus analysis in the prediction folio. For example, when you use the Select 217Plus Pi Factor to set a particular property in a 217Plus analysis (and only if you have the "Manage other database settings" permission), you will have the opportunity to add, edit or delete any of the saved pi factors of that particular type.
If you wish to use some or all of the same saved 217Plus settings in multiple databases, there are two options:
- Click the Import button to use the Import 217Plus Settings window to copy specific settings from another existing database at any time.
- Click the Save as Default button to save the settings from the current database to a separate resource file (*.lpd) so they will be copied over each time you create a new database from this computer. (See Default 217Plus Settings for New Databases.)
In both cases, it's important to remember that the settings are copied between files but not linked, and therefore it does not automatically ensure that the settings in different databases will remain synchronized after changes are applied. If you wish to keep the settings synchronized among multiple databases, you will need to apply the changes in one database and then import them into all other applicable databases. If you’re using an *.lpd file to automatically populate the settings in each new database that you create, you will also need to save the latest settings into the active resource file.
