Startup

Here you can control whether the main window is maximised when REPORTER starts (recommended).

You can also control the directory that REPORTER starts in. By default, this is the installation directory..

Drive mappings can be changed by editing the text in the input boxes under Drive Mapping. The values used here are written to and read from the oasys*drive_x preference in your HOME oa_pref file (where 'x' can be any letter from 'a' to 'z'). These mappings are useful for being able to work with a single Template across both Windows and Unix systems.

Using the example in the image below where the Z:\ drive is mapped to /LINUX_DRIVE_2/FE_MODELS/, a REPORTER session running on Windows would silently replace the string '/LINUX_DRIVE_2/FE_MODELS/' with 'Z:\' while running commands to manipulate files (without changing the XML content of the .ortx Template file). So long as this mapping matches up with the actual drive mapping on your Windows system, REPORTER will find the correct files without complaint. This also works in the other direction (replacing 'Z:\' with '/LINUX_DRIVE_2/FE_MODELS/' when running REPORTER on Linux).
