Preferences

The Preference menu provides an interactive editor for setting options for T/HIS in the oa_pref preference file (see Appendix H for more details on the oa_pref file/options).

The preferences editor reads an XML file that contains all possible preferences and their valid options, and allows you to change them at will. In this example the user is changing the background colour in T/HIS.

Note that changes made in the Preferences editor will not affect the current session of T/HIS, they will only take effect the next time it is run.

If you have write permission on the oa_pref file in the $OA_INSTALL directory you will be asked if you want to update that file, otherwise you will only be given the option of updating your own file in your $OA_HOME directory.

For more information on the interactive preference editor see Appendix H.
