Setting Options for the System Tab

Click the System tab on the Options dialog box to define your GoldMine system settings.

1. Navigate to Tools > Options.

The Options dialog box opens.

2. Select the System tab.
3. In the Navigation area, select the checkbox next to the following options as needed:

○ Use classic GoldMine menu. Select this option to display the default main menu rather than the current menu configuration.

○ Show status bar. Select this option to use the status bar.

○ Recent item shown. In the dropdown box, select the number of recent items you want to display.

4. In the Theme and Font area, select the color theme you prefer for the UI background. You can also select the font face and size to be used. Note that you must restart GoldMine to enable these particular changes.
5. In the Classic toolbar area, click Show button text to show the Classic GoldMine toolbar buttons.
6. In the Activity tabs area, select Show activity code in history tabs to show the activity code in the History tab.
7. In the Date and Time area, select the checkbox next to the following options as needed:

○ Show time in 24 hour format. Select this option to display time in a 24-hour format on the status bar and the time fields of windows. For example, 9:00 P.M. appears as 21:00 in the 24-hour time format.

○ Set EPOCH. Select this option to determine how GoldMine interprets dates when no century is indicated, that is, a date entry containing only the last two digits of the year. To scroll through values by five-year increments, click the up and down arrows next to the field. For example, if you set the value to 80, GoldMine will interpret the entry 03/10/80 as March 10, 1980 and the entry 10/01/70 as October 1, 2070.

8. In the Help area, select the checkbox next to Show tips at startup to display the User Tips when you launch GoldMine. Do not select this checkbox if you do not want to see the User Tips.

NOTE: For best results, assign the same user name in both GoldMine and MS Outlook.

9. At the MS Outlook user name if not the same as the GoldMine user text box, type the Microsoft Outlook user name if the Outlook user name is different than the GoldMine user name.
10. After making all of your selections, click OK.
