User Mode Maintenance allows you to define a group of users and
then customize the application for each group's particular needs.
You may disable or password-protect almost any menu choice or
command in the application.  The default order, default browse
status and browse fields may be adjusted for each data view.  For
spreadsheet views, you may adjust which areas are displayed and
edited.  Macros and special messages may also be customized for
each user mode.

User Mode Maintenance may be accessed by using a keystroke,
usually CTRL-U (although this may be altered by modifying the
SMART.CFG file), while at any menu or command list.  It may also
be accessed from the User Mode Maintenance option on the
Utilities Menu.  Choices on the current menu or command list
are listed down the left side of the screen.  A series of columns
appear to the left, each one representing a different user mode.
If more user modes have been defined than will fit on the screen,
an arrow will be displayed on the right hand border, and you may
scroll the columns left or right by pressing the arrow keys.


You may move the highlighter to any menu choice for any user mode
and disable, enable or password it.  If it is disabled, the code
"////////" is shown.  If it is passworded, the password will be
displayed.  Otherwise the box will be empty.


A special user mode named "Dev" has been reserved for application
developers.  Commands and menu items may not be disabled for this
user mode.  However, it can be customized with the user mode Info
command.

The following is a brief synopsis of each command available from
the User Mode Maintenance subsystem:
..pointform
DISABLE causes the highlighted menu item to be disabled for the
     highlighted user mode.

ENABLE causes a previously disabled item to be re-enabled.

PASSWORD assigns a password to an item, enabling it if it had
     been previously disabled.

NEXT MENU allows you move to another menu in the application.
     After selecting this command, the highlighter moves into
     the list of menu items, allowing you to select one. You will
     then be taken to that menu, where you may continue to enable
     or disable menu items.

ADD USER MODE allows you to create a new user mode.

DELETE USER MODE lets you remove a user mode.

USER MODE INFO allows you to change the starting menu, printing
     preferences, description, messages, data view preferences,
     spreadsheet access or macros for the highlighted user mode.

GLOBAL INFO allows you to change the autohelp text and colours
     for the current menu.

FILE FIX recovers from an interrupted Add User Mode or Delete
     User Mode operation.

SWITCH USER MODES allows you to alter your user mode status for
     the remainder of the session.  When you log off, your user
     mode is restored to its original state.

QUIT exits the User Mode Maintenance subsystem.
