These preferences configure some aspects of the Switch user interface.

Description

Language

The language used for the user interface; the possible choices are determined at run-time depending on the installed language packs (English is always available)

Changes take effect only after re-launching Switch

Language environment

Indicates the overall language environment in which Switch is installed; choices are Western and Japanese

This setting affects the text encoding defaults for email and ZIP compression to match the legacy standards used in the selected language environment (that is, for interacting with software that does not use Unicode)

Hide unavailable configurators

If set to yes, configurators for unavailable applications are not shown in the Elements pane; otherwise they are shown in a grayed state (and can still be used to design flows)

Large icons in elements pane

If set to yes, the Elements pane displays large icons; otherwise it displays small icons

When exiting the flow designer

This preference determines what happens to Switch server when the user quits the flow designer. There are three possible choices:


  • Ensure processing is started: Switch server remains running in the background and continues processing flows

  • Ensure processing is stopped: Switch server is terminated

  • Ask the user: Switch Designer displays a dialog box so the user can select the appropriate option
