Option

Description

Activate auto security when logging in

If you like auto-security but keep forgetting to activate it each morning, this option is for you. Check this box and CU*BASE will automatically prompt you activate auto-security every time after you enter your employee ID and password on the Welcome screen.

  • NOTE: After checking this box and using Enter, you may immediately be asked to activate auto-security for the current session.

Launch ProDOC when logging in

If you use ProDOC daily and don't want to log in manually every day, this option is for you!  Check this box and you will automatically be logged into ProDOC when you log into CU*BASE.

  • The user/password is also used for idocVAULT.  It is important to set your own password for this username in case you need to manually log into either software.

  • If your user does not exist, one will be automatically created for you and you will be given a default set of permissions.  Additional permissions can be assigned by your Imaging System Administrator.

  • If you want to manually log in and to set your password/view your username, go to the time out window and click My Document Image Vault.  Then click Admin to set a password for your username.  IMPORTANT:  Make note of your username as well.  If you do not do this step, your password will not be known to you.

  • This feature is not available to credit unions with in house imaging vaults that are not Imaging Solutions Release Managed clients.

  • What do I do if I have a workstation that does not have ProDOC installed?  

Tools to show when logging in

Select one of the following to determine which tools show on the home page when logging in. Don't forget you can select to view other toolsets manually on the home page.

  • All my tools

Selecting this option will show all tools on the home page that you currently have access to.

  • My favorites

Selecting this option will show only tools that you or your credit union have designated as a favorite. Selecting this option will also display a Select option; use the select button to access the screen to choose which specific favorite toolset to show.

  • All available tools

Selecting this option will show all tools that are available, both tools you have been assigned, and tools that are available to be assigned to you (unassigned tools will appear gray and cannot be selected until assigned in Employee Security).

When displaying favorites

Select which groups of favorites to show, only your configured favorite toolsets, only your credit unions shared favorites groups, or both. (Note: Data Center employee IDs will not be able to see credit union groups.)

Sort by

Sort favorites by the configured display sequence (the order in which you organized your favorite tools), the Tool #, or the tool title.

Color theme

Use the lookup to select a different theme to replace the Classic Blue with a different background and button coloring on all CU*BASE screens.

  • This theme will not refresh until you have exited the Preferences screen.

Current Color Theme Options:

  • Classic Blue (this is the default CU*BASE standard)

  • Clean Linen

  • Deep Winter

  • High Contrast

  • Key Lime

  • Northern Lights

  • Reflecting Pool

  • Tickled Pink

  • Twilight

Screen size (where available)

Use this option to select which default screen size appears when entering a screen that contains screen size options Standard, Large, or Extra Large.

  • For some screens only Standard and Large are available. If you select Extra Large and access this screen, you will view the Large screen.

You may also want to set up your monitor resolution to handle the larger screens.How do I change my screen resolution to take best advantage of the larger screen sizes available for CU*BASE GOLD?

Show advanced search options (exact match and long description)

Select this box to show the Exact match and Search long description selection boxes on the home page.

Show alternate row shading on the home page tool list

If you prefer alternate row shading in the tool list (every other tool is shaded in gray), select this option. Deselect this option to show an all-white background.

Show tool group buttons (My Favorite, All My Tools, etc.)

If you do not want to see the drop down that allows selection of different toolsets, deselect this button. Note that when the option is not visible, you lose the option to move between different toolsets from the home page.

Show Work Follow-Ups button if I have outstanding follow-ups

Select this option to show the button to Work Follow-Ups if any outstanding member follow-ups are assigned to you.

Columns to show in the tools list

Choose to show only the columns you want to see between the Shortcut, Info button, and Favorites button on the home page.

Hide tool list until search is performed

Select this option to not display a tool list until a search is initiated in the Search for field on the home page. Regardless of which toolset is selected, no tools will appear until the enter key is used to search.

Note that this setting also applies to selecting a filter. This means that if you're electing to hide the tools list on your home page using this setting, selecting a filter category or type will not automatically display tools - you must still complete a search to display any tools in that filter group.

Show Filter by... buttons

Select this option to display the drop down list that allows you to filter tools by Category or Type.

Show images on right sidebar

This option is not currently available.
