Font

Set global preference for font face, size, and style used throughout the Console, except on windows or views where you can set fonts specific to those Console elements. (For example, you can set fonts specific to Grid views as detailed in the next topic.)

Click into the Font field to get the drop-down menu arrow.

Click the arrow to bring up the Fonts dialog. Set the Font, Size and Style.

Launch editors in a floating window

Open all editors in a floating window. If deselected, all editors appear in the Inspect/Edit panel. If you select this option, you can still float or dock the windows.

Allow multiple editors of the same type

Permit more than one resource editor to be opened simultaneously for a given resource type (for example, opening three instances of the Filter Editor at once). Enabling this option is very useful for analysts and persons implementing security solutions, but might be inappropriate for operators or other persons who should have less-extensive editing access.

Allow multiple event inspectors

Display details of multiple events in their respective Event Inspector tabs on the Inspect/Edit panel. If de-selected (the default), you can only view event details one event at a time.

For more information about the Event Inspector, see Inspecting and Editing and Event Inspector.

Allow Bulk Delete

Delete multiple resources without any dependency warnings. If de-selected, you can still delete multiple resources but you see a warning if there are any resource dependencies.

Create independent floating windows

Independently float new windows that are children of another window such as the Viewer panel. This is the default. When enabled, you can choose a window's name from the list at the Window>Floating command, or toolbar button to bring it forward:

Auto Relogin

Automatically log in again after logging out of the Console.

Use system defaults for dashboard background

When this option is selected, your system defaults are used for all Dashboard backgrounds.

You can customize views for dashboards for display on the Web browser. See Using Custom View Dashboards.

Show print preview dialog

Display a preview of the printable page when you choose to print a resource definition, for example, a rule definition. This preference is selected by default.

Print preview options include Print, view each printable page (as applicable), and zoom in or out of the previewed page. For more information about printing, see Printing from the Console.

Set Help dialog size (Width,Height)

The Help display window defaults to width of 910 x length of 650 pixels.

You can specify a different default Help window display size here. To do this, enter a new window size (for example: 750,900), then press the Enter key.

Note: Press Enter after setting the new display size, and then also click Apply or OK to save all preference settings. If you do not press Enter, the new window size setting cannot be saved even if you click Apply or OK.
