  • Use client defaults: Use the default setting in the client file.

  • Never Save: The document does not save when closed. This setting hides the save prompt and assumes that you never want to save the document. You can only save the document using the standard saving methods.
  • Prompt (Default): Display a save prompt each time the document is closed.

Client Options

Configure linkage properties between CaseView and Working Papers.

Option Description

Select to use the Map/Group sign field in the linked Working Papers database.

Use working trial balance report tab properties for Cash Flow account

Select to use the Cash Flow account properties in the Report worksheet of the trial balance.

Document owns CaseView database records

Select to enable any records written to the CaseView database to generate a unique ownership code linking back to the document. When a cell uses a CVDATA function to locate information in the database, it will attempt to use the ownership code first. If no information matching the ownership/group/form/ID is found, it will then search for any independent group/form/ID as it normally would, or any values owned by other documents.

An External Data Access cell, however, will only search for a matching document owned group/form/ID to retrieve the data. If no document owned value is located, the cell will return a NULL value.

This option enables document authors to create SmartSync compatible documents. By tracking changes based on document ownership, Working Papers can resolve a conflict by not only restoring a previous version of a CaseView document, but the associated database records as well. Inconsistencies would appear if the document were restored from a conflict and simply retrieve the most recent database records.

Notes:

  • If no document owned values are present in the database, cells with CVDATA calculations will draw from independent values. This can result in inconsistencies in presented data as some cells may display document owned values while others show independent values. When a client file has CaseView document ownership enabled, ensure any existing independent database values will not cause a discrepancy.
  • When writing a new record to the database, it is still necessary to give a unique group/form/ID to ensure conflicts do not arise. The document ownership option is not meant to offset this requirement.
  • Enabling this option automatically enables the CaseView database records saved when document saved option.
  • If Sync on Demand is enabled, you must manually sync the CaseView document to sync to other child copies. If this option is disabled and Sync on Demand enabled, changes to the CaseView database through the CaseView document will synchronize automatically.
CaseView database records saved when document saved

Select to hold any values that are going to be written to the CaseView database in a cache until the document is saved, rather than writing the values to the database in real time. This option is automatically enabled when Document owns CaseView database records is selected, as that function already writes its information to the cache instead of directly to the database.

Include adjustments when calculating Net Income balances

Select to update adjustments to Net Income account balances automatically.

  • Apply adjustments to: Select a map number, leadsheet or group to apply the adjustments.
Lock SmartSync documents for exclusive use

Select to lock the CaseView document for exclusive use after the first user accesses the document. If anyone attempts to modify the same document while in an online child copy, they will receive a message that the document is in use. Subsequent users can still open the document in a read-only state.

Select to enable JsRT (JavaScript Runtime) in the current file. CaseView JavaScripts will execute using JsRT (Internet Explorer 11 and later, Microsoft Edge) rather than ActiveScript (Internet Explorer 9 and earlier).
