Use the Main tab to select the default record view to use for selection on the entry of each maintenance form. This setting works with security.
Organisation and Contact Hierarchy Display
Greentree Desktop displays the organisation hierarchy chart on the Organisation and Contact Maintenance forms. If you have a number of contacts per organisation, then you can turn this display off. The settings on the Module Control Main tab enable you to toggle these settings.
Location-Organisation Relationship
The Location-Organisation Relationship determines whether there is a link between the organisation and a location. If so, whether the link allows for one or more organisations to be linked to a location.
You can select the primary organisation, and other valid organisations for the locations. This setting determines which of these fields are available during location maintenance.
Attachments
You can add attachments throughout CRM, which compresses and stores those attachments in the JADE database. Use this tab to indicate that attachments must be stored outside of the database.

You can also indicate how Greentree Desktop should manage the source file. Click the Attachments link to view detail about attachments.
