Easy View setup is very simple. In most cases, it will work fine without changing any default settings. There are some settings you can change to better customize Easy View to your needs.
To access the options page click the Tools menu and then options.
The different option sections can be accessed by clicking the tabs at the top.
Start Easy View with Windows
Check this option to start Easy View when Windows is started. Easy View will be started and put into the system tray.Minimize and send to system tray on exit
This option controls what happens when you exit Easy View. It only applies if you have one or more reports active in the Report Scheduler. When you close the program, instead of closing completely, it will be sent to the system tray (normally in the right side of the Task Bar). It will sit there and run all scheduled reports automatically. If you don't have any active reports in the Report Scheduler, Easy View will close completely.Only if report schedules are active
This option applies to the 2 previous options. When this option is checked Easy View will look to see if there are any active reports in the reports scheduler. If yes then the 2 previous options will operate as indicated above. If no then they will not apply.Unchecking this option will override the schedule check and cause the previous 2 options to apply at all times.
