Control when an object can be opened in a new window

You have now more control over whether an object can be opened in a new window. The options for Allow this Object to be Opened in a New Window are:

Never

This object cannot be opened in another window by an end-user.

Manually

This object can be manually opened in another window by an end-user. They do this by using the Window -> Open in a New Window main or popup menu options.

Automatically

This object should be opened in a new window automatically when it is selected in the navigation pane. In effect this means that this object will always operate in a separate window to the one it is launched from.  

Automatically or Manually

This object should be opened in a new window automatically when it is selected in the navigation pane, and, it can be manually opened by an end-user.

 

Note: None of these options have any impact on the ability of developers to programmatically open new windows by using the avShowWindow method (see Programmatically Creating and Managing Windows).
