Menu options version 12

A sample Journyx configuration

Menu options version 12

This page is added to be able to do a search on a keyword so you can find a specific setting in Journyx. For example, if you want to add an additional text entry field to an entry screen, you can use CTRL-F and type "additional". The search will show several results, one of which is "Activate additional entry fields". If you scroll up, you will see that this functionality can be found under "Sytem settings / Entry sheets". The menu options may differ from your version. Functionality is added or menu options are moved under another setting.
