Customizing Talon

 

Talon can be customized to suit your personal needs and data entry style. You can customize how data is displayed and create shortcuts to increase your productivity.

 

Display Customizations

In Talon you can customize the way forms and the Messages window are displayed. See the following topics for more details:

 

Form Options

Message Views

Configure Highlights

 

Printing Options

Talon provides options for printing your messages. See Printing for additional information.

 

Shortcuts

There are features provided to help you create shortcuts for performing tasks in Talon.

 

Custom Buttons and Keystrokes

Custom buttons and keystrokes can be created to launch frequently used forms. See Function Key Buttons for more details.

 

Repetitive Data Entry

There may be times when you will be using the same form to enter multiple inquiries in a row. To speed up this process, turn off the Close Form on Transmit option located in the LEIN Options dialog. Unchecking this option will keep whatever form you are currently working in open after you transmit the inquiry. If this option is checked, the forms will close when you transmit the inquiry and you will need to re-open the form if you need to make another inquiry.
