Image File - Select the image file to use as the window background for this dataset. The window background image(s) that appear in AGRIS can be changed so a different image appears for each dataset. The image then serves as a visual signature for a dataset. When associating a background image with a dataset, you can use a system image or an image that you created. If you create an image, save the image as a .JPG file.

To change the background image for one or more datasets, do the following:

  • If you want to use one or more images that you created, be sure that the images are in a .JPG file format. Copy the image files to the <Drive Letter>:\AGRIS\Support folder.

  • From AGRIS System Manager > Customize > System Configuration > System Configuration (1 of 2) window, type D in the Background Image By box.

  • From AGRIS System Manager > Maintenance > Dataset Maintenance, select a dataset. In the Image File box on the Edit Selected Dataset window, select the image file that you want associated with the dataset.

Dataset TypeId- Accept the default value that appears. Currently, this box is not being used for any dataset type except the standard default dataset.

Allow ___ Idle Minutes Between HHMM and HHMM - Use this only if you are operating on a network. This feature is useful in instances where your system backup skips files or shuts down because data files are open. In order to prevent a workstation from holding open data files that are not being used, you can set a time limit for keeping data files open.

  • Type the idle time in minutes. When an AGRIS session exceeds the idle time, all data files are closed and a message appears, stating that the workstation was logged off.

  • Enter the time frame in hours and minutes, using military time format, if you want the idle time to apply only to a specific time frame.
