Are you annoyed by the fact that whenever you bring a record up in the serials module you always get the pub schedule window front and center, and do you wish that a different window would do that? Guess what: we know how to change it! All you have to do is make one quick alteration to your serial.ini file on your hard drive. Here's what to do:
1. Through either My Computer or Windows Explorer, find your serial.ini file on your hard drive. It should live in Al500\Serial\Tab\
2. Open the file using NotePad (you can just double click on the file and it should launch NotePad)
3. About halfway through the file, you should see this:
CopyWindowPosition=0,75
CopyWindowResize=Y
CopyWindowRelocate=Y
CopyWindowSize=700,400
CopyWindowOpenMethod=I
SchedWindowPosition=73,177
SchedWindowResize=Y
SchedWindowRelocate=Y
SchedWindowSize=800,400
SchedWindowOpenMethod=F
IssueWindowPosition=100,50
IssueWindowResize=Y
IssueWindowRelocate=Y
IssueWindowSize=900,500
IssueWindowOpenMethod=I
RoutListWindowPosition=175,100
RoutListWindowResize=Y
RoutListWindowRelocate=Y
RoutListWindowSize=600,300
RoutListWindowOpenMethod=I
The last line of each paragraph is the key here. If you want the Items Window to pop up first, change IssueWindowOpenMethod=I to IssueWindowOpenMethod=F. If you want the Subscription Window to pop up first, change CopyWindowOpenMethod=I to CopyWindowOpenMethod=F. The F means Fully Open. Only one of those four paragraphs can be front; the rest have to be I, which is Iconized.
4. Choose Save from the File menu, and Exit NotePad.
5. Restart your Serials client, and voila! You should see your changes take effect.
