Startup:
Choose whether to start up CMS in List View or Contact View. If no option is chosen, CMS will start up in the Contact View. You can also choose a filter that will be applied upon startup by selecting a defined filter from the drop-down menu. If no option is chosen, CMS will show all contacts with no filter applied.

Security:
Enter an administrator password. CMS will ask for this password when opening the program. This only blocks critical areas. For more comprehensive security you also have an option to Activate Form Level Security. This allows you to set up different passwords for different users as well as assign them to specific areas and tasks in the program. For example, you may assign someone security clearance to work with the bank account register, whereas another person in your organization won't be able to access that. To use Form Level Security, click the check box. A form will open up which will allow you to setup the form level security. For more information on Form Level Security, see Security.
