QAS Pro can display certain address elements, such as the Town, in uppercase. It can even display the whole address in uppercase. By default, QAS Pro returns address elements in mixed case. This documents details how to change these settings.
1. Click on the Configuration Editor icon in the QAS Pro program group to run the Configuration Editor.
The Layout Manager lists the layouts available for each country address database enabling you to create new layouts and alter existing ones. Each address database has a default layout associated with it. You can modify this layout or choose to leave it intact and create a new layout with different settings.
2. To view the Layout Manager, click on the Layout Manager button on the toolbar. Alternatively, you can select ‘Layout Manager’ from the View menu or select it on the left-hand pane.
3. Creating a new layout: If you don’t want to use the settings in the Default layout, you can create a completely new one. If you wish, you can create an application-specific layout, which means that when you pop up Pro, it will detect the application that you are using and use the layout that you have set up for that application. In this case, you must use the name of the application as your layout name.
4. To capitalise elements go to the ‘Address format’ option within the layout you wish to customise. To get to the ‘Address format’ option within your chosen layout, click on the ‘+’ icon next to the layout.
5. Then click on the ‘Element Capitalisation’ option within ‘Address Formatting’ option of the Layout Manager.
6. To change the case of an element, select it from the element list and then click Change case.
7. Use the Preview pane to preview your changes.
8. Once the layout is configured save all changes using the File menu, or the floppy disk icon on the menu toolbar.
9. Restart QAS Pro and test your new layout has been correctly configured.
