This statement is used to make changes to various application settings or items. The changes are automatically reverted as follows: When batch processing, the changes are reverted when the batch process stops. When not batch processing, the changes are reverted when the action started from the UI stops.
Set Changes
Various functionality uses default application sets. You can override the default values via specifying alternate sets. When the alternate set name is empty, the pre-action value will be reset. The set name can be chosen from a drop down menu or can be manually entered. The set name can contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences. At runtime, the set name must exist, be the empty string or be none (case insensitive). None is equivalent to removing the associated set. eg. setting the Natural Sort Exception Set to none, means there is no Natural Sort Exception Set.
The following sets can be overridden:
Individual Settings
You can override the current values of individual settings with this mode. When changing a value, if the specified value is empty, the setting will be restored to its initial value. When the specified value is not empty, it is used to override the setting. All modified application settings are restored when action processing terminates. The value field can contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences.
