Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

PM Interface - The items that load should be able to loaded as "deselected"

When PM Interface loads, all the items within automatically display and start as "selected".  Despite the fact that there is a "deselect all" button, our users are forgetting to deselect and then reselect the one item that needs to be interfaced.  In fact, 99% of the time you would never want to interface all items because you probably only have one item that has been executed by an owner or a subcontractor. 

 

Without debating whether it should be loaded as all selected or all deselected (I am not proposing this change to all customers because some people undoubtedly like it this way), why not give the the company admin a way to hit F3 to set a system-wide default, or make a company parameter to define how this loads?  That way each company can change to fit there needs.  

 

Of course, this is not F3'able right now because the form has special properties.  So, a company-parameter seems a more likely solution.

    There is another suggestion for this same/similar thing, with a few more votes. May be they can be combined? 

    PM Interface Items should be Unchecked by Default
