Field Definitions: DM Page Splitter Form

The following is a list of field descriptions for the DM Page Splitter form. Many of the descriptions include links to other topics that provide additional information about or related to the topic.

Recent Sessions

Recent Sessions drop down in the Page Splitter form.

If you want to resume a prior session, select a session from the drop down.

The form retains the state of your last ten sessions when either the form or Vista is closed so you can resume a prior session with the items already split out still grayed out and remaining items waiting for you. The most recent session is listed first.

Any time you do any one of the following, the system automatically saves the session:

  • drag a new page onto the splitter AND you choose to replace the existing pages

  • either click the Clear Form button or close the form while there are existing pages

  • close the form and any of these have changed since the last session:

    • split name controls

    • attachment type

    • form location or size
