Set Annotations Preferences

You can set the annotations options for text editors using the Preferences dialog. The annotation settings affect the appearance and location in which different annotations such as bookmarks and breakpoints are displayed in the Program Listing area.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Window, Preferences.
   The Preferences dialog opens.

2. Expand General, Editors, Text Editors and select Annotations.
   The Preferences dialog opens the Annotations page.

3. Change the default settings for the following fields to suit your needs:

   • Annotation Types
     Lists the types of annotations that you can change.

     Note: CA InterTest™ does not support the Annotation types Spelling Errors or Tasks.

   • Show in
     Specifies the location in which the annotation type appears (in text with selected attributes, in the Overview ruler, or in the Vertical ruler) in the Program Listing area, and the color of the annotation type.

   • Vertical ruler
     Specifies that the annotation type appear on the vertical ruler.

   • Overview ruler
     Specifies that the annotation type appear on the overview ruler.

   • Text As
     Indicates that the annotation type appears as highlighted text or a squiggly line. Select this option and specify Highlighted or Squiggly Line.

4. Click OK.
   CA InterTest™ saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding sessions unless you change the preferences again.

   Note: You can restore the default configuration settings anytime on the Preferences dialog. To restore the default settings, navigate to the page you want to restore, click Restore Defaults, and then click OK.
