Setting general local options
You can set options for logging in, opening multiple instances of Helix ALM, and limiting memory used when integrating with Microsoft Excel and Word.
1. Choose Tools > Local Options then select the General category.
2. Select Always log in to this server with this username and password to automatically log in to the current server.
3. Select Always log in to this project to automatically log in to the current project when Helix ALM starts.
4. Select Allow multiple instances of this application to allow more than one instance of Helix ALM to run on your computer.
5. Enter the Test Case Management Automated Scripts Directory path or click Browse to select it.
Scripts are run from the ScheduledScripts directory in the Helix ALM application directory on Windows and the Perforce home directory on Unix by default. Change the directory if you do not have permission to modify these directories or you want to run scripts from a different location.
6. Enter the number of megabytes to Limit memory use to when exporting and importing to and from Microsoft Word, and opening Helix ALM items in Microsoft Excel.
This option controls the amount of memory the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can use. You may need to increase the memory if Java errors occur when adding Helix ALM items to Word or Excel format. The default is 512 MB. If you use Mac or Linux, click Browse to select the Java Runtime Path.
Note: This option only applies to Word exports from the Classic tab in the Export to Microsoft Word dialog box. The administrator can adjust memory usage for regular Word exports in the registry utility. See the Registry Utility help for information about changing memory use settings.
7. Click OK to save the changes.
