The appropriate stacking of page guides when editing a page on the Pages main tab ensures that the guides help you place the page objects without cluttering the screen.

Default: Back

Recommended: Front of master

Notes about available values

Front: guides are displayed in front of all items

Front of master: guides are displayed above the master items, but under the page items

Back: guides are displayed under all objects

To select the stacking of page guides

1.On the Edit menu of the Pages main tab while not editing text, click Preferences.

2.On the Grid tab, under Placement, select the option you want.

3.Click OK to save the preference.

About saving preferences in database

When you click OK, the preferences are updated in the memory and applied right-on. GN4 will store the preference in the database when you exit application. Anyway, should your GN4 crash or exit in any other abnormal way, the preference will not be stored in database, and you will have to repeat the previously described steps.

This preference is stored in the Editorial_SystemUserConfig for the securityRef corresponding to the user name. To display that configuration, open EdAdmin4, click Client Applications, expand the search pane in the left sidebar, in the Name enter editorial, and in the securityRef select the name of the user. Double-click the Editorial_SystemUserConfig to open the content. Locate the preference by name.
