1. Introduction
The "Behaviour" tab in WorkPoint Express settings is quite elaborate and it can be difficult to decipher what some of the settings are used for. This article aims to give a quick explanation about each setting and hopefully provide better knowledge of the possibilities within WorkPoint Express.
2. Accessing the Behaviour tab
Accessing the behaviour tab in WorkPoint Express settings can be done in the following way:

- In WorkPoint Express, click the three dots to open the menu.
- In the menu, click "Settings".
- In the WorkPoint Express settings, click the "Behaviour" tab.
This opens the behaviour tab:
The behaviour tab is separated into sections, denoted by thin gray boxes and section titles. An example is shown below:
- The "General" section displays settings that are general to WorkPoint Express.
3. Sections
The following article sections describe the options in the behaviour tab sections.
3.1. General
Automatically show sidebar when Outlook starts up
This option decides whether the WorkPoint Express sidebar should open when Microsoft Outlook starts up.

This opens WPE in windows such as emails - i.e. when you create a new mail, WPE sidebar opens in the mail window.
Show properties in separate window
This option decides whether element properties in WorkPoint Express should show up in a separate window. If this is ticked OFF, properties are shown in the bottom of WorkPoint Express.
Automatically show properties when an item is selected
This setting decides whether the properties of a selected item should automatically be shown once the item is selected. If this setting is ticked OFF, users must click the "Properties" button in order to open the Properties panel.
Show default view as starting point for document lists
If this option is ticked ON, the default view will be active when opening document lists. The default view can be set in the settings for the list. If this option is ticked OFF, a standard view will be active, showing all elements in the list with no filtering.
Show default view as starting point for mail lists
If this option is ticked ON, the default view will be active when opening mail lists. The default view can be set in the settings for the list. If this option is ticked OFF, a standard view will be active, showing all elements in the list with no filtering.

When opening WorkPoint Express in for example an email window, this setting determines how it opens. If it is unchecked, both entity and detail window in WorkPoint Express is open, if checked the entity detail window is hidden.
