A run of an Invantive application which is not a person going about their work - an automated run, a test, a demonstration, or a session driven by an assistant - can be marked as such. The marker is shown in the title bar of every window of the application, so it is unmistakable on a screen capture, on a recording, or over someone's shoulder. Set the environment variable `INVANTIVE_RUN_SIGNAL` to the text to show: ``` set INVANTIVE_RUN_SIGNAL=AI STARTED ``` The title bar then reads `[AI STARTED] Invantive Query Tool`, `[AI STARTED] Log in`, and so on. Clear the variable to return to an ordinary run. ## Which Products Honour It The signal is part of the shared Microsoft Windows framework and is therefore honoured by the products which draw their windows with it: - [[Invantive Query Tool/Invantive Query Tool|Invantive Query Tool]]; - [[Invantive Studio/Invantive Studio|Invantive Studio]]; - [[Invantive Runtime/Invantive Runtime|Invantive Runtime]]; - [[Invantive Data Loader/Invantive Data Loader|Invantive Data Loader]]; - [[Invantive Business/Invantive Business|Invantive Business]]. It applies to windows drawn with Windows Presentation Foundation as well as to those drawn with Windows Forms, so all screens of these products carry it. ## Windows Without a Title Bar Some windows draw their own frame and have no title bar of their own; the log on window is the clearest example. Such a window shows the signal as a coloured banner underneath the name of the product instead. The banner keeps its signal colour whether the application renders light or dark, because its purpose is to draw the eye. ## What It Does Not Do The signal changes the appearance only. It does not alter what the application does with data, which databases it reaches, or which rights apply. It is a marker, not a mode. Each of these products can also be given the signal on the command line, as `/signal=<text>`, which marks one run without touching the environment of the shell; see for example [[Invantive Query Tool/Command Line Options|Command Line Options]]. Available from release 27.0. [[Invantive Data Hub/Invantive Data Hub|Invantive Data Hub]] has no window and therefore shows no signal. ## See Also - [[Folders]] - [[Invantive UniversalSQL/General/Settings|Settings]]
