Global default settings for menu types which display articles in different layouts and formats.
==How To Access==
To access this screen:
* Navigate to the [[Help30:Content_Article_Manager|Article Manager]] screen, then
* Click the '''Options''' toolbar button.  This opens the Article Manager Options screen in a modal window.

==Description==
Used to set global defaults for menu items that display articles. These default values will be used when "Use Global" is selected for an option in an Articles menu item. For example, to show the 'Create Date' for an article in your Articles menu items, then set that option to "Show" here and it will be the default value. You do ''not'' need to set any of these options. Your Joomla site will work with the default settings.

==Quick Tips==
*If you are a beginning user, you can just keep the default values here until you learn more about using global options.
*If you are an advanced user, you can save time by creating good default values here. When you set up menu items and create articles, you will be able to accept the default values for most options.
*All values set here can be overridden at the menu item, category, or article level.
