NOTE: Restoring an old history item will store the current entry settings as a new history item.
== Automatic Database Opening
You can setup one or more databases to open automatically when you unlock a single database. This is done by *(1)* defining a special group named `AutoOpen` with *(2)* entries that contain the file path and credentials for each database that should be opened. There is no limit to the number of databases that can be opened.
TIP: Case matters with auto open, the group name must be exactly `AutoOpen`.
.AutoOpen Group and Entries

To setup an entry for auto open perform the following steps:
1. Create a new entry and give it any title you wish.
2. If your database has a key file, enter its absolute or relative path in the `username` field.
3. If your database has a password, enter it in the `password` field
4. Enter the absolute or relative path to the database file in the `url` field. You can also use the `{DB_DIR}` placeholder to reference the absolute path of the current database file.
5. To restrict auto open to particular devices, go to the advanced category and enter the following:
a. Create a new attribute named `IfDevice`.
b. Enter hostnames in a comma separated list to define computers that will open this database.
c. Prepend an exclamation mark (`!`) to explicitly exclude a device.
d. Examples: `LAPTOP, DESKTOP` will auto open on a computer named LAPTOP or DESKTOP. `!LAPTOP` will auto open on all devices *not* named LAPTOP.
.Auto open IfDevice example

NOTE: You can setup an entry to open on double click of the URL field by prepending `kdbx://` to the relative or absolute path to the database file. You may also have to add `file://` to access network shares (e.g., `kdbx://file://share/database.kdbx`).
== Database Settings
At any point of time, you can change the settings for your database. To make changes to the general settings, perform the following steps:
