Tech Writing - Hyphenation Question

Hi,

Of the two options below, which is preferable?

  1. Page-level settings
  2. Page level settings.

I'm leaning toward #1 but could be convinced otherwise. :)

Thanks,
Steve

Same here...

BTW...from my Fiancé... "The first option, as it is a compound adjective. Hyphenation prevents confusion."
