  • View panel width: View panel width defines the width of the left panel (library items table).
  • Use Large Font: large fonts are used to display data.
  • Program Lockout Time: if you do not use the program longer than the lockout time you will have to login again.
  • Start Screen: define the starting window, the window that will open after the program starts.
