Show Hints: Tells the program whether to show hints or not when the mouse is hovered over a control.  

 

First Time Run of the Application: Tells the program that it is the first run of the program.  This can be used to reset this value - that may be used when you contact the support team.

 

Select Application Skin:  This drop down allows you to choose what skin you want to use with the application.  This allows you to use a primarily dark skin, light skin, etc.  The program defaults to the "Basic" skin - which is the Windows default skin.

 

Grid & Pivot Grid Formats: These four fields allow you to set the default formats that the Grids will use to display the different types of data.

 

           Date Fields:You can use the drop down to pick from a number of defaults.  By default we use "yyyyy-MM-dd".  You can change it so that you can display time, full names of days and months, etc.
