This provides the name of an image file that should be used to display on the Bookings Calendar and (using the default settings for the appearance headings) on the login page.

Past Repeatable Minutes Between Flushes

Exprodo DB has some Biskit Types that support repeats such as Events, Bookings and Time Templates. As the time for each instance of the repeat passes, a new Booking or Event etc. is created to represent the instance of the repeat that happened. This is done so that, when a repeat Booking (or Event etc) is changed, you do not change the record of what happened in the past.

This setting sets up how often Exprodo DB looks for repeats that have just happened and need a new historical entry creating.

Minimum Time Between Database Dumps In Minutes

This limits the frequency with which database dumps can be created. This is here because database dumps take some time and can degrade system performance, so they don't want to be allowed to be run too often.

Temporary Directory

This is the name of a directory that is used to store temporary files that are created for downloading.

Run Data-Definition Validation At Boot

 

If Biskit definitions are changed using the Bakery, then it is possible that the system may be left in an inconsistent state.

This setting disables the boot-time checks that are done to make sure the Biskit definitions are consistent. If there is a problem and boot-time checks are enabled, then Exprodo DB will not boot properly. If there is a problem and boot-time checks are disabled, then the user may be able to correct the problem in the Bakery, but the issue may cause something to work incorrectly in the meantime.

Read-Only Mode

This indicates whether Exprodo DB should operate in a read-only mode.

Check Reserved Words

Choose whether to enable protection that stops users from using reserved database words for table, column and property names when using the Bakery. This is particularly important if exporting the Exprodo DB database to a different type of database.

Submit Crash Reports

Choose whether to allow crash reports to be emailed to Exprodo Software. Automatic delivery of crash reports are a very useful tool for helping to find and fix problems and are only used for this purpose.

Default Initial Page Token

Choose which page is displayed by default when this program is first started. Enter the text after the '#' in the browser's address bar, and before any non-alphanumeric characters

Maximum File Upload Megabytes

choose the maximum size of a file to be uploaded as an attachment. The default is 10 Megabytes.
