40 Program Options
40.1 Overview ¶
The Program Options window is the global configuration dialog of the program. Here you set up email accounts, printers, database connections, notifications, processing intervals and other program-wide settings. Unlike the Profile Settings (see Chapter 8), the program options apply across all profiles.
Open: Choose Menu - Options… or the keyboard shortcut, if configured.
