Preferences
The Preferences dialog is used to modify the general software preferences. Changes made in
this dialog affect the software globally, not individual templates and data mapping
configurations.
The Preferences dialog is separated into individual tabs, where each tab controls certain
aspects of the software.
General preferences
The General Preferences are as follows:
l
Always run in background: This option correlates with the "Always run in background"
option selectable in the "Document Boundaries Refresh" dialog and "Print via Print
Server" dialog. When either of these dialogs is used and the option is checked, it will also
be checked here. To prevent the refresh boundaries and print via print server dialogs to
automatically run as background, uncheck this option.
Clean-up Service preferences
The Clean-up Service defines how the Connect database and the "managed" temporary files
(referenced within said database) created during Connect production runs are cleaned up after
the production run has finished. The "managed" files include temporary data files, configuration
files and intermediate files created during the production process. They are longer be needed,
once the run has completed.
The values below define when the specified targets are to be set as ready for deletion, not
when they are actually deleted. The actual deletion occurs only when PlanetPress Connect is
started (if Run at application start up is selected), or when the Run Now button is pressed, or
as per the cron job scheduling.
Tip
The more items present in the database, and the larger they are, the more time and processing power
