CAUTION : This document is for VERSION 5 of Prodon. To go to the document for version 4, click here.

Introduction

The preferences tab allows the user to customize the general configuration settings in the software. For example, the activation/deactivation of some fields or options in the software, the configuration of the format or the setting for the layout of some fields.

There are 2 types of preferences: system preferences and user preferences.
