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.
Access to preferences
To configure the preferences from the main page of the software, click on the " Configuration " menu, then select " Preferences ". | |
User preferences
The user preferences can be customized by any user. The changes done in this section will only be applied to the current user profile.
NOTE : If some users are not able to edit their user preferences, it is because they do not have the necessary accesses. To get the access needed go to the " User Management " page to give the users the rights to customize their preferences.
" Shortcut Bar " tab
The " Shortcut Bar " tab allows the shortcut bar to be modified by the user. The Shortcut bar is at the top of the homepage and contains different buttons/icons, allowing the users to access different management grids or sections of the software in a single click.
" Options " Tab
A: Allows a user to choose the display language of the software. |
B: Allows the user the option to change the background color between Prodon (orange) or Prolys (purple). |
C: When searching, if the option " When the button is clicked " is selected, click on the button " Search " of the Search Bar or press the " Enter " key on the keyboard to start the search once the search criteria is specified. Also, a delay can be selected to automatically launch the search when the time criteria is complete. | D: Allows the user the choice of selecting when the Web Section of the main page will be refreshed. For example, the user can choose if the refresh type will be done as soon as Logilys modifies something, when the user starts up the software, or to not display (not recommended). |
E: Allows the user to choose the language in which the Web section of the main page will be displayed. |
F: Allows for the customization of the path to the temporary folder. This configuration is usually done by the technicians at Logilys. |
G: Allows the user to choose which of the available shortcuts are to be created in the Start menu. The shortcuts available are: Prodon, the Support Center, the backup software, the web update software, the Wiki documentation, and the Logilys web site. |

I: Allows a window to open up which contains address fields (number, type of road, road name, point of call, etc.) to help users to use a consistent template for their client files. |
J: Allows the minimization of Prodon and places it in the notification zone of Windows at the bottom right of the screen. |
K: Allows to automatically open the scan file for additionnal 2D bar codes. | L: This option will allow you to automatically add the selected merge fields to be inserted in a new Master Documents when it opens for the first time. |
M: Allows the last filtered period to be automatically selected at the top right corner of the Analysis and history of transactions grid when opening it again. | N: If this box is activated, Prodon will display a window informing the user that there are online donations to import at each opening of the software (the " Online Donation Module " must be activated to be able to see this box). |
O: If this box is activated, Prodon will display a window informing the user that there are online donations to import every X minutes (the " Online Donation Module " must be activated to be able to see this box). A number of minutes can be set for each user. | P: Allows the codes for the campaigns, occasions, and activities to be displayed in the selection lists. |
" Regional Options " Tab

B: If the box " Active " is checked, it will be possible to quickly add a task by pressing the " Ctrl " + " Alt " + " T " keys from any management list in Prodon. |
C: These two options are associated to reminders for tasks. It is possible to choose between the two choices, the default value that will be assigned when creating a new task. For more informations about these options, consult the " Reminder Tab " section of the " Task and History Management " document. |
