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 at each 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.
