General tab

Directory for temporary files

Specify the directory where Octoplant stores temporary files created during your work.

You can choose one of the following options:

  • the Windows temporary directory
  • the default directory in the client archive
  • a user-defined directory

For the user-defined directory, you can select any path in the file system.

Miscellaneous

  • Language

    Specifies the language in which the clients are displayed. Alternatively, you can select the language from the Language dropdown menu in the Extras tab in the menu bar.

    The language of the BackupClient is configured directly within that application and is independent of this setting.

    The language of server messages is defined in the AdminClient in the Global settings module.

  • Use login history for this client (last 20 max)

    When selected, the last 20 logged-in users are offered for selection in a dropdown menu in the UserClient login dialog.

  • Require entry in "Changes" when creating a base version

    When selected, a dialog opens when a base version is created that requires you to enter a comment. If this option is cleared, no comment is required.

  • UserClient background process update interval (minutes)

    Specifies the interval, in minutes, at which background processes in the UserClient are updated. You can choose whether all components, only selected components, or only components in the selected directory are updated.

  • Show pop-up in the notification area when Check-In/Check-Out is completed

    When selected, a pop-up notification appears in the system notification area (right side of the taskbar) after a component is checked in or checked out.

File manager options

Define which file manager opens when you select Show in file manager, use the corresponding context menu entry, or press Ctrl+E.

By default, Octoplant uses Windows Explorer. To use a different file manager, specify its path.

Warnings

In the Warnings section, you can define when the system displays warning messages. You can enable warnings for the following situations:

  • When closing the UserClient or EasyClient or during Check-Out, if local changes have been made that have not yet been checked in
  • When opening a component in an editor
  • When button scripts are executed for more than one component
  • For components with Multi-user editing enabled: If no project data is copied from the server during Check-Out
