Console Options Window

Configuration > Console Options

The Console Options Window allows you to set your preferences for the Console. These settings are saved in your user profile on this computer only, and do not affect other users.

General Options

Console Auto-Refresh Interval

The Console Auto-Refresh Interval specifies the interval (in seconds) at which the Console will retrieve the latest data from the adTempus server. When you are connected to many servers, or to a server with a large number of jobs, you may need to increase the interval (refresh less often) to improve the performance of the Console.

With the auto-refresh interval set to a longer interval, you can always refresh the Console by pressing F5 in any Console view.

Startup View

Select the view you want adTempus to show when the Console first opens.

Welcome Page. The Console will start on the Welcome Page, which shows adTempus news, announcements, forum postings, Knowledge Base articles, etc.
Jobs View for default server connection. The Console will start on the Jobs View for the server connection that you marked as your default server.
Job Monitor View for default server connection. The Console will start on the Job Monitor View for the server connection that you marked as your default server.

If your Console is connected to more than one adTempus server, you can designate your default connection using the option in the Server Connection window.

Timestamp Display

If the Console is in a different time zone than the adTempus server, you can choose to have timestamps (such as Next Start time, Last Start time, message log timestamps, etc.) displayed either in the time zone of the server (the default setting) or the time zone of the Console.

Reset all hidden messages

This option turns back on all messages you have previously hidden by checking the "Do not show this message again" box when the message was displayed.

Feature Usage Reporting

Check the Allow the adTempus Console to collect feature usage information option to allow the adTempus Console to collect and report information about how you use the Console. This information helps us understand how customers are using the software. The information is collected and reported anonymously. It does not include any information from your adTempus data; it just counts of the number of times you use particular features.

Note: This option controls reporting for the adTempus Console only, and each user's preference is saved separately. Feature usage reporting for the adTempus server is controlled through the Server General Options window.
