General Options
Set the first day of the week. This is usually Sunday or Monday and controls which dates are selected in the Reports window for the "this week" and "previous week" date range selections.
Set your normal working start time. This option is used as the default start time for the first time entry added in the Edit Time Entries window.
If you use the Offline Time Tracking feature to use Complete Time Tracking Professional without a connection to the central server computer, such as from a remote location or while traveling, the categories and time entries that you create while offline are stored in a local database. One database is created for each server computer that you work offline with (though most users only work with a single server computer). The location of the offline databases is displayed on the General program options tab. You can select the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the full path and filename of the location to the Windows clipboard. You can select the Open Folder button to open the folder where the offline database files are located in Windows Explorer.
Permanent connections to the central server database are normally used however the system administrator can configure system options to specify that users use temporary connections. This allows for more scalability so that a larger number of users can be accommodated on a single server computer. Temporary connections can also help remote users in situations where the network connection to the server computer is somewhat unreliable, avoiding delays detecting a network connection failure.
Security actions specify whether each user has the ability to override the database connections setting. With Override connection setting unchecked the system wide default is used. When this option is checked you can change your setting from the system default.
Certain online operations such as checking for program updates and sending product feedback use a HTTP (web) connection to send and retrieve information from the Complete Time Tracking web site. If you use a HTTP proxy server for your Internet web connection then the proxy server details need to be configured in Complete Time Tracking for the online operations to work. The proxy server and port must be specified. The username and password are optional and should only be supplied if these details are required by your proxy server.
Complete Time Tracking Professional will automatically run when you start Windows, allowing you to immediately begin using it.
