Basic Settings
| Property | Description |
| Remember Logins | By default, the app requires the user to log in every time it is opened on the device. This provides high security, although it can be a nuisance if the device has its own PIN to unlock. Ticking this option means the user will stay logged in on the app between sessions. |
| Log User Location | Enables logging of user GPS location. Location (if available) is logged on every app synchronization and is stored in the user's account history. Users & Groups > Edit User > Location History |
| Date Format | Enter the format you would like dates to be displayed. Valid options are: d, dd = day ddd, dddd = day of week M = month y = year Example: MM/dd/yyyy, dd-MMM-yyyy |
| Time Format | Enter the format you would like times to be displayed. Valid options are: h = hour m = minute s = second tt = A.M. or P.M. h/H = 12/24 hour hh, mm, ss = display leading zero h, m, s = do not display leading zero Example: HH:mm, hh:mm tt, HH:mm:ss |
| Start Screen | Choose a Custom Board of Icons screen as the starting point for your app; this will replace the default app start screen. |
| Info Alert | Customize the Info Alert box (In-app Task Notification) on the Default Start Screen. Only available when using the default app start screen. Formula Examples: Title {( DSCOUNT('APPTASKS') )} Assigned Task(s) Subtitle {( IF(DSCOUNT('APPTASKS', '{{this[5]}} < UTCNOW()') > 0, CONCAT(DSCOUNT('APPTASKS', '{{this[5]}} < UTCNOW()') , ' Overdue!') , CONCAT('Next due on ' , FORMAT-DATE(DSFIRST('APPTASKS' , 5) , 'dd MMM'))) )} Text Color - f(x) Mode IF(DSCOUNT('APPTASKS', '{{this[5]}} < UTCNOW()') > 0 , '#f24444', '#7b7b7b') Background Color #D1EBFF In-app Result

Advanced Options
| Property | Descriptions |
| Disable Password Change | By default, the app's Settings screen allows users to change their password as desired. Use this option to remove the password change area from the app for all users in this company account. |
| Wait for Sync On Load | By default, the app will perform all data syncing in the background, allowing the user to start working immediately while the sync is still in progress. When this option is enabled, the app will instead display a blocking overlay when syncing, forcing the user to wait for the sync to finish. This will only occur when the user logs into the app or resumes the app from the background -other background sync intervals will continue as normal. This is useful for cases where you must ensure the users have the latest data before they start working with the app. |
| Hide Remember Answers | By default, the app's Settings screen allows users to remember answers for Form screens. Use this option to remove the Remember Answers checkbox from the app for all users in this company account. |
| Show Draft Entry Badges | Form Screen icons on the app's start screen show a circular badge containing the number of saved, in-progress entries for that Form. |
Hide Task Status | By default, the app will show a box outlining the user's Tasks on the start screen. This option allows you to disable this default. |

| Property | Description |
| Background Shading | Specify your app's custom background color style. |
| Title Bar Shading | Specify your app's title bar color style. |
