Preferences
In this section you can configure different aspects of the user and the interface of the platform.
User session. Stay always logged in
The first place allows you to choose whether you want the session to be always open when accessing from the same browser.
In case of disabling this option, the inactivity time is requested, after which the session will be closed automatically. We strongly recommend to use configure an inactivity time in order to improve the security of the platform.
Time zone and visualization
Every user can configure his own time zone. The use of this in the platform is necessary to display graphics located in time, as well as to notify alarms at the correct time. In addition, the platform allows the user to define whether he wants the time to be taken into account to be that of the installation or that of the user himself.
Numeric format
Specifies how you want to display the numeric value: comma or decimal point and thousands separator.
Language
Selection of the platform display language. Once a language is selected, the entire platform and messages will be displayed in that language. However, if controls appear whose variables are not displayed in the set language, it is because the creator of your library has not entered the translations before creating the control.
