Allow metriQ to close all open applications when shutting down: when this option is unchecked, MetriQ will remain open until all open and running applications within MetriQ are manually closed. When this option is checked, MetriQ will try to close all open applications before closing itself.
Allow simultaneous use of Icons across folders: Keep this option checked if you wish a timing icon to function while moving between different User Folders. Turning this function off will prohibit you moving to another User folder while that icon is running. Note: Only available for FULL users (see also Staff Administrator).
Enable Font Scaling:

When checked, MetriQ will enable font scaling. This option should be checked if you are using larger fonts than normal within your windows settings.

Hide Folder Change Alert Window when moving across folders:
When left Un-Checked, MetriQ will display a Window Alert, whenever you move between folders, while an application is running, and if that application has an icon on the newly selected folder (see also Moving between User Folders ).
Minimize MetriQ when Launching an application: When this option is checked, MetriQ will minimize to the task bar whenever an icon is opened.
Only allow "User" Folders to be created: When checked this option ensures that only the User folders are shown in MetriQ when creating a new Folder (See also MetriQ Folders).
Note: Only available for FULL users (see also Staff Administrator).
Search for other users' <Shared> icons at logon:
When checked, MetriQ will endeavor to make sure all icons on another user's computer are also added to the User Folders on your computer. This will only occur if the other user's icons have the <Shared> option checked (see also Icon Properties) AND the corresponding software package or file also exists on your computer or is a shared resource on a network.
Note: Only available for FULL users (see also Staff Administrator).
Show Folder Budget Status on Main Window: When checked MetriQ will show if the selected Folder is within Budget on the status bar of the main window.Note: Only available for FULL users (see also Staff Administrator).
Show iTime Desk tray Icon: When checked, MetriQ's iTime will show up as an hourglass in the desk tray. Left clicking the icon will open iTime. Right clicking the icon will open a popup menu.
Show MetriQ Desk tray Icon: When checked, the MetriQ button is removed from the task bar and placed into the desk tray. Left clicking the icon will restore MetriQ if minimized, while right clicking the icon will open a popup menu.
Show Time Limiter:

Check this option if you would like a reminder screen to popup after a set number of minutes. When checking or un checking this option, you will be asked for a password, the default is set to 'metriq123'.

When selecting this option, MetriQ will open an administration screen that will allow you to set:

Password, Time Limit before the screen opens, a Header text and 3 lines of sub-text.

When the reminder screen opens after the desired time limit, all other screens remain hidden until the password is re-entered.

Battle for the timesheetAt any time, use the reset button to reset the time limiter clock. This button is only visible when the Show Time Limiter option has been set, and will only re-set the time limiter timer with the correct administration password.

Show Time Review Card: When checked, MetriQ will automatically open the Time Review Card as MetriQ starts (see also Time Review Card).
Suspend Use of Dynamic Folders: MetriQ uses dynamic folders, allowing you to change your folder structure on the fly. However, in an organisation that has a number of Full Users (see also Staff Administrator), we recommend you turn this feature off to prevent accidental changes to the folder structure in MetriQ.
Suspend Use of Rename Folders: When checked, the folder rename functionality is disabled. Check to enable, and be able to rename a folder. Alternatively, use the Folder's Property Sheet to change its name.
