6.7.3.2     Programsettings

 

Here you can setup the program performance. When you activate Show event row and Show blood pressure row the appropriate rows in the detail logbook are shown (or hidden if you deselect the checkboxes).

When you activate the checkbox Round times to 5 minutes the actual time will be rounded to full 5 minutes (12:00 – 12:05 – 12:10 etc.) if you have selected to update the timestamps below.

If you prefer to have the exact times (5 minutes are usually accurate enough) like for example 12:33, please deselect the checkbox.

 

Times of day will only be set, if a value is entered in a column. If there is no value, the time of day stays blank. With Always update timestamps after each tracked bg reading you can adjust how the already existing times should be handled. 

 

In this option the times of day, that are already tracked, will be adjusted to the current time of day. For example: If the time of day is 09:15 o'clock and you enter in the evening at 18:30 o'clock a value, this column will be changed to 18:30 o'clock

 

Important: All automatic adjustments of times always refer to the current day. If you change a value from the day before – the already tracked times of that day will remain the same.

 

If you select Show SiDiary within the notification area the program will not close completely but downsizes it to an icon in the systray (see screenshot below):

 

 

You can use the option Protect program by password, if you want to generate a password to open the program (in case your PC is used by different persons and you do not want others to have access to your program). To enter a password, please click on the button with the three points and the following screen will open: 

 

 

You have to enter your password twice to avoid typing errors. By clicking OK your password will be saved. Please notice, that your entered password will not be shown as characters but as stars (so nobody can see your password on the screen, while you are typing). With the option Apply program password to new patients all your new patients and their data are protected by the password too.
