Time Format

Choose from a format option to set the way that Workbench time values are displayed by default.

Unit Conversion

Choosing the English or Metric option converts values that are displayed in Workbench to the chosen unit type. Selecting None leaves units in the state that is assigned at the point facet.

AutoLogoff Enabled

Setting this parameter to True will activate the AutoLogoff feature. When activated, the AutoLogoff feature will automatically log off a user from a platform when there is no activity detected in Workbench for the period specified in the AutoLogoff Period field. Setting this parameter to False will disable the AutoLogoff feature.

AutoLogoff Period

Time until Workbench logs off a user when AutoLogoffEnable is set to True.

Prompt For Name On Insert

When set to True, Workbench will display a Name dialog box, when a new item is added to the workspace.

Font Size

Choose between Normal and Large font options for Workbench display.

Active Theme

Choose between Frost, Lucid or Palladium “built-in” theme options for Workbench display. See About Workbench themes.

Allow User Credential Caching

(AX-3.7 and later) If set to true (default), Workbench client access of a host (platform) or station allows a checkbox option to “Remember these credentials” in the popup Authentication dialog. If selected, the connection credentials are then cached and available in the Workbench “Credentials Manager” (Tools->ManageCredentials).

This is a “convenience” mechanism. However, for best security it is recommended to globally disable user credential caching by setting this property to false. This way that option is unavailable in the Authentication dialog. For related details, see Manage Credentials.

Locale

(AX-3.8 only) Specifies the locale used by the Workbench VM, typically with a two-digit (ISO 639) code. Formerly, the Workbench locale had to be specified in the !lib/system.properties file.
