• Windows only: user interface HTTP port
  • In Windows the application user interface is in web browser
  • The application has an embedded Web Server which interacts with your browser
  • This interactions happens thru a HTTP port
  • The default port of the application is 8480
  • If by chance your computer has already some application, which has reserved this port, you have to change the port from the TinyClerk console window, which is minimized in your Task bar
• Android only: help server port
  • The help pages are shown in web browser
  • The application has an embedded Help Web Server which interacts with your browser
  • This interactions happens thru a HTTP port

• Android only: my email adress
  • This is used in save dialog if you want to send for example a report to your email
  • This is optional, you can fill the address also in the dialog
• Csv delimiter
  • This is used when a csv file is exported or imported
  • The possible values are: ;,:|~
  • You cannot use comma, if it is your decimal point or group separator
• Windows only: cloud backup path
  • You should use some cloud service as a back up location
  • Every service that shows as a folder path is ok
  • For example Microsoft OneDrive, Google Gdrive or Dropbox
  • Create a subfolder for TinyClerk under the service and set the path here
  • Examples:
    • C:\Users\nn\OneDrive\tcbk
    • G:\My Drive\tcbk
    • C:\Users\nn\Dropbox\tcbk
  • In Android the cloud backup destination is in the cloud backup dialog
• Use login/Login password
  • If you want to control your application usage with login screen, set the login password here
  • Don't forget the password, there is no restore mechanism
  • Settings are restored only with the emergency restore
  • In 24 hours the emergency backup is renewed and also there will be the password
  • If you want to skip the login, set the password empty
  • There is no restrictions for the password
  • The password is saved encrypted in a secure way, it cannot be restored
  • If you give a wrong password at login, there is a 10s wait before you get the result
  • There is no locking mechanism, you can try as many times as you want
  • In Windows you can get the login view from the title bar symbol ⊝
• Encrypt data
  • If you set this on, all your data is encypted on disk file
  • The encryption keeps your data safe from nosy eyes, but it is not foolproof safe
  • The encryption scheme is a compromise with safety and ease of use
  • Since there is no extremely sensitive data the ease of use is weighed more
  • The encryption grows your data about 25%
  • The encryption slows down the save process, but you wouldn't probably notice it
• Device backup period in days
  • The application takes local backups periodically according to this attribute
  • Backups are saved in local disk/internal memory
  • In windows you can see the save path, if you make a local backup manually from Maintenance / Backup locally
  • In windows this path is probably under your folder C:\users\nn, which is probably already in your device backup plan
  • Be sure to have a device backup plan
  • In Android the backups are in the internal memory of the device, which backs up with the backup plan of your device
• Device backups size max in MB
  • The application keeps old local backups until their total size grows over this limit (or next case)
  • When this limit exceeds, the oldest backup is deleted
• Device backups max number
  • The application keeps old local backups until their total number grows over this limit (or previous case)
  • When this limit exceeds, the oldest backup is deleted
• Cloud backup period in days
  • The application takes backups to your cloud folder periodically according to this attribute
  • To have this in effect, the Cloud backup path must have a functioning value in Windows
  • Cloud backups have no size or number control, so you have to control these manually
  • Zero value means that the cloud backup is off
• Voucher UI
  • 0 = the old UI in v1.0.x, outgoing feature in newer versions
  • 1 = the new, current and default UI from v1.1.x or newer
