To set up program and database preferences, please click on the “Wheel” icon in the toolbar, which can be located on top of your Pagico window.

Once switched to the preference panel, from the left sidebar you can see there are actually two separate preference panels:

• Basic
  Program-wise settings, including interface language, time zone, date format, and MobileNote service, etc.
• YourDatabase.pgco
  This item is named after your database, which is the database-specific settings, including password for the database, shortcut settings, and TagExplore browser settings, etc.

In either section, all the changes are saved automatically. And that’s why there isn’t a “Save” button.

Basic (Program-Wise) Settings

In this section, in addition to the date format, interface language, and timezone settings, you can also set up the number of upcoming tasks shown in the "Task" group in the sidebar.

The other interesting parts in this section are the MobileNote feature and syncing your schedule info with your calendar application.

Database-Specific Settings

1. Real name will be used when printing topics and contact profiles.
2. Advanced task feature. Enabling this feature will allow you to specify the “Start date” of tasks in both topics and contact profiles. By default, the “Start date” will be the day when the tasks are created.
3. Password Protection protects your database with a password. To set the password, simply enter your password twice, and type “enter”. You’ll see a visual respond indicating whether the password has been accepted or not.
4. Shortcuts Setting allows you to specify which four document types are displayed in the “Add content” menu in topics. Learn more.
5. TagExplore browser setting allows you to hide specific tags from the root level of your TagExplore browser. Learn more.
