Automatic Confirmation

Automatically Dismissing a Confirmation Dialog

When a confirmation message is displayed, you can choose to remember your response and never display the message again.

Check the 'Do not show this again' box at the bottom of the dialog before responding. In future, the same response will be used automatically without displaying the confirmation dialog.

Switching off Automatic Confirmation on a Dialog

You can easily switch off automatic confirmation on a single dialog, or on all dialogs.

1. Select 'Configure > Automatic Confirmation...' to display the Automatic Confirmation Management Dialog. The dialog lists confirmation messages that have stored responses.
2. Select the entry that you want to disable automatic confirmation.
3. Click on the 'Delete' button.

Configuring Outgoing Email Server

If you wish to receive notifications by email you will need to provide information about your outgoing (SMTP) email server. This is similar to configuring the SMTP side of any email client.

1. To configure your SMTP email server select 'Configure > Outgoing Email Server' to display the 'Configure SMTP Dialog'.
2. Enter your SMTP server address and port number in the boxes provided.
3. If your server requires authentication, tick the box and fill in the necessary details.
4. In the Sender portion of the dialog enter the Name and Email that you want to be associated notification emails.

NOTE: In an attempt to reduce spam and virus attacks, many SMTP servers will block emails that have an obviously invalid sender email address. It is recommended that you test the server configuration by sending a test email from EventMeister - press the button marked "Test Message" to do so.

Defining Hotkey to Toggle EventMeister to/from the System Tray

You can define a hotkey to toggle EventMeister to/from the System Tray.

1. To display the Configure Hotkey dialog select 'Configure > Hotkey...' from the main menu.
   

   OR
   

   Use the keyboard shortcut ALT + C + H

2. Check the 'Use Hotkey' box

3. Click on the 'Change...' button and enter the hotkey combination that you want to use.

Run at Startup

You can configure EventMeister to run automatically when you start your computer.

Toggle the status of the 'Configure > Run at Startup' menu option by clicking on it.

If a tick is displayed beside the menu option this feature is switched on.

Force 24hr Time Format

For some displays and reports EventMeister follows the prevailing regional settings when displaying times. If you wish to force all times to be displayed in 24hr format, tick this option.
