Application settings
Open the home page and click Settings. Most settings belong to this browser: they are stored in the browser and apply to every project opened in it. The port settings and Concurrent projects belong to the server and are shown only while root is signed in (see First start). Without root, Settings shows only the personal settings of this browser and About.

Data & Backup
Export All Projects and Import Project move the screen data of projects as a .scada.json file; see
Export and import project data. They are not a backup.
Ports
The ports of this YTCC installation. Changes apply after the YTCC service is restarted in Services. When the port of the interface or the gateway changes, open the interface at the new address afterwards. See Port table.
Projects and ports
The projects of this version from config/projects.toml: start each project with the stack (Autostart) and give a
project its own ports. A project with its own ports runs with its own message bus and gateway; a project without ports
uses the shared ones of the version. Project ports apply when the project is restarted. A port also used by another
YTCC version is shown as a warning.
Only one project runs on the computer at a time, also when projects have their own ports. There is no setting for this; see One project per computer. When several projects are marked Autostart, only the first that can start is started with the stack.
YTCC installations on this computer
A read-only table of the YTCC version lines registered on this computer, with the columns Version line, Version / folder and State. The row of the installation you are using is marked this installation. State is stopped, or running — the project on this computer runs in this version for the line that runs the project. With only one installation, the section says No other YTCC version on this computer. Only lines registered by the setup program are listed; see Install versions side by side.
Keyboard Shortcuts
The list of shortcuts of the screen editor, the test run and the configuration table; the complete list is in Keyboard shortcuts.
About
The same About content opens in the screen editor (the About button ? in the toolbar), on the runtime screen (in the Settings menu) and in the configuration editor. It shows the Product version, the Installation, the Licence status, the Components (User interface, API gateway, Process manager, Project server), the Contracts, and under Client the Host, the Browser and the Time zone. Copy information copies all of it as plain text, for example for a support request. See Compatibility and contract versions. Reset Settings at the bottom of the tab returns the browser settings to their defaults after a confirmation.
Good to know
- The browser settings are not shared: another browser or another computer has its own.
