General settings — is a screen, where you can set up the most common behavior of the whole OptimusFLOW application. It is logically grouped into several tabs:

The most settings are applied automatically, once you change them, but, in some cases, you will be prompted to confirm the changes apply; this action is required for complex settings, where the one change will influence a complex logic.

General settings are backed up automatically every 5 minutes by default and you can control this behavior in the General tab.
