General Settings

On the General Settings page, you will see:

Inherit From Master Server Button:

This checkbox allows the sub-server to inherit settings from the master server. Enabling it will replace the current settings on the sub-server with those from the master server.

Master Server Input Box:

Here, you can view your master server and select or change it using the dropdown menu (combobox).

Install Path:

Here, you can view the installation path of the NextClaimer program.

Modifications Path Interval:

This setting determines how often the application checks for updates in rules, signatures, or configurations. The interval is measured in minutes, and the system automatically scans for changes at the specified frequency.

• Example: If set to 1 minute, the application checks for updates every minute and applies detected changes.

• This allows for detecting and immediately applying changes made on the master server or locally.

• A shorter interval provides faster updates but uses more system resources, whereas a longer interval reduces resource usage but may delay updates.

Cache Interval Time:

• Example: If set to 30 minutes, the application refreshes its cache every 30 minutes and provides updated data.

• Caching improves performance by reducing frequent data retrieval but may delay updates due to old cached values.

• A shorter cache interval ensures more frequent updates but increases system resource usage, whereas a longer interval reduces resource consumption but delays updates.

This setting determines how often the application refreshes cached data. The interval is measured in minutes, and the system clears the cache and reloads the data at the specified frequency.

Is Performance Active Button:

This setting enables or disables performance mode for email processing. When enabled, the application optimizes its processes to improve efficiency and speed.

When Enabled (Checked):

• The system may reduce processing delays and prioritize performance.

• It can optimize email rule execution and signature application for faster processing.

When Disabled (Unchecked):

• The application operates in default mode, prioritizing accuracy or detailed processing over speed.

Enabling performance mode can be beneficial in high-traffic email environments where efficiency is critical. However, some advanced processing features may be limited in this mode.

Settings Version:

Server Info (Master or Slave)

This section indicates whether the current server is operating as a Master Server or a Slave Server.

'This is Master Server' (Green Text):

• The current server is the Master Server and holds the main configuration settings.

• Any changes made on this server will be applied to all connected Slave Servers.

'This is Not the Master Server. Your settings will be overwritten.' (Orange Text)

• The current server is a Slave Server and does not store independent settings.

• Any configurations on this server will be overwritten by settings from the Master Server.

• To ensure changes are effective across all connected servers, they must be made on the Master Server.

ReDiscover Servers Button:

The ReDiscover Servers button forces the system to rescan and detect available servers. This function is useful in the following situations:

• A new Master Server or Slave Server is added to the network.

• Changes have been made to the server configuration, and updates need to be applied.

• The system experiences connectivity issues and needs to refresh the server list.

Clicking this button prompts the application to rescan all connected servers and update the server information.

Access Test Button:

The Access Test button checks the connectivity and accessibility of the configured server. This is useful for:

• Verifying if the application can successfully connect to the Master Server or Slave Server.

• Diagnosing network or permission-related issues.

• Ensuring the server is accessible before applying configurations.

Clicking this button runs a test to confirm that the server is accessible and responsive.

Sync Now! Button:

The Sync Now! button manually initiates a synchronization process between the Master Server and Slave Servers. This function is useful in the following scenarios:

• To immediately update all settings, rules, and configurations.

• To start synchronization on demand instead of waiting for the scheduled interval.

• To verify that the latest changes are applied across all connected servers.

Clicking this button starts an immediate synchronization process to keep all servers updated.

Clear Cache Button:

The Clear Cache button removes stored temporary data from the system. This function is useful for:

• Refreshing stored configurations to ensure the latest changes are applied.

• Resolving issues caused by old or corrupted cache data.

• Freeing up memory used by cache data to improve performance.
