Settings index
This page maps every control on the MultiTaction Canvus Settings page to the mt-canvus.ini key it writes and to the place in the Configuration file reference that describes it. Use it to find a setting you saw on screen, or to script the same change for many computers.
Open the Settings page from the main menu: tap the settings icon, then Client > Configuration. The control label is the key name with spaces instead of hyphens. A control marked Restart shows "Requires Restarting to Apply" on the page. In the current version every change saved on the Configuration page takes effect after a restart; see Saving changes.

Fields that show a value you did not set
When a key is not set in mt-canvus.ini, most fields are empty and some show the value Canvus uses by default. The Backup > Root field is an exception: when backup/root is not set, it shows the data folder path rather than the backup folder. Saving the page does not write it unless you change it.
Keys with no Settings page control
These keys are set only by editing mt-canvus.ini. Each is described in the Configuration file reference.
