    The Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog box contains the following options. You can use them to control the behavior of the Simulation Job Manager:

    • Number of seconds to show a notification: This is the amount of time the Notification message window appears on the screen. You can use this parameter to increase or reduce the appearance time of the Notification message.

    • Number of seconds to delay file transfer at startup: When Simulation Job Manager is automatically started during a Windows® startup, network errors may occur if a file transfer immediately resumes. This is often due to a delay in the initialization of the relevant network drivers and connections controlled by Windows®.

      Use this value to avoid these network errors by delaying when the Simulation Job Manager starts the data transfer after it is first started.

    • Verbose logging: Enable this option to output additional details to the Support Log.

    • Show time details: Check to display the detailed time history of jobs in the Job Status tab. When unchecked, time information is presented in a single Time column.

    • Show Support Log: Click to view a record of all interactions between the local workstation and the cloud. A Technical Support representative may request this file to help troubleshoot data transfer issues in the event of a support request.

    • Reset Columns: Click this button to restore the default arrangement of the columns in the Job Status and File Transfers tabs.

    • Show in Job list: Use this list to toggle the visibility of the locally installed Autodesk® Simulation 360 products in the Job column on Job Status and File Transfers tabs.
