Date & Time
Date Format The format for the date. Use the list window for all possible options.
Time Format The format for the time. Use the list widow for all possible options.
Time Zone Select the time zone that your venue is in. When Theatre Manager starts, it will tell the server that this is the local time zone -- and if your time is different (accounting for time zone awareness), TM will inform you of the mismatch.

If any of your workstations are located in a different timezone than the database setting, you can set a specific time zone at a specific workstation by configuring the preferences file and set it to one from the list of timezones (its rare you would ever need to do this).

Maintenance Jobs
Maintenance Jobs Maintenance Jobs are tasks performed by TM Server that can be deferred to non-peak hours.
Run Between Enter the Start Time and End Time. Maintenance jobs will only run within that time interval. The default is 1:00am to 5:00am, but you can schedule this to be 23:00 (11pm) to 3:00am or any such time as you wish. You many want to schedule to be after your late-night backup.

Batch Printing Queue

 The Printer Batch Queue allows users to setup reports to be created and printed during nonprime business hours.
Weekdays The time of day for the reports in the printer queue to start printing for Monday through Friday.
Weekends The time of day for the reports in the printer queue to start printing for Saturday and Sunday.
Warn on Quit Click to warn a 'logging off employee' if there are any reports in the Batch Printer Queue to be printed. At least one employee must remain logged on to have the reports in the queue to be printed during nonprime time hours.
