Settings reference

Every setting in CRQ Pro, what it does, and where it applies.

Open Settings from the bottom of the left icon rail. Settings are split across two tabs.

Application tab

Device-level settings that apply to every workspace.

Setting	What it does
License	License status, masked key, Manage license, Change key, Remove (releases this device's seat). See Installation and activation.
Updates > Automatic updates	On (default): new versions install on launch. Off: you are notified and choose when to install.
Updates > Version	Shows the running version, with a Check for updates button.
Simulation > Default iterations	Trials per simulation: 10,000 / 50,000 (default) / 100,000 / 250,000. Higher is more precise but slower.
Backup > Automatic backups	Off by default. On: writes a full backup to your chosen folder on launch and daily, keeping the ten most recent.
Backup > Backup folder	The folder automatic backups are written to. Choosing a folder turns automatic backups on; point it at a synced folder for an offsite copy.
Backup > Export backup	Writes a full .cqbackup (all workspaces, components, Trash) to a location you pick, on demand.
Backup > Restore	Replaces all current data with a backup file's contents (asks you to confirm).
Currency > Default currency	The display currency (ISO 4217, USD default). Values are never converted between currencies; this is a label.
Reports > Analyst name	Shown as "Prepared by" on generated reports.

Workspace tab

Per-workspace settings, with a workspace switcher alongside so you can configure any workspace.

Setting	What it does
Currency > Display currency	Inherit the application default, or override for this workspace.
Risk appetite > Rate against	The statistic ratings are computed from: mean, P90, P95 (default), or P99.
Risk appetite > Thresholds	Dollar levels for Moderate at or above, High at or above, Critical at or above (defaults $250k / $2.5M / $25M), with a live preview scale.

See Risk appetite and ratings for guidance on choosing these.
