The System preferences menu (Figure 1) allows you to configure Partek® Flow® preferences. These preferences generally govern the activities of other users within the Partek Flow server. They can only be viewed and configured by Administrator accounts. The preferences are subdivided into the following sections:
Modifying preferences under the User quotas and limitations section require the User Disk Quotas enterprise license. Upon opening the system, all sections are collapsed except for Filesystem and storage (Figure 1).
To edit preferences, select the drop-down menu for the specific section you would like to modify. Information about specific preferences can be obtained by hovering over the icon next to the option. Click the icon to start editing.
Data download directory
Specifies the directory on the server to which the data files will be uploaded
Library file directory
Specifies the directory on the server to which the library files will be uploaded
Default project output directory
If Sample file directory is selected, files will be written on the same directory in which the sample files are located
If Other is selected, a directory on the server must be specified to which the project output files will be written
The user can override this setting by specifying the output directory in the project’s Data tab after at least one sample has been created
Store file-path symbolic links
If Yes is selected, Partek Flow will store new file paths with any symbolic links intact, making it easier to change where the links point. Otherwise, new paths are stored with symbolic links replaced by the directories to which they point, guaranteeing that Partek flow can uniquely identify each file and recognize when it already has information about that file. Changing the setting does not affect file paths already stored or the ability of Partek Flow to locate earlier files
Activity log retention
Number of months activity logs are kept for
Start Internal worker at Partek Flow server startup
Maximum running projects
Adjust job nice value
Show anonymous tasks on the queued tasks page
If Yes is selected, all users can view the tasks queued up on the server and tasks that are not shared with the user will appear as anonymous
Show warning when no workers are connected
If Yes is selected, a warning will be displayed when no workers are attached to the Partek Flow server
Email admins long running queued task
If Yes is selected, Partek Flow will email admins (Figure 3) if a running task has a remaining runtime longer than the specified days and adding more workers could speed up the task

Only administrators can manage library files
If Yes is selected, only administrators can import and delete library files and regular users can only view library files
Only administrators can create system-wide attributes
If Yes is selected, only administrators can create system-wide attributes within projects
Upload file size limit
Size limit for files that can be uploaded using the My computer option
Setting this to 0 removes file size limit
Default disk quota (requires enterprise license)
Sets the default size of disk quota available for all users
Disk quotas for specific users can be set in the User management page
If Set as the quota for users having none is checked, disk quotas are retroactively set for all users currently without disk quotas
Selecting None means there are no disk quotas across all users
Actions at 80% of disk quota (requires enterprise license)
Specifies the actions when user reaches 80% of their disk quota
An email can be sent to the user and/or the administrators (Figure 5)
The user can also be prevented from importing additional samples and running tasks until they clear additional space
