Use the Printed report page limit parameter to set the maximum number of pages that can be included in a printed report. If the page limit is exceeded, the report will be truncated. The default value is 100. Increasing the limit may cause performance issues when printing a report.
The App language parameter is used to change the language and locale of the Insights desktop interface. If the chosen app language is also a supported documentation language, the help documentation uses the selected app language by default.
Note:
The help language pack must be installed to view offline help in a language other than English.
The help source can be set to Online help (default) or Offline help. It is recommended that you continue to use the online help unless your computer is disconnected from the internet because the online help is updated more frequently than the offline help.
Events can vary in level of detail from Error, which indicates a problem that requires immediate attention, to All, which is a detailed, informative message generated through regular use of the application. The following log levels are available:
- Error (default)—Serious problems that require immediate attention.
- Warn—Moderate problems that require attention. This level also includes Error messages.
- Info—Common administrative messages. This level also includes Error and Warn messages.

Note:
The Debug, Trace, and All log levels may decrease performance and are only recommended when troubleshooting an issue.
