The settings menu is used to setup and review settings that have been set for your current Project. You can also specify default settings for new Projects that are created.

Most of these settings are stored in a file named MSurvey.ini which can be found in the ...\MicroSurvey\FieldGenius\Programs\ (Windows CE/Mobile) or ...\ProgramData\MicroSurvey\FieldGenius\12\ (Windows Tablet/PC) directory. It is recommended that once you have defined your settings, that you make a backup of this MSurvey.ini file.
