Additional Interface Settings
1 - Show Under The Hood
When checked (not checked by default), shows the Under the Hood Screen Tab (but requires a password). This allows access to some of the internal settings of PlanSwift; although you may need to make changes here, we recommend against using Under The Hood.
The Show Under The Hood Screen displays the UTH (Under-The-Hood) tab after a password is entered. Going "Under-The-Hood" allows the programmer to link to PlanSwift software to develop applications that work with PlanSwift. Under-The-Hood provides a programmer the capability to link to PlanSwift software to develop applications that work with PlanSwift. This tab is used for accessing the Application Programming Interface (API) and is for developers only. PlanSwift's technical support team does not support going under-the-hood. You are on your own! Additional API information is available in Related Articles. We recommend that you backup all your data before venturing into the API.
You will need a password from Technical Support to access the UTH function.
