The **Preferences** command is used to control the InfoWater Pro system settings and project preferences. All changes made on the **Preferences** dialog box must be applied prior to closing the dialog box. Many preferences modified through this dialog box will be reflected as the default settings on some other dialog boxes. You have the option to change those settings as desired on those dialog boxes too.

To access the **Preferences** dialog box, go to the InfoWater Pro tab > **Project ** group, and then select the Preferences > Macro (inline-media-image)

 button. The following options are available from the **Preferences** dialog box:
