SettingDescription
Skip warnings Optional warnings do not stop the calculations, but are added as notes to the Calc Log. This setting is off by default.
Calculate only out-of-date items Existing calculation results are not replaced by new calculations unless RAM Concept detects that the existing calculations are out-of-date. This setting is on by default.
