Usually, the option of direct connection is set up, or Do not use a proxy server.

You can also chose to use the settings of a web browser such as Internet Explorer or inscribe your own settings.

The server’s gHM field should remain plain or the adviser will give specific settings for the specific account.

  • Language – this option enables you to choose a language, in which the messages of the application are presented. The following languages are available: English, Polish, Dutch and Russian.

  • Application appearance – enables you to tailor the application’s appearance to the user’s individual preferences. Besides a few available colourful versions of the interface, a “Simple” look is also available. It is characterised by much lower equipment demands and can make the work of gemiusHeatMap application on older computers better.
