  2. How to set favorite locations.

  3. How to reset your personalizations.

Set up auto-connect on startup

Note: You can only choose your auto-connect location if you have access to multiple Enclaves. If you only have access to a single Enclave, you will automatically connect to it by default.

Log in to the Dispel application, and click on Dispel → Preferences in the top of your screen.

The settings menu should open.

Select your desired Enclave in the drop down labeled "Connect on startup".

Now, you when you open the app, you will be automatically connected to this Enclave.

Note: This connects you to an Enclave automatically, but not a destination location yet. To set up auto-connect on startup directly to a facility, make sure to set your desired facility as a Favorite Location.

Set up Favorite Locations

In the same settings panel, select your desired favorite location in the drop downs labeled "Favorite Locations."

Press OK, and this will set your favorite location.

Alternatively, when you are connected to a location, you can press "Set favorite" to set that location as a favorite.

A star will appear next to the location name, indicating that it has been set a favorite location.

Now, when you connect to this Enclave, you will automatically be connected to this location as well.

Reset all personalizations

In the settings panel, click "Reset all settings."

Now, all of your favorites and auto-connect on starts will be set back to default.
