# Configuring Global Options

To configure Parallels Client for Linux global options, click **Tools** > **Options** on the main toolbar.

## **Connection**

The **Connection** tab page allows you to configure connection options:

* **When all sessions are closed**. Specifies what happens when all user sessions are closed:
  * **Do nothing**. Nothing happens.
  * **Lock workstation**. The computer is locked.
  * **Sign out from workstation**. The current user is signed out from their account.

## **Advanced Settings**

The **Advanced Settings** tab page allows you to configure advanced options:

* **Language**. Allows you to select the graphical user interface language.
* **Always on top**. With this option enabled, other applications will no longer mask the launcher.
* **Do not warn if server certificate is not verified**. When connected over SSL, and the certificate is not verified, a warning message will be displayed. You can disable this warning message by enabling this option.
* **Show folders page**. Enabling this option will show the available folders while showing the hierarchy of the application groups as configured on the server.
* **Swap mouse buttons**. Swap mouse left and right buttons.
* **Minimize to tray on close or escape**. Enable this feature to place the Parallels Client into the System Tray when you click on the **Close** button or hit escape.

The **General** tab page allows you to configure general options:

* **Logging**. The **Enable extended logging** option enables or disables logging. Click the **View Log** button to view the log. Click the **Clear Log File** button to remove the information from the file. A log file contains information about standard Parallels Client actions, including establishing a connection, connection retries, starting of applications, and some others.
