Auto Update Ontologies
True False
Timer (sec) t = 0 Will auto update without prompting. (Default) Will never update and will not notify you if there are updates.
t > 0 Will notify you if an updated file is available and wait t seconds for answer, then will auto update. Will notify you if an updated file is available and wait t seconds for answer, then will bypass update.

 

If you don't include these items in the configuration, the default is to automatically update from a repository without asking your permission.
