# Miscellaneous P4V properties

You can use the following properties to set P4V properties not related to performance or features.

Property | P4V > Edit > Preferences | Default | Meaning | Since P4V Version
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`P4V.Behavior.CheckoutWarnLimit` | Behavior > "Warn before checking out file, if the number of files exceeds ..." | 1000 | Override the end user setting. | 2023.1
`P4V.Behavior.DeleteWarnLimit` | Behavior > "Warn before marking files for delete, if the number of files exceeds ..." | 100 | Override the end user setting. | 2023.1
`P4V.Behavior.DisallowDragReparenting` | Streams > "Don't allow streams to be reparented with drag and drop in the stream graph" | `Off` | If `On`, overwrites the "Don't allow streams to be reparented with drag and drop in the stream graph" preference. | 2024.1
`P4V.Behavior.ModifiedFileIcon` | Use a distinct file icon for modified files | none | If On, P4V uses a distinct file icon for files that users edit after syncing into their workspace. | 2018.3
`P4V.Behavior.RemoveWarnLimit` | Behavior > "Warn before removing files from workspace, if the number of files exceeds ..." | 1000 | Override the end user setting. | 2023.1
`P4.DataAnalyticsPrompt` | Contribute your anonymous usage data to help us improve our products. | `On` | P4V 2015.1 inaugurated an opt-in program for collecting user data about interaction with our software. During the installation of P4V, a dialog box prompts the end-user to decide whether or not to join the program. If the user chooses not to join, Perforce gathers no information about how that end-user uses P4V. The admin can disable the prompt by setting a property on the server: p4 property -a -n P4.DataAnalyticsPrompt -v Off | 2015.1
`P4V.Help.URL` | N/A | `perforce/<version>/manuals/p4v/#p4v/` | As of P4V 2014.2, P4V launches a web browser to display general or context-sensitive help information. Admins can download those web pages in a zip archive named `p4vsuite_en-help.zip` from the Perforce filehost server. For example, the r23.2 location on the Perforce filehost is for the 2023.2 release. You can then stage the files locally. Set this property to the root path of the staged help. For detailed steps, see Staging help files locally for P4V, P4 Admin, P4 Merge. | 2014.2
