This section describes how to add or change a client or slot option, also known as a flag or a switch, such as forceasm or advmethods. This procedure assumes expert knowledge of the V7 Folding@home software, and familiarity with the list of the v6 to V7 flag changes.
The recommended procedure for adding or changing a client or slot option is through the FAHControl interface. Options can be set globally (for all slots) or set locally (for each slot). For example, all slots can fold for one specific team number, or each slot can fold for a different team number. Local (per slot) settings are configured on the Slots tab. Global (all slot) options are configured on the Expert tab. And many options work as either a local setting, or a global setting. As example, the client-type option with a value of advanced can be set for one slot, or all slots. But please be careful not to set both, as the resulting behavior may be unwanted.
Note: Options can be added manually by editing the FAHClient configuration file. However, this is risky as incorrect settings or typing mistakes may cause the current work unit to abort, the client to crash, or future points to be credited to someone other than you.
