Tailor Tines 3B to support your unique preferences. By adjusting your user preferences, you can control default views, workspace behavior, and interaction settings. These preferences are specific to your user account and will persist across all your sessions.
To access them, go to preferences in your settings, like this:
General
Default home view
Choose the specific view you want to see immediately upon opening Tines 3B.
Recents: Recently accessed workflows (Default).
Chat: Your personal AI chat conversations.
Branches: Active workflow branches.
Favorites: Starred workflows.
Any space: Direct access to a specific space.
These settings will take effect the next time you load the app.
Tip: Set this to your most frequently used space to get straight to work.
Default space
If you start from the recents view, you can define which space new workflows are created in by default.
Note: This setting only applies to workflows created from the recents view. If you create a workflow directly within a space, it will be added to that space automatically.
Default workflow tab order
You can reorder the tabs that appear at the top of every workflow overview to match your priority tasks. Drag and drop the tab labels to rearrange them.
The first tab in your list will automatically be selected when you open a workflow. If you primarily monitor workflow health, for example, move the monitor tab to the first position.
Chat
Preferred model
Choose the AI model your chats use by default. This is a personal default, so it applies to your own chats and persists across your sessions. You can still switch models in any individual chat whenever you want.
Open the preferred model dropdown to see every model available to you:
Models managed by 3B. These appear with a "Managed by 3B" label and need no setup on your part.
Connected AI providers. Any providers your tenant has added show up here too. To learn how these get added, see <u>Connect your AI provider</u>.
The current tenant default is marked "Default" in the list. Once you pick a model, a 'use default model' option appears at the bottom of the dropdown. Select it to clear your preference and go back to the tenant default.
If no models are available to you (no Tines 3B-managed models and no connected providers), the preferred model setting won't appear.
Chat follow-up behavior
Control how Tines 3B handles incoming messages while it is already processing a task:
Queue (default): Messages are held and processed after the current task finishes. Use Cmd+Enter (⌘↵) to steer.
Steer: New messages interrupt and redirect Tines 3B immediately. Use Cmd+Enter (⌘↵) to queue instead.
Plan mode
Plan mode allows you to review proposed AI changes before they are executed. You can configure this for different areas of the app:
New chats: Review plans in personal chat conversations.
New workflows: Approve plans when creating or editing workflows.
New branches: Review changes when creating new branches.
You can always override this per-conversation using the interface controls.
Follow 3B
"Follow 3B" automatically moves your view to the step Tines 3B is actively editing.
Follow 3B by default: Activates automatically when Tines 3B starts working.
Suggest following on a new chat: Prompts you to enable Follow mode in new conversations.
Tip: You can toggle this at any time by pressing Cmd+Shift+G (⌘⇧G).
Sounds and notifications
Sound preferences
You can toggle audio feedback independently for three areas:
Chat sounds: Audio for chat messages and responses.
UI clicks: Sound effects for buttons and interactions.
Workflow sounds: Notifications for workflow events, such as runs or completions.
Browser notifications
Stay updated even when Tines 3B is in a background tab. When enabled, you will receive notifications when Tines 3B finishes a task, requires approval, or when a workflow run completes.
Appearance
Theme
Match Tines 3B to your visual preference:
System (default): Syncs with your operating system's light/dark mode.
Light: Forces light mode.
Dark: Forces dark mode.
