From Jomres v4 manual

   Misc tab
   Is this a single property installation? If this option is set to Yes, then the frontend view of Jomres to non-authorised users is greatly simplified. Default calls to Jomres from a menu option, instead of being given a list of properties, just takes the guest to the booking form for the first property in the system. Property managers also will not see see the Property Details preview button or the Add new property button. Ideal if you only want to list one property and take bookings for it.
2. Output Jomres javascript headers into the body of the html? Set this to Yes if you are having problems with mootools and Jomres's jQuery conflicting in IE. This will force Jomres to output the javascript calls within the body of the page instead of the HEAD area, which isn't valid html, however it seems to resolve the probems with jquery and mootools conflicting with each other.
3. Use global currency? Force all properties to use the same currency code. The following options Global currency symbol and Currency code are used if this option is to to Yes.
4. Show the language selection dropdown? If set to Yes, then a language dropdown will be displayed in the frontend. This is not related to if you have Joomfish installed or not.
5. Use Jomres messaging. Many manager updates provide feedback in the form of a javascript message when the page is reloaded, use this option to enable/disable that feature.
6. Use subscription handling functionality. If you want to offer subscription, then set this to Yes. 3 new buttons (Active Subscriptions and Subscription Packages) will show up in your jomres admin contol panel.
7. Create new user on booking? Set this to yes if you want jomres to automatically created a CMS registered user when a booking is made.
8. Show Managers's options as images? The receptionist and manager's menus are normally displayed as images. Switching this to No changes the output of the menubar to text instead.
9. Google maps API key. Jomres includes code to integrate with the Google Maps API. "'Geocoding' is the process of converting an address into a set of latitude/longitude coordinates, making it possible to indicate addresses on a map." and Jomres makes use of this functionality to generate a Google Map to your property in the View Property page. It does this by passing the address details stored for your property, so if the map is not generated check that Google is able to locate that address. The frontend property administration page also allows for input of Latitude and Longtitude settings, so if the manager's property cannot be located via geocoding then you can enter those settings instead, but in my personal experience I've found the geocoding to be more accurate so if you can use that, do so.
10. Minimise configuration options. This option allows you to reduce the number of options available in the Property Configuration options. You may want to use this if your Property Managers are inclined to feel overwhelmed by too many options, or the Property Configuration page loads too slowly for you. This functionality has been constantly improved in later versions to offer a non-Super Property Manager type user only the bare minimum of configuration options to perform their duties (IE make it nice and simple for them).
11. Use SSL in booking form? You need to ensure that you have a valid SSL certificate for your website.
12. Use the Jomres caching feature? Set this to No to disable the Jomres caching feature. If you use caching, you will probably notice a slight speed increase on Jomres pages.
13. Default Commission rate. The rate that's automatically applied to a new property on property creation.
14. Global editing mode? - Default No. Until you understand how the Editing Mode works I recommend that you leave this switched off. Property Managers can use the editing mode to modify text of their current, active property. This allows every property to have specific custom text, if required. By switching this to on, when a Super Property Manager uses the Editing Mode on a property the text for that field for ALL properties will be changed to whatever they rename it to. More informaton on editing mode can be found here and here.
15. Allow users to edit using html editors? This option allows managers to input some of their data using html editors. You can choose to allow these editors to display or not. Also make sure you understand the security implication that allowing HTML input has.
16. Users can register their properties? - It is possible to install a module that allows users to register their own properties on the server. This switch enables or disables the associated functionality.
17. Calendar output format - If it is required that the system output a date but a property isn't actually being viewed (e.g. your are not on the view property/booking form for a given property) then this variable is available to enable the output configuration of a date. It isn't currently used by Jomres but the option is available to modules if they require it.
18. Send Contact Owner emails to Alternative address? Set this option to Yes if you want Contact Owner emails to be sent to the below input. Leave it set to No to send the emails to the email address defined in the property configuration area. Following is the field where you can set up the alternative email address.
19. Use Jomres email address checker? Enforces a stricter check on emails sent. Some secure web servers will throw a 500 internal error if you try to send an email to a non-existent email address. Switching this on allows us to use checkdnsrr features of php before attempting to send an email, preventing these 500 errors.
20. Component wrapped - Sets the index.php file to index2.php instead. Jomres will run without all other CMS modules, template, etc.
21. List minicomponent calls - Switch this to Yes to see a log of the minicomponents called at the bottom of the page after Jomres has completed running. It also disables the internal redirect function. This is useful if you are trying to identify which minicomponents are performing certain services.
22. Email error log messages? Set this to Yes if you want to copy jomres.net automatically when an error log message is created. This allows us to be proactive in our approach to dealing with potential problems, hopefully resolving any issues before you are even aware of them. Note, this feature is disabled on 'localhost'.
23. Dump template vars? This is a debugging feature and most not be set to yes on a live website. Set this to Yes to enable a DHTML dump of template variables for each FRONTEND template file as that page is viewed. Useful if you want to see if a certain element is available to be used in a given template.
