I've got three modes in Herman, S for standard, C for comfort, and M for manual - the latter means that it stays in whatever gear you selected even if that means bouncing off the limiter. You can also pull a paddle whilst in S or C to make a change, but it'll change up for you and will go back to changing gear itself unless you keep doing so.
It'll also (very noticeably) alter it's shifting, and how long it holds onto gears, depending on how you are using the throttle, i.e. be a bit Gary the photocopier salesman trying to make the 19:30 dogging meet up and it'll change up later and will hold onto lower gears for long time before changing.
