Group preferences

Introduction to group preferences

On the Group preferences tab of the Applications and User groups screens, you can set up a number of preferences for each group. You can define these preferences individually.

Platform, theme and menu

main administrator group administrator

menu Authorization > User groups > tab Group preferences > tab Platforms

For each user group, you can set a platform, theme and default menu.

Load on start up

main administrator group administrator

menu Authorization > User groups > tab Group preferences > tab Applications

Select whether an application is loaded on start up of the user interface.

Load objects on start up

main administrator group administrator

menu Authorization > User groups > tab Group preferences > tab Start objects

Start objects are screens, tasks, reports or processes that are automatically loaded during start up. Here you can add a user group's most-used screens, so users do not need to open them from the menu.

Start objects for an application will start when the application is loaded by the user interface.

Default prefilters

menu Authorization > User groups > tab Group preferences > tab Default prefilters

Here you can enable or disable specific prefilters for a user group. Authorization prefilters cannot be disabled.

Copy existing group preferences

main administrator group administrator

You can copy all the existing group preferences from one user group to another. If a preference setting already exists, this value will NOT be changed.

To copy existing group preferences:

menu Authorization > User groups > tab List

1. Select the user group(s) to which you want to copy existing preferences.

2. Execute the task Copy preferences .

3. In the Copy preferences popup, specify the tenant and user group from which you want to copy the existing preferences.

4. Click Execute.

note

If a user is a member of several groups, a conflict can arise between different preferences from the different groups, such as a different layout. In that case, the user will receive the preferences of the user group with the highest priority (a lower number means a higher priority).
