Default User Prefs

File Maintenance Help for NextGen® Enterprise 8

Assigning User Preferences to Users and Groups

When you apply a Default User Prefs master file at either the user or group level, they overwrite any previous settings. For example: If a user is in Group A and in Group B and you apply a Default User Prefs master file first to Group A and then apply a different Default User Prefs master file to Group B, the user will have the preferences applied to Group B. If individual users have already set up their User Preferences in NextGen® Enterprise PM, their settings are overwritten when you apply a Default User Prefs master file. Applying the Default User Prefs master file only resets the preferences until the next time preference changes are saved. The settings are not retained, therefore, a user can change the default preferences in NextGen® Enterprise PM and the user-saved preferences will be saved. If necessary, you can modify the rights to prevent users from changing the User Preferences in NextGen® Enterprise PM. Assign User Preferences to Users and Groups Parent topic: Default User
