Overview

Use the Configuration dialog box to centrally adjust the local user settings. You can define many personal settings yourself; your system administrator will perform all other settings.

If needed, ask your system administrator when certain settings need to be changed and this cannot be done via the Configuration dialog box.

Click the ELO button on the ribbon and select Configuration to call the Configuration dialog box.

Areas

The Configuration dialog box consists of the following areas:

• Display
• Color scheme
• Dialog boxes
• Keywording
• Document preview
• Quick access to functions
• Annotations
• Advanced settings
• Technical presets
• Hide functions

On the left side, you can see which areas you can make settings for. If you click the name of an area, a list with the settings of the area is opened and the current settings are displayed on the right-hand side. The current settings are displayed on the right-hand side of the dialog box.

To change a setting, first select the setting in the list on the left side and then change the setting in the display area on the right. Click OK to save the changes.

Levels concept in the configuration

There are different levels in the configuration:

• User: Settings that a user has made themselves or that an administrator has made on a user's behalf.
• Option group: Settings that an administrator has made on behalf of an option group. Members of the option group are assigned these settings.
• Global: Settings that an administrator has made for all users (the Everyone group).
• Default: The default settings in the ELO Java Client.

In the Set by column, you can see the level at which settings have been made. This column appears when you make settings for another user or group.

If the settings are configured differently at two or more levels (conflicting settings), the following hierarchy applies:

1) User: The settings for all other levels can be overridden at the User level.

2) Option group: The settings for the levels Global and Client default can be overridden at the Option group level.

3) Global: The settings for the Default level can be overridden at the Global level.

4) Default: The Default level applies if no settings have been made at any of the other levels.

Override settings

The administrator can modify and override settings at all levels.

For example, to delete the settings for a user, click the X icon in the Set by column.

Information: The user can override these settings again.

Select user: Select a user/option group via the Select user button to assign the user/option group certain settings in the configuration.

General functions

Transfer settings to other users (arrow icon): Transfer the settings you made to one or multiple users or an option group.

Save the settings of the configuration as a file (disk icon): This option saves the settings of the configuration as a file.

Load existing settings for the configuration (folder icon): Load the settings from a configuration file.

Delete settings (X icon): Click here to delete all settings you made for an option group or other users. This restores the settings to their default values.

Search configuration

You can search all options in the Configuration dialog box.

1. Place the cursor in the Search configuration field.

2. Enter a search term, e.g. "Sticky note".

3. Click the Start search button (magnifying glass icon).

The corresponding settings are displayed on the right side of the dialog box.

Delete the search term with the Reset search button. The Display area appears.
