Overview

In the Configuration dialog box, you can change the local user settings. You can define many personal settings yourself; your system administrator will perform all other settings.

To open the Configuration dialog box, click your user name on the ribbon and select Configuration from the user menu.

Areas

The Configuration dialog box consists of the following areas:

• Display
• Color scheme
• Dialog boxes
• Metadata
• Document preview
• Quick access to functions
• Annotations
• Advanced settings
• Technical presets
• Manage 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 opens. The current settings are displayed on the right-hand side.

To change a setting, select the setting in the list on the left-hand side and then change the setting in the area on the right. Click OK to confirm the changes.

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

Levels concept in the configuration

There are different levels in the configuration:

• User: Settings that a user has made 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 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.

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 an INI file.

Load existing settings for the configuration (folder icon): Load the settings from an INI 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.
