User Preferences

Open

Optix allows individual users to set their own preferences for various Optix behaviors. This affects the general user interface and functionality of the application. User preferences may be updated through the User Preferences subtab. The User Preferences will be different depending on the Model that has been selected.  For the Land model, there are six preferences that can be set:

1. Default Locales - If your company has multiple locales created in Optix, select the Locales to be your default for reporting purposes.  Otherwise, choose the P2 Energy Solutions locale.

2. Disable Image Popup Flag - Select 'Yes' to disable the report images from popping up while mousing over the report names in the My Home and Reports tabs.

3. Open Property Browser Flag - OK.

4. Display Criteria in Report Headers.

5. Debug Flag - OK.

6. Hide Report links.

If a value has not been assigned to a preference the value will be **Use Corporate**. This indicates a user preference has not been assigned and instead the corporate preference will be used. The value can either be left as **Use Corporate** or a user preference can be created.

User preferences and corporate preferences may be viewed by clicking the "View the Preferences and Defaults" link.

Once the user has established their preferences they must save the changes. The Save Preferences and Defaults button will save all unsaved preferences and defaults changes.

The Clear User Preferences button will clear all of the user's preferences and reset them back to **Use Corporate**. To clear individual user preferences, the user must manually select the **Use Corporate** value. Once any user preferences have been cleared, they must be saved.

Corporate preferences can only be managed by users with Optix system administration access. Optix allows system administrators to set corporate wide preferences for various Optix behaviors.
