Set Global Preferences

Note: Only available to users with the administration privilege Admin: Manage iConsole.

Administrators can set global default preferences for all iConsole users via the Global Preferences screen. Use this screen to specify which settings users can change in their personal user preferences, and also to overwrite any settings they may have changed.

You can set global preferences for auditing events, printing events and the maximum number of events shown on each page of search results. For example, you can specify whether events are removed from a results list after they have been audited or whether reviewers are allowed to print audit summary details.

If a user has set any personal user preferences, you can only overwrite them using the 'Enforced' check boxes. For example, if you have selected Print Extended Information in the Global Preferences screen, but a user has deselected it in their personal Preferences screen, you need to select the Print Extended Information Enforced check box.

You can also use these check boxes to fix preferences so that users cannot modify them. For example, you can ensure that events are removed after they have been audited.

Note: Be aware of the following:

• All 'enforced' preferences are grayed out in the user's personal Preferences screen.
• Any changes made to global preferences are available to users the next time they log in.

For full details, see the iConsole online help for the Global Preferences screen.
