User Characteristics

This product gathers the values for the user parameters in the following order:

  1. At the system level, the product gets the system default values from the SMRT and STXT tables. These values apply to all users.
  2. At the profile level, the product gets the profile default values from whatever profiles are assigned to the user. If more than one profile is assigned to the user, values from the first appropriate profile are used. Some values are defined at both the system level and profile level. If a profile value is different than the system value, the profile value overrides the system value.
  3. At the user level, the product gets the user values assigned to the user by a user administrator or by the user during self-maintenance. If a user value is different than a value set at the profile or system level, the user value overrides the other values.
