Go to the preference you want to update

  1. Click the icon Preferences button in the Navigator.

  2. Select the required preference group in the list box at the top.

  3. Select the required preference from the Preferences list.

    The settings already defined for this preference are displayed in the Active settings field. If this field is empty, it may be because the options to show different levels are not checked.

Tip

Use the Freetext search field at the top of the screen to find the preference you want to change. The search results will be displayed in the list below.

Add preference settings

  1. Go to the preference you want to add a new setting for.

  2. Click the Add button at the bottom of the window.

  3. In the Setting dialog under This setting will apply to, choose which level the setting will apply to – the whole system, one database, one user group or an individual user.

    Note

    If any of the options are disabled, this setting cannot be applied to them.

  4. Choose the name of the required database, group or user, depending on the option you selected above.

    Note

    If you selected System, the Target field is filled in automatically as there is only one system.

  5. The name of the field below Value varies depending on the preference involved. Specify the value for the setting by typing into this field, choosing from a predefined list, making a selection in a selection box, and so on, depending on the type of preference.

  6. If you chose a higher level than the lowest possible one under This setting will apply to, you can check Remove preferences on lower levels at the bottom of the dialog to remove the settings for this preference on all lower levels. The new setting will override the settings specified for lower levels.
