Characteristics of settings
Settings have the following characteristics and behavior within the application:
- Available and editable before and after the login.
- Changes done before login are applied to the next user who attempts to login.
- This goes for applying presets as well.
- After applying a preset, changes of settings are also applied.
- The settings defined are not just used by the user as new settings configuration, but are merged with the settings the user already has, and are overriding them.
- Changes after login are saved for the user currently logged in. After logout and new login, they are restored, merged with the settings changed before login if there are some and finally they get applied to the user.
- If a completely new user attempts to login without defining settings before or loading a preset, the default values of the settings as defined for the respective app are used.
PreSet actions
Load PreSets
The Load PreSet button can be used to Load Presets onto the settings.
Save PreSets
