When viewing preferences, a list containing all of the available preferences is presented. Only preferences that have been modified by an administrator will have a value set; parameters with blank values use the factory default settings.
A preference will be used by default when a member of the selected group works in Spotfire. However, if a user has explicitly made a choice in Tools > Options of the Spotfire client, and set a local default value for a parameter, then that local setting will take precedence over the default specified on the server.
If a user wants to revert back to the defaults specified on the server, he can click the Reset button in the appropriate pane of the Options dialog in the Spotfire client. The local settings for that pane will then be cleared, and the corresponding settings specified on the server will be used.
To set preferences for a group:
Select a group from the Available groups list.
In the right hand pane, click the Preferences tab.
Response: The "Preferences" interface is displayed.
Click the Edit button next to the field.
Response: The "Edit Preferences" dialog is displayed.
Click the + or - signs to expand/collapse the different preferences, and see the parameters underneath.
Select a parameter, and edit its value in the right hand pane.
Click OK when done.
