The Domain Administrator can perform the following tasks when managing preferences:
Set domain preferences — This option enables the Domain Administrator to set Smart Instrumentation preferences in the current domain. By setting domain preferences you determine which preferences can be set by individual users and which preferences become default preferences that are shared by all users and cannot be modified in Smart Instrumentation.
Set project preferences — This option enables the Domain Administrator to set Smart Instrumentation preferences in As-Built, Project Center and projects in your owner operator or EPC-Project Mode domain. By setting project preferences you determine which preferences can be set by individual users and which preferences become default preferences that are shared by all users and cannot be modified in Smart Instrumentation.
Copy project preferences — This option enables the Domain Administrator to copy preferences from one project to one or more projects at a time, within your owner operator domain or EPC-Project Mode domain. Also, you can copy the default preference settings that you have defined in the Preferences Management dialog box.
Export preferences — Use this procedure to export domain preferences (or project preferences when the domain type is Owner operator or EPC-Project Mode) to an external .dmp, .pref or .apref file.
Export Advanced Preferences (Available from S! 13.1 HF23) – Use this procedure to take the preferences of an existing advanced preferences set (Domain, Project, and so forth) and create a template for export. Before export you set which of the advanced preferences can be changed by the users and which preferences cannot (default). These preferences are exported to other domains as a .apref file.
Import preferences — Use this procedure to import preferences from an external .dmp, .pref or .apref file to the current domain or a specific project if the domain type is Owner operator or EPC-Project Mode.
