Defines various user interface settings in the Desktop Client.
Warning dialog number - Sets the number of results to find in a query before the software displays a warning. The warning dialog number must be less than the maximum query limit.
Maximum query limit - Sets the upper limit for the number of items found in a query.
The Warning dialog number and Maximum query limit settings in the Change User Preferences dialog box also apply when you right-click an object and display relationships or
relationship edges. Using these settings allows you to improve performance by limiting
the number of objects returned during an expansion.
To Do List refresh interval in minutes - Sets the number of minutes the computer waits before it refreshes the To Do List.
Default UOM - Sets the default unit of measurement that will be used to display data in the Properties and list view windows and dialog boxes that display object data. This setting allows you to select a display set, typically Imperial or Metric. If a default setting is not selected, the value appears as it was stored in the database.
Picklist item display - Specifies whether item names, descriptions, or both appear for list box values in the user interface.
Hyperlink destination - Specifies whether hyperlink target objects appear in a new window, in the tree view, or in the New Items window.
Nested reference file level - Specifies how many levels of reference files are displayed by a master document, as the files may also reference other files. For example, if a master document was uploaded with four levels of reference files and the option is set to two, only the first two levels of reference files are displayed.
When you change how many levels of nested reference files are displayed, the same
change is made to your user preferences in the Web Client.
Format type for e-mail digest - Choose the format for receiving e-mail digest messages, if applicable. Choose between HTML and text formats. Each e-mail forming part of the e-mail digest can have HTML links; these links can be turned on or off depending on this setting.
E-mail digest duration in hours - Indicates the number of hours for which you want to include notifications in each e-mail digest message. For example, if you set this value to 4, you will receive one e-mail message every 4 hours that includes notification messages for the previous 4 hours.
Notification type - Allows you to select the type of notification you prefer. Choose between Notify, which indicates that messages will appear in the List of Notifications window in the SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client; Email, which indicates that messages will be delivered to your e-mail separate from SmartPlant Foundation; or Email and Notify to receive the notifications in both formats. This option applies only to notifications sent for subscriptions.
Show all items on update references dialog - Select this option to display reference relationships of all types in the Update Reference Relationships dialog box. Files with a reference relationship of Always Fixed are displayed as inactive, while files with the reference relationships such as Always Update, Prompt Update, and Always Update Working Revisions are displayed as active or inactive depending on their reference relationships with the master document. If this option is not selected, the Update Reference Relationships dialog box is displayed only for files that do not have an up-to-date reference relationship with the master document. This option is selected by default.
Group e-mail per project - Indicates that e-mail messages included in an e-mail digest message should be grouped according to the project with which they are associated.
Show description in tree - Specifies whether the description of an item will appear after the name of the item in the tree view.
Show hidden files - Turns the display of hidden files on or off.
Force uppercase in toolbar - Indicates that text should be forced into uppercase when using Quick Find on the toolbar.
Print window - Allows you to print only the viewable area of a form.
Display internal object names - Allows you to display the internal names of objects.
This option is only useful for objects that have had their names overridden using
the Display Name system property. Only a system administrator can override an object name; thus, selecting
this option may have no effect on the object name unless a system administrator has
provided a display name that is different from the internal name of the object.
Display internal names for user interface - Allows you to display menu items by their internal names when configuring menus and forms.
Refresh automatically after right click - Specifies whether automatic refresh on right-click is enabled. If enabled, when you right-click an object, the system checks against the server to make sure it is up-to-date before you can perform any actions on the object.
Auto refresh/display To Do List - With this option enabled, your To Do List is refreshed with new tasks assigned to you each time you complete a workflow action. The system checks the server for all up-to-date workflow tasks before you can continue working.
Case sensitive quick find - Allows you to find objects in the database using case-sensitive quick finds. In a case-sensitive search, the software searches for objects that match the case of the text you type (upper case, lower case, or mixed case).
Suppress multiple views of the same object when querying across multiple query configurations – Allows you to reduce the number of duplicate objects displayed in a query when querying across multiple configurations.
