If you choose not to have a specific setup, the system uses system defaults for all values that display.

User Display Preferences

Description

Revising a User Display Preference record

If you are attempting to revise your User Display Preference record, you cannot have other active jobs running (interactive or batch) for the system to accept the change. Allow all batch jobs to finish and complete all other interactive jobs before making a change. If you are attempting to revise another user's record, that user cannot have active jobs running and should be signed off the system before the system accepts change.
