Hiding User Preferences

The applications for the Offline Client for Life Sciences have a number of user preferences which a user can set from within the application in the Settings window. You can configure the user preferences not to be displayed in the Settings windows if you want to set all preferences to their default setting. This setting prevents users from changing the preferences.

To hide user preferences

1. Open the userpreferences.xml file, for example, from the location shown in the following table.

   Product	userpreferences.xml File Location
   Siebel CRM	CONFIG_PROJECTS_OP\appcfg_sync_80x\src\config

2. Find the user preference entry that you want to change.
3. Verify that the value attribute is set to the correct default preference value.
4. Change the hide attribute value to True.
5. Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 for the other user preferences in the file.
6. Save the userpreferences.xml file.
7. Rebuild the Sync, Sales, and Asset Message Planner applications.
