About User Preferences

Your user preferences control the behavior and appearance of the Siebel application. The user preferences that you set apply to the user interface for only your session, and not to user interface for the sessions of other users. Your user preferences are stored in a Siebel repository patch file (SPF), and not in a table. This file has an extension of .spf. Each user for a Siebel application has a .spf file for that Siebel application.

Your access to the functionality in the User Preferences screen depends on how your Siebel application is configured. For more information, contact your Siebel administrator.

Some user preferences settings might not take effect until you log out, and then log back in to the Siebel application.
