The Address Book, Calendar, and Mail channels each have display options that the user can set and the administrators cannot by default overwrite. After logging into the Portal Desktop, the user can change the display options for a channel by clicking the edit button in the panel for that channel. The display options are clearly marked and easily changed.
In Address Book, a display option that users can change is the Number of Entries option; in Calendar, a display option that users can change is the Display Day View option; in Mail, a display option that users can change is the Number of Headers option.
Changes made by users to the default communication channels display options take precedence. Any future changes made by administrators do not automatically take effect, and a new channel added by administrators is not automatically accessible by users.
