About Preferences

There are two kinds of preferences:

Application preferences, such as the following that apply to entire applications:
- Measure and target result collection (if not specified during measure creation)
- Calculation settings that determine how calculations are performed if values are unavailable
- Calendar preferences, such as the day on which the fiscal year begins
These changes do not override personal preferences specified by other users. See Applying Application Preferences.
Personal preferences that govern some display settings such as date formats, how measure confidence is indicated, and the tab on which Performance Scorecard opens. See Applying Personal Preferences.
