Working with Preference Files

You can customize the Web Analysis display and set behavior for documents by setting preferences.

  To display the User Preferences dialog box, select File, then Preferences.

Preferences are stored in the repository as a preference file. Although multiple preference files can be defined, only one can be current, or active. Multiple users can share a common active preference file, also called shared preferences.

User preference files for a user are located in a user’s Profiles folder and are named “Analyzer Preferences”; for example, Users/username/Profiles/Analyzer Preferences. When user preferences are modified, all changes are saved to this file.

An administrator can create a shared preference file that other users can select as their active preferences.

Note:

Shared preference files can be created and edited only in Web Analysis Studio.

At the top of the User Preferences dialog box, the Active Preferences controls specify the current preference file. Changing active preferences does not impact currently opened documents in the content area. Preferences are only applied to subsequently opened and created documents.

Note:

Some preferences may take effect only when documents are reloaded.
