The user book or custom book that you see by default in the Book selector at the start of your session in Oracle CRM On Demand. The default book applies to the Book selector in all areas of Oracle CRM On Demand other than the Analytics pages. The setting in the Default Book field does not limit your access to records. You can select a different book in the Book selector.
You can change your default book. You can select any book to which you have visibility, that is, you can select any book of which you are a member, or any subbook of a book of which you are a member. However, to select a custom book as your default book, your user role must allow you to access the Book record type. That is, the Has Access check box must be selected for the Book record type on your user role.
NOTE: Your administrator can specify a default book for each record type for you. If a default book is specified for a record type for you, then in the Book selector, the default book for the record type takes precedence over the default book that is specified in the Default Book field on your personal profile.

- If this check box is selected, then the Book selector shows the book that is selected in the Default Book field in your user profile each time that you open any page or window where the Book selector is available. You can select a different book in the Book selector in any page or window. However, the next time that you revisit that page or window, or you open any other page or window where the Book selector is available, you see the default book in the Book selector. Your earlier selection in the Book selector is lost.
- If this check box is not selected, then the Book selector shows the book that is selected in the Default Book field in your user profile until you select a different book in the Book selector. After you select a different book in the Book selector, you continue to see the new book in the Book selector for that record type until you sign out and sign in again.

|
Navigate Directly to Detail Page If Only One Record Is Returned
|
This picklist allows you to enable or disable the feature that opens a record returned by a search directly in the record Detail page, if it is the only record returned by the search. This setting is blank by default. The following options are available:
- Enabled. If a search returns only one record, then the record opens directly in the record Detail page.
- Disabled. The results of a search are always shown in a List page, even if the search returns only one record.
If this setting is blank in your user profile, then the setting at company level is used, and if the setting is blank at company level as well, then the feature is disabled for you.
NOTE: This setting applies to searches that you perform in the Action bar, and to advanced searches of single record types from the Advanced link in the Action bar only. It does not apply to searches from the Advanced link in a list of related records, or to searches from the Advanced link in Lookup windows, or to searches of multiple record types.

This check box allows you to specify whether the Oracle CRM On Demand Welcome Page is displayed when you sign in to the application.

Depending on the setting you select, the preview window opens when you hover your pointer over a link to a record, or when you click on a preview icon that appears when you hover your pointer over a link to a record. The preview window shows the first section of the Detail page of the record. You also have the option of disabling the record preview functionality by selecting Off in this field.
The record preview setting can be specified at company level by your company administrator, and by each user. Your personal setting overrides the setting for the company. If this field is blank, the record preview setting for the company is used.

Head-up Display
|
If the head-up display functionality is turned on, and if the Support Head-up Display Settings check box is selected on your theme, then links to the related information sections of the page (such as linked records sections) are available in the head-up display at the bottom of your browser window. You can click the links to go to the related information sections without having to scroll down the page. You can collapse the head-up display by clicking the minus icon (-) in the display; to expand the display again, click the plus icon (+). Your expand or collapse setting in the head-up display is maintained for all record types until you change it again, even if you sign out of the application and sign in again.
You can remove the head-up display completely from your Detail pages, by turning off the functionality in your personal profile.
NOTE: If your theme supports the head-up display functionality, then the head-up display functionality can be turned on or off at company level, and by each individual user. Also, your personal setting overrides the company setting. Your administrator can remove the head-up display completely by deselecting the Support Head-up Display Settings check box on your theme. The colors in the head-up display are determined by the theme you are using. For more information about choosing a theme, see Setting Your Theme.
