Update Users with User Preferences Template
You can create multiple user preference templates. The Active template will be used as the default template when creating users. The other templates can be used to update ("push") preference settings to existing users (Company users and Partner users).
The Update Users process runs in the background. Depending on the number of records and projects or shells you are updating, it can take a considerable amount of time to complete. The process is complete when the End Date column in the Update History window shows the completion date.

- Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
- In the left Navigator, click Standards & Libraries > User Preference Templates. The Preference Templates log opens.
