The software enables you to customize parts of the user interface to meet your preferences. Your personal preferences override the default preferences that are set for your role. To change your account preferences, click Setup and then My Preferences in the upper right corner of the UI.
Sign in and Start Page Preferences enable you to select any section of the Navigation pane to display as the default view each time you log in. The default is to expand the Assets section and display All Assets. For the Assets section, you can select a sub-option of assets, such as Engineered Systems, to display as the default view instead of All Assets. Another option is to display a section other than Assets, such as the Message Center or vDC Management, as the default view.
User Interface Preferences enable you to hide some sections from displaying in the Navigation pane, such as Libraries or Networks. You cannot hide the Assets and Administration sections. For the Assets section, you have the option to specify that the assets are always expanded or always collapsed and you can choose which tab to display as the default tab. For example, you might prefer to have the Summary page display as the default tab instead of the Dashboard tab. You can set values for Session Timeout, Console Session Timeout, Connectivity Check Interval, Table Refresh Frequency, and Job Status Popup Duration for Time Intervals.
Membership Graph Preferences enable you to set the display preferences for the orientation, icon size, and level of depth for the assets in Membership Graph.
Users Preferences Summary displays a summarized history of the preferences that you have selected in My Preferences. You can view your set preferences for the start page, display, time intervals, asset default tab, and Membership Graph.
