3. From Preferences, specify options for the following

   • Application Settings: Manage email options, specify alias settings, set options for approvals, and specify out of office settings.

     Note:

     Changes to the alias table require you to disconnect from the provider, and reconnect to take effect.

   • Display Settings: Set number formatting, remember selected page members, allow a search if the number of pages exceeds a number you specify, set member indentation, use consolidation operators, perform partial grid fetch, specify number of members on each Dimensions Page, display specified record on each Assign Access Page, set date formatting.

Note:

User preferences for locale, date format, and decimal/numeric format set on forms from within the web application are not honored on forms in Oracle Smart View for Office.

You may specify a decimal/numeric format for forms in Smart View in the Options dialog, Formatting tab by enabling the Use Thousands Separator option, and setting the Scale and Decimal Places options. For more information, see Formatting Options.
