Set Default Formats for Your System

You can save system-wide default column formats when you have appropriate privileges. When you save a system-wide default, it provides users with a more consistent experience and saves them time when working with analyses.

For example, you might set Times New Roman as the system-wide default for text columns.

A best practice is to change the default value rather than overriding the default with specific values.

1. Open an analysis for editing.
2. In the Selected Columns pane, click Options beside the column name, and then select Column Properties.
3. In the Column Properties dialog, specify how you want columns to be formatted by default.
4. Click Save as Default.
5. Click OK.
