Set General Preferences for All Users

Use the Global Admin Preferences page to set general preferences, such as language, currency, and time zone for all users.

Use the Set User General Preferences task only if you want to update preferences for all users. Your users can still set preferences for themselves using the settings in the General Preferences section on the Preferences page. Once you set the general preferences for all users, if specific users don't change their preferences, the choices you have set for all users will apply to them. You can also set the default value formats for date, time, and number in regional preferences for all users.

To set general preferences, do these steps:

1. Click Navigator > My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance.

2. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Set User General Preferences task in the Application Extensions functional area.

3. Set the required general preferences for your users.

   Note: You can also set the value formats for regional preferences, such as date, time, and number for your users using profile options.

4. If you only want to set the preferences for new users whose preferences haven't been set by them yet, select the Reset preferences for new users only check box. Selecting this option excludes all users whose preferences were set at some point in time.

5. Click Save.
