Setting Your Preferences

You can set preferences to control many aspects of the application, such as your profile photo and how numbers display in the application.

Note:

The preferences that you set take precedence over the preferences that your administrator has set. You can click Use Administrator's Settings to apply the system settings set by the administrator.

To set your preferences:

1. On the Home page, click Tools, and then click User Preferences.
2. Click the tabs on the left to set your preferences in the application.

   • Display: Set your preferences for how numbers are formatted, how members are displayed on the page drop-down lists, whether consolidation operators are displayed, and the date format. See Setting Your Display Preferences.
