A.3 Preferences Page

The Preferences page is used to set various aspects of the Imaging interface. It is accessed by clicking Preferences in the global links region of the Home page. In addition to information unique to you, such as preferred user interface skin, you can also control aspects of the user interface. When you open the Preferences page, it is displayed over the previous page. Closing the Preferences page uncovers the Home Page if you have not executed a search, or search tabs, if you have. This way you can access the Preferences page at any time without navigating away from your current search results.

The Preferences page is divided into three main sections: the Security Information Section, Personal Settings Section and the Viewer Settings Section.
