The User Preferences component offers end users the following app display options:
•Compact View: Reduces the padding of user interface elements when enabled, allowing more information to be displayed before needing to scroll, which may better suit desktop displays.
•Measurement System: Sets the measurement units of the app to be one of the following:
•Auto (Metric/US Customary): Uses the web browser's locale settings to automatically set the units of measurement.
•Metric: Sets the app to use metric units of measurement.
•US Customary: Sets the app to use imperial units of measurement.
This setting overrides the Measurement System setting configured in Region Settings.
•Theme: Apply an overall background color scheme. From the drop-down list, select either Light or Dark, which are the themes included by default.
This setting overrides the Color Theme setting configured in Branding Settings.
The User Preferences settings include the following:
