User Preferences Settings

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.
