User Defaults

User defaults are a set of options to drive the basic user experience for Pro users. These can be set administratively and then customized by each user for themselves.

Setting Defaults

To open the User Defaults panel, click the User Settings button (red highlight below) from the home menu on the home page. This will open the System Info panel; switch to the User Defaults view.

Default Options

  • Presentation Launcher: sets how dashboards should load up from the content explorer:
    • Slides View Mode: clicking on a presentation will show a preview of all its slides; open the presentation in edit mode, or click on a slide to open the presentation in runtime from the selected slide.
    • Direct: clicking on a presentation will open it in runtime from the first slide.
  • Content View: sets which view of the content manager to start with when a user first accesses the content system.
