User Defaults

User defaults are a set of options to drive default choices for numerous features for Pro users across the application. As such, it is not relevant for Viewers.

 

The settings can are initially defined administratively and then applied to a specific tenant which will then govern the user experience for all Pro users within that tenant. Then, this can in turn be customized by each user for themselves in their own personal session.

Click the "Add User Default" button to add a new definition.
