Person Preferences

Explanation

Registration details for the person currently logged on are displayed when this form is entered. Although it is possible to inquire on another user's record, the majority of people will only have the security privileges to change their own record.

The fields you can update are:

Default Server Printer - Select from the list of values. This printer is assigned by the system as a destination for any printer output when jobs are requested, unless a printer has already been nominated as part of the job definition. (A user can override the default printer assigned to output when they create a job request.)

Default Email Address - Where output destinations are not defined for a report or job, the output may be sent to this email address. This address is also used, when the Notify Requester check box has been selected, to send an email to the address advising when a report or job has completed.

Notify Requester - The check box should be selected if the user wishes to receive email notification of report and job completion.

Allow Standing Request - The check box can only be updated by a person with Administrator privileges (see SECF0062). When selected, the user is allowed to submit jobs as standing requests, as opposed to normally scheduled requests.

Use Novice Request Interface - The check box can only be updated by a person with Administrator privileges (see SECF0062). When selected, the user is able to use the Schedule As Soon As Possible function when running jobs and reports. It removes their ability to schedule jobs and reports through Job Scheduler. (refer to Reports Facilities) In addition, this check box restricts the user to viewing the jobs they have scheduled prior to this option being activated.

Novice users cannot modify another user's record and can modify all but the Allowing Standing Request and Use Novice Request Interface options on their own record.
