Manage User Settings

The Manage User Settings dialog is accessed on the File menu. This option is used to control a User’s session parameters and User's interface settings (UI Settings). UI Settings include the last location visited, column widths and sort orders, chart options, and window locations. The Manage User Settings dialog contains the following tabs:

  • Session Parameters.
  • Reset Options.

Session Parameters

When a forecast is executed, the time span of the forecast is determined by Start and Stop date offsets relative to the current day. By default, these offsets are set based on the assigned Action Role (Manage Security). The Session Parameters tab can temporarily modify the forecast start and end dates for their session using the calendar controls. The following options are available on the Sessions Parameters Tab.

  • Reset forecast start/end dates to default. This link resets the session forecast start and end dates to the default setting.
  • The Generate XDriver Session Forecast. This option applies the start/end dates to the Generate XDriver Session Forecast command and does not impact other system users.
  • Generate Portfolio Session ADU Forecast. This option applies the start/end dates to the Generate Portfolio Session ADU Forecast command and does not impact other system users.

To change the dates, select new dates and the OK button. Cancel closes the dialog without saving changes.

Reset Option

The Reset Options tab also allows the user to manage User Settings. User settings provide a consistent look across user sessions. These settings affect column widths, column order, chart options, and window locations. The MetrixIDR system is delivered with a set of factory default settings. Users modify their settings whenever they change list tab configuration or move a dialog. Users may reset their own settings to either the System or Factory default.

The following Reset Options are available.

  • Startup Module. This option determines the opening Module when MetrixIDR begins. The Last Viewed options opens MetrixIDR to the last location visited by the user. The additional options opens MetrixIDR to the specified Module.
  • Factory Default. These two check boxes reset the system to Factory Default settings. The options include resetting all user settings and the system default settings.
  • System Default. These two check boxes reset the System Default systems. The options include resetting all user settings or the current user's setting.
