User preferences in the web client

Similar to the Windows client Windows client, you can set a variety of display and operational preferences in the web client.

Note: The user preference options in the web client are limited compared to the Windows client.

To configure the user preferences in the web client, select View > User Preferences. To see the effects of your settings on forms that are open, close the forms and reopen them.

This table shows the descriptions of the available user preference settings in the web client:


Settings	Description
Behavior	These are the settings that control how the system behaves.
Layout	These are the settings that control how the user interface appears in Runtime Mode.
Event System	These are settings that control how often the system checks for new messages in your Inbox, whether and how you are notified of new messages, and how the system displays unread messages in the Inbox. There are also settings that determine how you interact with certain Application Event System forms.
Diagnostics	These are settings that control how the system works when you are trying to diagnose problems and bugs while designing and modifying forms. You need these only if you are actively involved in creating and modifying forms in the system. Caution: Configure diagnostics only if Infor Support has instructed you to do so, or if you are debugging a form under development. Use these settings to specify what information is recorded in the session log.
