Custom default user settings

Alvao stores each user's personal settings, in particular:

  • The configuration of each table in terms of table views, columns, filters, sorting, etc.
  • Settings that the user can configure in the user menu - Settings command.

When logging into Alvao for the first time, the user's settings are initialized with the default settings. If you are not satisfied with the system default settings, you can define your custom default settings.

Creating custom default settings​

  1. Configure the tables to look like the desired default settings.
  2. In Administration - Users, select one of the following system users:
    • Default settings - Requesters - regular users who a not members of any service team;
    • Default settings - Service team members
  3. Use the Set profile command and select your account (or the account of the user who set the application to the desired default settings).

The new default settings will only apply to new users when they log into Alvao for the first time. Existing users who already work with Alvao will not be affected by this change.

Restoring user settings to defaults​

Users can restore the default settings at any time using the user menu - Settings - Settings backup - Restore default settings command, or the administrator can restore the setting for users manually as follows:

  1. In Administration - Users select the user whose settings you want to change.
  2. Use the Set profile command and select either the Default settings - Requesters or Default settings - Service team members user.
