Actions on configuration

Edit your Personal configuration

Every time you change any of these elements, you are customizing and saving your Personal configuration. You do not need to enter any special editing mode nor do you need save or update your Personal configuration to enable your changes.

• Dashboard items
• Widgets
• Lists (columns, order of columns, sorting)
• Tabs
• Panes
• Fields and drop-down lists
• Case, document and contact detail pages
• Ribbons

You can reset your Personal configuration, removing all your changes and restoring the standard configuration for use.

Your filter settings and stored default values are saved as well, but not in your Personal configuration.

Reset your Personal configuration

You can reset your Personal configuration. If there are no changes to your Personal configuration, the organizational configuration will be applied.

Import a Personal and/or Private configuration

1. In the ribbon, click Settings > Import /Export > Import from file to open the Import user configuration to file form
2. In the Import user configuration to file form > Select file field, navigate to and select the JSON export file you want to import.

1. In the ribbon, click Settings > View configuration to open the Effective configuration form
2. The Effective configuration form only displays configurations that contain customizations which affect you. Customized configurations that affect other users or units are not displayed.
