Settings

 
The system settings, as well as the default preferences for all users, can be changed in Settings - System. However, users can customize their view in Settings - Preferences if they are given the permissions to do so (see Security Levels, Roles and Permissions). If not, the administrator or HR can set the options by request in Security -  Users  [individual user] - tab Profile (for more details, see User Preferences).
 
Please note the settings in Preferences if saved once will take priority to those from System.
