User preferences are settings specific to a user on each workstation.
The lifetime of these settings is across the user's login session; these
settings are automatically preserved when the application is closed and
restarted by that user but are not part of the system backup. You can reset the
user preferences to the system defaults by clicking
.
These settings include:
| User preference setting | System default setting |
|---|---|
| Container time interval | 1m |
| End date and time - (displayed in bottom right of timeline) | Current time |
| Event Chronicle server node | Local node, or first node in the list |
| Dark or light theme | Light |
| Characteristic Filter pane layout (size and pinned/unpinned state) | Pinned |
| Timeline Chart pane layout (size and pinned/unpinned state) | Pinned |
| Alarm List pane layout (size and pinned/unpinned state) | Pinned |
| Control Actions pane layout (size and pinned/unpinned state) | Unpinned |
| Alarm List column widths | Varies |
| Control Actions list column widths | Varies |
| Display the application opens in
When the application is closed and restarted by the same user,
it reopens on the display it was previously closed in.
Resetting the user preferences returns the application to the primary display. |
