Default User – New User Default Settings
These options determine the role and company that will be assigned to all new user created in the system. These are simply the default settings applied at the time of creation and can be modified if they do not apply to an individual user. The checkbox beside each setting is a "Force Setting" option, meaning that users will not be able to re-set this option in their System Settings.
Default User – New Company Default Settings
These options determine the category and parent company that will be assigned to all new organizations created in the system. These are simply the default settings applied at the time of creation and can be modified if they do not apply to an individual organization. The checkbox beside each setting is a "Force Setting" option, meaning that users will not be able to re-set this option in their System Settings.
Default User – UTA Specific Settings
These options determine the statuses and level 1 templates that will be pre-selected in the Search panel when the user accesses the UTA Level one list view for the first time. This ensures that users are immediately presented with information after accessing the List view, rather than having to manually select Statuses and Template types and run the search.
In the example above when the user first accesses the GMS360° - Grants UTA the Search Panel will have the Approve statuses pre-selected, while all templates will be selected. Therefore, the user would be immediately presented with all records that have the status and one of the template types.
