Setting Up Preferences for Users

You can control the appearance, functionality, and workflow for a specific user or a group of users. You do this by setting up preference groups, and assigning specific preferences and users to each preference group. (Preference groups are different from the groups you set up in Horizon security.)

You can set up these types of preferences:

Launcher. You can add buttons to the toolbar, hide processes in the navigation bar, decide which processes launch automatically at startup, set up diacritic shortcut keys, and so forth. (For more information, see the Launcher Configuration Guide.)
MARC Editor. You can set up error checking, choose font size and text colors, determine spacing between columns, set up shortcuts, choose delimiters, and so forth. (For more information, see the “Customizing the MARC Editor” chapter of the Cataloging Guide.)

You can create, change, and delete preference groups. A preference group can apply to an entire site, to a select group of staff members, or be changed by each user. If you allow a user to change their own preferences, those changes will override all other preferences.

As part of Launcher preferences, you can set up some additional options on the navigation bar that your users generally do not set up themselves. (For example, you can add a specific Table Editor view as a process on the navigation bar and add switches to specify additional functionality.)
