Configuring System Preferences

Use preferences to make settings that affect the entire system. System preferences fall into two categories: those that exist only at the system level, and those that can be overridden for individual sites or users.  

CAUTION: If a user is logged in to PowerScribe 360 | Reporting , the changes you make in the Administrator Portal to his or her account preferences do not take effect immediately. (You see a message indicating this.) The user must log in again to have the new account preferences reloaded, and must restart PowerScribe 360 | Reporting to have the new system and site preferences reloaded. If you change a system preference and you want the change to be reflected immediately in one or more user accounts, you must modify the preference in each user account (or the user must modify her own preference in the client application).
