This section of the document describes all Company and User Preferences.
These preferences are values that affect the appearance and behavior of the
8MS User Interface.
Preferences cover three general areas: look and behavior of individual screens,
common features across all screens, and system performance.
Preferences may be one of three types:
-
Company Preferences are those preferences that affect all users
within a company. These preferences are set via the
Company Prefs
screen.
-
User Preferences are those preferences that affect a single
user within a company. These preferences are set via the
User Prefs
screen.
-
User/Company Preferences are those preferences that can be
set for all users within a company but may then be overridden
by each individual user. The company preference is set via the
Company Prefs
screen while the user preference us set via the
User Prefs
screen.
Note that most User and Company preferences have a system-wide default
value. If you have not specified a value for any of these preferences,
they will contain the system-wide default value.
Also note that in the descriptions below, the preferences do not list
their type (i.e., User, Company, or User/Company).
This is because each 8MS platform may define each
preference as a different type. The User Prefs and Company Prefs
screens provide a drop-down list of available preferences. This will
determine the type of each preference. If you are unsure about a particular
preference, please contact the 8MS Support Team.
Finally, it should be noted that the Company Preference screen
is not available for companies on a Service Bureau platform since it is
possible for one company to negatively impact system performance
for other companies. If you are on a Service Bureau platform, contact
the 8MS Support Team and they will make any desired configuration changes.
The following individual screens may be customized:
EditPlan,
the Complex Routing Editor, has it's own preferences screen. Refer to
EditPlan Preferences
for the details on this screen.
Some preferences affect behavior across all screens.
Additionally, the 8MS menu has a Favorites feature that allows you to
toggle your menu view between all available menu items and
your favorite items.
The following common features may be customized.
The following system processes are customizable via company preferences.
Customizing these processes may affect system performance.

When you log in to 8MS, a menu is shown on the left side of your web browser.
By default, all menu items available to your user id are shown. You have the
option of identifying individual menu items as favorites. After defining your
favorites, you may toggle your menu view from all menu items to just your
favorites and then back again, whenever you wish.
When no menu items are tagged as favorites the menu will appear as follows.
To tag a menu item as a favorite, move your mouse to the left of the menu
item. A small white heart will appear to the left of the menu item.
A small pop-up hint will also appear, containing the text
Add to Favorites if your mouse remains there for more than one second.
Click left on the heart. The heart will change from white to red and the hint will
change to Remove from Favorites.
After selecting all your favorites you will have a series of red hearts that will
continue to show, one for each menu item tagged as a favorite.

over the red heart of that item and click. The heart will change back to
white and will disappear when you move your mouse away.
