SAS Preferences Manager
is a web application that provides a central facility for users to
manage their preferences and settings. See SAS Preferences Manager for more information.
Decision Builder Global Settings
Global settings also apply to some SAS web applications
that are displayed with Adobe Flash Player. When you set a global
preference, it applies only to the user that you are logged on as.
The global settings are divided into three categories: General, Side
Menu, and Accessibility.
General
User locale
specifies the geographic
region whose language and conventions are used in the applications.
The default is the browser locale. Locale changes take effect after
you log off and log back on.
Note: You can also set the User
locale setting by using SAS Preferences Manager. Select
the Regional menu option in SAS Preferences
Manager. For more information,
see SAS Preferences Manager and SAS Preferences Manager in SAS Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide.
Note: If the user locale that you
specify in the settings is different from the user locale for the
SAS Workspace Server, you might receive an error when you try to sign
in to the application. You might also receive encoding errors when
executing tasks. If you receive an error, change the updated locale
back to the original locale.
Theme
specifies the collection
of colors, graphics, and fonts that appear in the applications. Your
site administrator can change the default theme. A theme change might
take a few seconds to apply if many items and features are open.
