Specifying your preferences

The User Options feature enables you to set general preferences for your view of Alfresco.

You can customize the following settings:

Start Location
Specify the space you would like the application to display when you log in.
Interface Language
Specify in which language you would like to view the interface.
Content Language
Specify the preferred language for multilingual properties (metadata) and translations of documents. By default, the content language is set to All Languages, which means that all translations of a document are shown and that the interface language is used for multilingual properties. If a property or document is not available in the preferred content language, Alfresco tries to find an appropriate alternative.

To specify the general preferences:

  1. Click User Options (User Options) in the toolbar to display the User Options page.
  2. In the General Preferences pane, select the desired settings from the Start Location, Interface Language, and Content Language Filter lists.
  3. Click Close.
