    What is User Preferences?

    I clicked on the Preferences tab in the Edit User for my name and saw something that made no sense to me

    May I have an explanation please?

    Leslie:

    Those are all the UI elements you have customized. Each time you set a column width (for example), it is associated with your user account and persisted.

    My own list is pretty long!

    I think that the Preference Name could be shortened somehow. MMScreen.grouptab.GT_UISETTINGS.grouptab_entry.CMP _CSSUI_BUTTONS.visible?

      It's worth noting that what used to be called preferences is now one tab to the left under settings.

        Maybe the tabs need to be rename...the Settings tab maybe should have stayed as Preferences. The Preferences tab maybe should be Configurations.

          It's too late at this point to change that.

            Yeah, sorry. Wish I had noticed that sooner.

            In the same vain - what is Two-Factor Authentication? And what do I do with the QR Code it generates?

              This is the best place to start: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_...authentication

              In a nutshell we now support TOTP and any app or dongle that supports it (such as Google Authenticator)

              It's optional on a per admin user basis so if you don't enable it, it won't impact you. However it is a far more secure method of managing Admin access.

                I understand it's better security, it will just need good detailed instructions on how to use it, especially the QR code that gets generated and what you are supposed to do with it.

                  Sure it'll be fully documented in the new reference guide (which is separate from Pamela's new book). It's super easy though let me know if you want one of us too walk you through it?
