You use the Default Information dialog box to add or change information that customizes several aspects of working with the system, including:
How you view the system (currency formats and language, for example).
What records you see when you open an application (just your default insert site or all sites that you are authorized to view).
The site and storeroom values the system inserts by default on records you create.
Note: Depending on the rights assigned to you by your system administrator, you may not have access to this dialog box.
From the tool bar, click Profile and select Default Information.
In the Default Information dialog box, edit the following fields as needed:
Default Insert Site - The site from which you most often insert records. Click Select Value to select from a list of sites.
When you insert a record, if the Site field is not determined by some other relationship, the system enters this site in the field. Similarly, if an Organization field is not determined by some other relationship, the system will enter the Organization owning this site in the field.
Use Default Insert Site as a Display Filter - If you select this check box, the system displays records for only the default insert site. If the application is organization-level, the system displays the records for the organization to which the site belongs.
Even if you select this check box, you can always clear the filter when you are in an application and view records for all the sites you have been given access to.
Storeroom Site and Default Storeroom - The site and storeroom from which you most often request material. Click Select Value to select from a list. When you create a material requisition in a self service application, and the site is not determined by some other relationship, the system inserts this site and this storeroom.
You can enter a value for the storeroom site only, but if you specify a default storeroom, you must also specify the storeroom site.
Language - The language in which you want to use the system. Click Select Value to select from a list of available languages.
Locale - This field determines several system settings such as currency and date formats. Click Select Value to select from a list of locales.
Time Zone - The time zone where you are. Click Select Value to select from a list of time zones.
Click OK.
