The User Preferences window has three tabs that allow the following customizations:
The General tab of the User Preferences window allows you to:

The Diagram tab of the User Preferences window allows you to:
Figure 74 illustrates the Diagram tab of the User Preferences window.
The Diagram Colors tab of the User Preferences window allows you to change the display color of symbols and links in an activity diagram. For each symbol or link, press the arrow for the fill or line color field and make your selection from the drop-down options. Figure 72 illustrates the Diagram Colors preferences window.
There may be times during the development of a template that a scenario may become so out of line that you would spend a significant amount of time realigning the scenarios. (See Figure 76.) As you can see, the various decision nodes, transition links and other objects are severely misaligned in this diagram. To correct the alignment would take a significant amount of manual work.
To align a scenario, use the Auto Layout option of the View menu (see Figure 77). Selecting this option aligns the objects in the scenario so it displays correctly in the Process Designer Express (see Figure 78).
To align all of the scenarios inside a template at the same time, select the Template Auto Layout option of the View menu.
