Setting user preferences

You can change the following preferences:

SettingDescription
Time Zone

Sets the time zone in the user interface and in reports.

Time is adjusted automatically if the selected time zone supports daylight saving time. The TrueSight Presentation Server's default time zone is set as the console's default time zone.

Date/Time Format

Sets the presentation of the date and time in the user interface

Language

Sets the language of the user interface to match the selected language.

When you log on to the TrueSight console for the first time, your browser's locale settings become the default console settings, unless you change them.

This setting has no effect on the language of the online Help.

The TrueSight Presentation Server supports the English, Chinese, and German languages out-of-the-box. To create and apply a custom language pack, see Creating and applying a custom language pack.

Landing Page

Shows the linked page name of the landing page for your user account. The landing page is the page that is displayed when you log on to the TrueSight console. Unless you specify otherwise, the Dashboards page is your landing page. 

To specify a different landing page, select Set as Landing Page from the page action menu of any page in the TrueSight console.

If you specify a dashboard, the internal URL of the dashboard is displayed, not the dashboard name.

Note: However, you cannot modify the last login time preference if your administrator has set this preference.
