You can only change Settings for the login you are currently using (with the exception of logins with undefined Preferences, see the Note below). Settings can be modified at any time during a session and the changes will take effect immediately. Settings can be changed for the current session only or permanently as the default for the login. A change for the current session will only affect the workstation where the change was made. Changing the Settings permanently will affect other users of the same login, but not until they start a new session.

In some cases, changing a setting requires authorization for the function controlled by the setting. For example, to be able to modify the Invoice Settings, the user needs to be authorized for function 78 (Process Invoices). The specific authorization number required to change a setting is listed in the corresponding tutorial section.

To change your settings for the current session only:
  1. Choose Admin » Settings to open the Settings window.
  2. Choose the tab that contains the setting option.
  3. Choose a new value for the setting option.
  4. Choose OK.
To save changed Settings permanently (i.e. for the current and subsequent sessions), you must additionally be authorized for function 176 (Save Settings - Millennium). The Save Settings button is greyed out for unauthorized users.

To change the default settings permanently for the login:
  1. Choose Admin » Settings to open the Settings window.
  2. Choose the tab that contains the setting option.
  3. Choose a new value for the setting option.
  4. Choose Save Settings.
  5. Choose OK.


NOTE: When you save Settings permanently for a login, the change applies to any login that does not have a set of customized Preferences. Therefore it is recommended to customize the for the logins before you start saving Settings permanently.

When a module is accessed from the Millennium control bar, the original login's Settings are used. However, the following settings can have a unique default value in each Millennium application, even though the applications are launched from a single login through the Millennium control bar:
