Doc64: Defaulting

Title: Defaulting

Traction has a simple defaulting system. You can set defaults for most project and user settings in Server Setup. Then you can override the defaults anytime you need to in Project or Personal setup.

Traction supports the following types of defaults:

General Defaults apply globally.
Default Browser Specific Preferences control settings that can be overridden on a per-user and per-browser basis. Per-browser settings are stored in cookies.
Default User Preferences control settings that each user can modify in Personal Setup.
Default Project Preferences control settings that project administrators can change in Project Setup.

The server setup defaults page is organized into the above sections.

Within other setup interfaces, you will generally find either a pull-down menu setting to use the default value, or a checkbox, depending on the type of the value being requested.

If you specify to use the default, and the default changes, the current default will always apply. If you select an explicit value, a change to the default will not affect the value for the user or project that has overridden the default.
