My Options > Preferences The Preferences sub-tab gives you the ability to personalize your time zone and regional settings, set your dashboard options, choose what module you start in after logging in to your OpenAir.com account, set display options, and set email options. My Options > Preferences > Time settings When you are working out of town, you may want to change from the company's default time zone to the local time zone. To change the company default time zone to the local time zone: 1. In the My Account module, click on the "My Options" tab. 2. Click on the "Preferences" tab. 3. In the "Time settings" field, enter the new time zone from the drop-down menu. (All of the world's time zones are available in this menu.) 4. If the new locality observes Daylight Saving Time, check the "Adjust for Daylight Saving Time" box. 5. Click on "Save." Important: Be sure to re-adjust the time zone upon return or relocation. Note: Only users with access permission can change the time settings on a company-wide basis; see Company > Settings > Time settings. Such enabled users can also change an individual user's time zone setting; see Account > Users > Time settings. My Options > Preferences > Regional Settings Select the date format you prefer (if it is different from the company default) for date displays throughout the application. This will override the company date format for your use. It will not affect other users of the account. My Options > Preferences > Dashboard options You can choose whether or not you see the entire array of reminder and status options available to you in the dashboard tab, even if there are no active items requiring your attention, by checking the "Display zero items on dashboard" box (and then clicking on "Save"). By default, this box is not checked, given that the full set of items is quite long if you have access to all service modules. Note: If you do not have access to a service module, none of those module’s items will appear on your dashboard. My Options > Preferences > Display Options You can choose how many entries will be displayed by default in the "client:project," "expense," "product," "user," "vendor," and "approver" drop-down lists throughout the application. (You can use the magnifying glass search feature to find entries not displayed in the list). For example, if you are creating a timebill, you may only want to see those clients and projects you use most frequently when selecting these from the drop-down list on the "New timebill" dialog box. If you limit the number of client:project combinations that are displayed in these drop-downs, it will display only those you have used most recently (up to the limit you specify here). Set the number of rows to display per day in the "My Calendar" monthly view. Checkboxes to (1) show the "My Calendar" tab in all modules, not just in "My Account"; (2) show the "Account" tab only in the "My Account" module; (3) remember the size of popup windows, if re-sized, in certain instances; (4) add a save or run button to the top of forms, in addition to the bottom. My Options > Preferences > Starting module You can choose which OpenAir.com account module you would like to be in after signing in to your account by making your selection from the "Starting Module" drop-down menu, and then clicking on "Save." Only the modules to which you have access will appear in the drop-down menu. My Options > Preferences > Email Settings You can choose to be "Bcc’d" on all emails. This means that you will receive any e-mail you send from the OpenAir application. For example, if you send a proposal to a client, you will also receive the e-mail that the client sees. Note: Administrators can set this preference for other users in the Account > Users dialog.
