Changing User Interface (UI) Settings

At the enterprise level, you can adjust how dates appear in the UI, specify whether time and time zone values appear in tables, and set the first day of week. You can also set the default for proportional scroll bars in lists. When proportional scrolling is enabled, the size and position of the “thumb” on a scroll bar accurately reflects the number of items in the list.
Note: You can override the time and proportional scroll bar settings on individual configurations. For more information, see Table Configurations.
For attachments, you can view the supported file types and set the maximum size for embedded attachments and documents.
Finally, you can select the default find bar set for the enterprise. The find bar set is a subset of classes that is available for selection in the Find bar in APM windows. For information, see Creating Find Bar Sets.
