By default, all users may customise the look and feel of OfficeTalk, creating their own private display profiles. You can restrict non-supervisors from being able to create their own display profiles, forcing them to use the default workgroup display profile. You can do this by checking the All users will use the public profile check box in the Profiles page of the Workgroup property sheet and selecting the required profile from the drop down list. When this option is selected, non-supervisors will be unable to change the settings of the default display profile. Any changes that are made to list sort orders, column widths, list groupings etc. are not saved to the database and remain only for the duration of the user's OfficeTalk session.
A supervisor may make changes to any public display profile but will be warned that changes made to the profile may affect other users and will be prompted to save changes on exiting OfficeTalk as shown below.
