Roles and users that inherit all of their preferences from a parent role are gray in the navigation pane on the Configure area - Preferences section. Users and roles that have custom preferences are white. If required, you can overwrite these custom preferences to those used by a parent role. For example, if a user in the Radiologist role has set some configuration options in the Image area that are interfering with radiology department workflow, you can revert the user to the preferences used by the Radiologist role.
To overwrite custom preferences
From the Configure drawer menu
, select Preferences.In the navigation pane, right-click a role or user and select Use roleName Settings for All.
The custom preferences of the role or user are removed. The role or user now inherits preferences from the next role in the hierarchy. Some examples of custom preferences that are removed include:
Keywords
Saved search criteria
Loaded worklists
Relevance settings
Personal image area customize options (including toolbar, screen layout, and user profile workflow options)
Personal Text area layout customizations
 | Note: Nothing prevents two people from editing a single user's preferences at the same time, so it may appear that changes you have made were not applied. |
