  1. Select the Enforce check box next to the preference you want to be imposed on all users. Users will not be able to modify this setting in their personal workfow preferences. Administrators may be able to modify their personal workflow preferences which are dependent upon the setting in System Configuration > Settings > General.
  2. To reset the value for all users, click the Reset button next to the option name. At the prompt message, click OK. The settings will take effect the next time the user logs into FileHold.
  3. To reset all workflow preference options to their original default values, click Reset All Settings.
  4. Click Save. The changes will be pushed out to all end users unless their workflow preferences have been previously modified. If the option is set to “enforced” then their preferences will be changed and locked down (meaning they cannot be modified by the end user) except for possibly Library Administrators or higher.
