Settings tab
Contains your personal user settings, which determine what you can and cannot do, in general, with documents, folders, and projects. User settings also determine what items you see in ProjectWise Explorer, for example whether or not versions display, or where or not custom folders display. The settings you see on this tab are those which the administrator has given you permission to view and change.
All possible user settings, arranged in categories, are documented here. Each category can be expanded to display its settings. If an icon appears to the left of a setting, that generally means the setting can be expanded to display suboptions.
