User Experience
The User Experience preferences customize general PensionPro behavior.
| Remember My Grid Preferences | When enabled, sorting, ordering, and grouping preferences will be saved for Dashboard grids. If disabled, Dashboard grids will return to their default state when the page is refreshed. |
| Display Density | Regular displays grid items with default spacing. Compact minimizes white spacing, resulting in more items being displayed at one time, at the potential cost of reduced readability. |
| Default Tabs |
Any tabs selected as default will be open upon logging in to PensionPro, and cannot be closed.
|
| Default Worktray |
Sets the Worktray that will be used as the default for the Default Tabs preference.
|
| Hide/Show Filter Row |
When enabled, quick filter fields will be added below the column header row on Dashboards. If disabled, this row will not be shown. |
| Remember My Save Preference |
Sets the default Save button type for certain pop-up windows, such as those when adding a Time Slip. Alternate options will still be provided regardless of setting.
|
| Wrap Text |
When enabled, text in grid columns will wrap to a new line based on column width. If disabled, the text will be truncated instead. |

Search
The Search view allows an Employee to customize the results that are returned when searching PensionPro. Each record category can be customized individually. To edit the search preferences for a record category, hover over the category in the grid, then select Edit on the right-hand side.
The Show option determines whether or not PensionPro includes the category in the search results. Only categories with Show set to Yes will be returned.
The Expanded option determines whether the results for the category are expanded by default. When set to No, the category can be expanded manually on the search results page by selecting it.
The Show Deactivated/Closed option determines whether the search results should include records (such as Plans) that have been made inactive, or records (such as Projects) that have been completed or otherwise closed. Set to Yes to include these items in the search results.
The Show Inactive Plans option is only available for Projects and Distributions. When enabled, search results will include Projects or Distributions for terminated Plans. If disabled, these items will not be included.
