) at the top right of the Workbench. 
Presentation settings apply to a single system on an Astoria server. Select the server for which you want to view or change presentation settings.
The dialog contains two areas, Presentation Rules and Presentations.
Presentation Rules
Presentation rules allow you to configure a presentation for a particular repository object type.
- If the
icon appears in the first column, the rule is the global system default. - If the
icon appears in the first column, the rule has been created or personalized by the administrator user who has opened the dialog, and the rule is not applied system-wide.
An administrator can add, delete, or edit existing rules, and personalize or globalize an existing presentation.
Presentation rules are stored in the repository and global rules are applied system-wide. However, individual users can override presentation rules to personalize their workbench.
Presentations
Presentation rules define how a particular object is displayed in a workbench view, including a list of column, their order, width, and any parameters associated with the column. The configuration also displays whether the presentation has been personalized, and how it is viewed, such as in details or thumbnails of various sizes (if the objects are graphics).
- If the icon appears next to the presentation name, the presentation is the global system default.
- If the icon appears next to the presentation name, the presentation has been created or personalized by the administrator user who has opened the dialog, and the presentation is not applied system-wide.
An administrator can add, delete, or edit a presentation configuration, or personalize or globalize an existing presentation.
Presentation configurations are stored in the repository and global presentations are applied system-wide. However, individual users can override global presentation configurations to personalize their Workbench.
