Set User Defaults
User Defaults will auto-populate field values in search pages and data entry pages based on your access. They are very useful tools for making data entry easier and faster. User Defaults are only available for administrative users.
The User Defaults component contains several pages, however, this document describes User Defaults 1 and User Defaults 4, which are most generally used.
All other User Default pages are specific to Admissions, Registrar and Financial staff and do not need to be filled in.
Enter as many or as few fields as makes sense for your job. You may change your User Defaults as often as needed. You can always change from the default settings and choose another option when you enter UAConnect.
