Chapter 4 Tailoring User Profiles Every user has the ability to customize the interface that HP Desk presents to them to suit their needs or preferences. By default, all users are configured with a standard User Profile containing values set by Hewlett-Packard or by you. Information on how a user can change their own User Profile is provided in the manual HP DeskManager User Reference Guide. If you wish, you can restrict users' access to their Profiles by installing an abbreviation or a script for the PROFILE command (see Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 ). This section summarizes the features of a User Profile, so you can: * Plan your customization system-wide. * Perform customization for individual users. Many features of the User Profile, though minor in themselves, can significantly affect HP Desk's ease of use, ease of learning, integration, response time, as so on. Some of these advantages are not compatible with each other, and therefore a trade-off will need to be made. For example, displaying Help information before starting forms processing will aid new or inexperienced users but will slow the response time. The effect of some changes and their suitability for your installation may only become apparent through experimentation. Changes to some features will only be possible on systems that are set up appropriately (with suitable printer, applications and so on). If users are to tailor their own Profiles, you may need to make this information available to them.
