About copying user defaults

Important! Copying existing user defaults to a new user does not copy the existing user’s security settings.

Copying user defaults speeds up the process of setting up a new user or users who are going to be working in Sage 100 Contractor in a way similar to an existing user.

Copying user defaults from one user to another copies all defaults associated with that existing user. For example, it copies grid views and reporting defaults that have been saved throughout Sage 100 Contractor.

Copying user defaults does not copy security settings to the new user because security is based on groups, not individual users. In addition, desktop settings are not copied to the new user because desktop settings are computer-specific.

To copy user defaults, you must log in as the supervisor user. You access the Copy User Defaults window through the Options menu on the 7-3-2 User List window.
