Setting or Modifying Preferences in the Preference Management Utility
Every preference in the Preference Management utility can be changed, provided you have access to that preference and if the preference is not locked.
To modify a preference:
1. From Windchill, go to the Preference Management utility.
2. Select and right-click the preference you want to set. Select Set Preference on the context menu. The Set Preference window opens.

4. Specify a value for the preference in the Value field.
5. In the Comments box, enter an optional comment about the preference. The comment is limited to 500 characters.

| | The Locked field is not available for individual user preferences. |
