Preferences are nothing but group of settings which are used to define one’s products usability, visualization, behavior, actions, etc. In a technical term preference is usually used in relation to choosing between alternatives. For example, someone prefers Date format ‘MM/DD/YYYY’ over ‘DD/MM/YYYY ’if they would rather choose ‘DD/MM/YYYY ’if than ‘MM/DD/YYYY’.

In this blog, we will be discussing how we can set up our preferences.
Sage Intacct provides to set up preferences in two different ways:

• Company Preferences: Admin will set up preferences that will affect all user across company.
• Individual Preferences: This sets up your individual preferences which defines how you work in your environment in Sage Intacct.

Click your sign-in name at the top of any page and select My preferences.

If you’re an administrator, to set individual preferences for another user, go to Company > Admin > Users. Click Preferences on the appropriate user row.

Note: If you’re an administrator, you can set your own individual user preferences as well as those of other users.

Below are the details included in Preferences section:
