Add My User Defaults

User Defaults are commonly used NCAWARE data defined by the user. This data will automatically populate for the user in relevant screens as a convenience. Once populated, the default data can easily be edited if necessary. The defaults are:

- Court Room, Court Session, and Court Time - The default Court Information for the user, populated when adding Court Information to any process.
County - Populated in any situation where the user's County is required.
- Phone Area Code - Populated in any situation where the user is required to enter a phone number.
- Detention Facility - Populated when adding a Release Order.

Below are the steps to initially add your User Defaults.

Before you start:

You, or an Administrator, are required to add User Defaults. Further actions in NCAWARE are disallowed until your User Defaults are set (An exception to this rule are User IDs with Inquiry Only rights.)
Only the current User, the State System Administrator, or a Local Data Administrator (LDA) can add or edit a User's Defaults. Click here for the Local Administrator steps to add/edit user Defaults.

Your initial log-in to NCAWARE will automatically display the User DEFAULTS tab (note). Each county in your security profile that is active on NCAWARE is listed. Select the county of defaults to be set, then click the Edit Details button.
The User Defaults Details screen displays. Here are the available fields (most are defaulted from your County Profile):
- County, Court Room, Court Session, Court Time, Phone Area Code, Default Profile, Detention Facility

Keep the defaults or make edits where necessary, then click the Edit button.

The MAIN MENU of NCAWARE displays. Your User Defaults are now set. This is a one-time process. For Help on editing your User Defaults, see Edit My User Defaults.

Note: If your ID is active in multiple counties, click the Next button and repeat the above steps for the remaining county (or counties).
