Edit My User Defaults

User Defaults are commonly used NCAWARE data defined by the user. They are added (attached) to a User ID upon their initial log-in. This data will automatically populate for the user in relevant screens as a convenience. Once populated, the default data can be easily edited if necessary. The defaults are:

- Court Room, Court Session, 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.

Here are the steps to edit your User Defaults after their initial add:

Before you start:

You 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.

From the MAIN MENU of NCAWARE, select the Maintain User Preferences link.
The USER PREFERENCES record for your ID displays defaulted to the DEFAULTS tab. Select the radio button of the county in which the Defaults are to be edited and then click the Edit Defaults button.
The User DEFAULTS DETAILS screen displays. Here are the available fields:

County, Court Room, Court Session, Court Time, Phone Area Code, Default Profile, Detention Facility

Perform the edits and click the Edit button.

The User DEFAULTS EDIT screen refreshes. Your User Defaults for the selected county are set.

If your ID is active in multiple counties, select the next ID county from the County dropdown and perform any necessary edits.
If you are finished editing User Defaults, use the Cancel button or breadcrumb trail to return to the MAIN MENU.
