This chapter covers User Settings which are applied to all tabs in the report unless you change them specifically in a query. User Settings are listed under the User profile icon in the right-hand corner of the screen.
User Settings gives you the possibility to configure preferences that are applied universally across all Halo Reports tabs unless overridden by specific changes made within a particular query or section.
Scope of User Settings
When you are working within a report in Halo Reports, certain configurations need to be consistent throughout the application. These settings will be reflected in your calculations, interface, and results. For detailed description, please see the following articles:
User Settings, once defined, are applied universally. This means that if you set a particular preference or configuration in the User Settings section, it will be reflected in every tab or module of the report by default. Users don't have to manually adjust these settings in every section; the system applies them automatically.
Adjusting Settings in Tabs
However, there might be situations where certain queries require different configurations. In such cases, the settings defined at the query level take precedence over the global User Settings. This allows for customization based on specific needs without altering the universal settings. For instance, if by default you have "Treat 'No answer' as missing value" activated in User Settings, you can deactivate this setting by going to Output settings directly in the tab where you prepare your calculation. Once you deactivate this option, the query will not treat "No answer" as a missing value despite the fact that this option is active under the global User settings. It allows you to customize your tab without disrupting the overall settings applied to the entire report.
