The User Settings dialog provides options for the appearance and navigational structure of Jedox for the active user. These settings only affect the user and are not applied to all Jedox instances. Some changes in this dialog, such as language and ribbon, take effect after logging out and in again. Other changes take effect immediately, such as Theme (although only for personal user theme, not for user group theme).
User Settings can be accessed from the side navigation bar. In the legacy nav bar, the dialog is accessed through the User Settings icon on the left side:
In the new nav bar, User Settings can be accessed by clicking the user icon at the bottom of the bar:

A checkmark indicates that the setting is just for the user; a filled-in checkbox indicates that the group setting will apply. An empty checkbox indicates that the object does not appear in the user's environment. - set the default Theme for Jedox Views in Reports.
If user settings are specified here, they override any group settings. In this case, the group's default homepage will not be loaded, and a defined group theme for Jedox Views will not be used.
