About User Preferences
User preferences control the behavior and appearance of your Web application. The user preferences that you set apply to the user interface for only your session, and not to user interface for the sessions of other users. Your user preferences are stored in a Siebel patch file (SPF), and not in a table. This file has an extension of .spf. Each user of an application has a .spf file for that application.
Your access to the functionality in the User Preferences screen depends on how your application is configured. For more information, contact your administrator.
Some user preferences settings might not take effect until you log out, and then log back in to the application.
