Changing ClinicalVision settings

You can set up ClinicalVision preferences and defaults in the Settings dialog box. Each ClinicalVision setting will either be global, user-specific, or workstation-specific. Global and user settings are stored in the database and apply to all computers on the network. Workstation settings are stored on each computer and apply to only that computer. User settings follow each user to all computers on the network. Global settings in ClinicalVision can be modified only if an administrative user is logged in.
