Available Out-of-the-Box Default Settings for New Users
In order to make Tamarac useful right out of the box, all new Tamarac users receive a set of preconfigured default views and settings. These default configurations are designed to get new users up and running quickly by offering an array of standard, frequently-used views and settings for the following major areas in Tamarac:
|
|
Tamarac automatically assigns default configurations to all new users added after February 21, 2019.
Existing users do not see these default configurations.
These are private default configurations owned by each new user. This means that the user can edit, delete, share, or copy any item marked Default. Default configurations can serve as the basis to further customize views or configurations, giving new users an idea for a useful view that then just needs a few minor adjustments to optimize.
Within the bounds of their permissions, new users will always be able to create any fully customized view or configuration from scratch, as well.
The prefix Default - identifies all preconfigured views and settings.
Some default names include the following date period abbreviations:
ITD: Inception to Date
YTD: Year to Date
For more information about date periods, Dates and Date Periods.
The following sections describe the default configurations that all new users will see when they initially start using Tamarac.
Default configurations respect user permissions. For example, if a new user doesn't have permission to handle billing, he won't see any billing-related default bulk reports. Similarly, if a new user doesn't have permission to edit PDF templates, she won't be able to change her default templates.
Features that your firm doesn't use won't be included. For example, if your firm doesn't have manual security snapshots enabled, new users won't see the manual security snapshot-related bulk report.
The Reporting Dashboard aggregates data from across Tamarac for an at-a-glance view of the data you're most interested in.
