User preferences

To access user preferences, complete the following steps:

1. In a Session, open your menu or tablet.

2. From the side menu, select Settings .

3. On the Settings page, select User Preferences.

The following table describes settings that you can adjust on the User Preferences page. Many of the settings persist between Sessions so you need to set your preference only once.
