Process to setup automatically unit of measure to "days" by default

[Patrick Moysan]

Hi,

Except if I'm mistaken, unit of measure cannot be setup at system level and by default the value is "fte".
As "fte" is not convenient in our company (its "day" in our case), everytime a new user is created, it's necessary that user change manually this setting via the web app (Hi User -> Settings -> General).
I would like to have this operation automatically performed when a user is created.

Do you have any idea on how to proceed ?

So far, the only workaround I can imagine consist in inserting a row into the database table cmn_ui_personalizations as following:
- USER_ID : <user id of the resource>
- COMPONENT : general
- PERSONALIZATIONS : {"units":"days"}

I'm looking for a smarter solution/workaround

This is already available as feature via modern ux --> username (top right on the screen) --> settings

Hi Suman,

What you show is how to proceed manually (by the way I'm talking about unit of measure in General settings).
I want this field to be setup by default and automatically to "days" instead of "fte".

Hi Patrick,
Currently there is no method to set the 'default' Unit of Measurement for the Modern UX to all users.
Only the user has direct control on this setting.

Hi Katthryn,

I'm looking for a custom solution waiting an OOTB solution.
I guess I don't have other choice than update directly the database in order to do what I want (perhaps as described in my initial post)

I understand.
BTW, the screenshot you show is only for setting the Unit of Measurement (UOM) on the Staffing Plan Telescopic Workspace.  
There is another place to set the UOM is through the User's, SETTINGS, GENERAL options.

The field I want to setup automatically is the unit of measure defined in User -> Settings -> General

So the question is how to do this automatically ?
Via a custom process that perform a DB update ?
