    Folder descriptions displaying instead of name?

    Original Question: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by Martin Aitken

    I (and others) have folder description being displayed in the tree view instead of the names.

    I have been told to untick the "Display Descriptions" box in the Setting tab but I do not have that option available.  This is the view I have had since getting access to PW so I haven't changed anything myself.

    Can someone advise please?

    Thanks

     


    Verified Answer: RE: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by Jeff Burrill

    It appears that your account isn't granted the option to "Allow user to change settings" in the User Interface node (where the setting "Display descriptions" resides), which is why it does not appear in the node list. In fact, with the exception of Document List, it looks like your account is not permitted to make changes to any of the other settings nodes.

    If you are an administrator you can make the change in ProjectWise Administrator. If not, you'll need to talk to your ProjectWise admin person to get the setting changed.


    Question: RE: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by Martin AitkenThanks Jeff, I have contacted the administrator to see if they can do this for me
    Question: RE: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by JRODLook under your User options, settings tab, User Interface then look for "Display Descriptions" if it is checked you will see Descriptions instead of file or Project names.
