About Roaming User Profiles

Roaming user profiles are collections of personalized preferences and tool defaults that are stored on the IntelePACS server for each user. After you customize user preferences or tool defaults, every time you log in to an InteleViewer workstation, your user profile is automatically applied to your login session at that particular workstation. Any changes you make to your user profile are updated on the PACS server.

There are two types of profiles: general and layout.

General profiles are collections of user preferences (set in the User Preferences dialog) and tool defaults. These preferences include:

  • Worklist column widths and sorting order
  • Display of status bar, toolbar, or thumbnail view
  • Worklist filters (including linked filters)
  • Toolbar location, last tool used, and setup of various tools (image scroll bar, stacking tool, etc.)
  • Patient Record tab user interface
  • Search tool user interface
  • General user interface settings
  • Appearance settings
  • Measurement settings
  • Dictation Module settings

Layout profiles are specific to your monitor setup and shared only with workstations having the same number of monitors. These preferences include:

  • Series layout
  • Image layout
  • Modality preferences
  • Advanced Layout protocols
  • Mammography protocols
  • Presentation States settings

Certain user preferences and tool defaults are workstation-specific, and therefore do not roam. These are stored locally on your workstation and include: window sizes and positions, the Toolbar Icon Size, Local Storage settings, Print dialog settings, Export JPEG options, DICOM preferences, site code, Third-Party Viewer settings, server bookmarks, monitor calibration, dictation-system settings (with the exception of Dictation Module settings), and the upgrade track.

You can create new general and layout profiles, and switch profiles to use preferences and tool defaults that are more appropriate to the workstation on which you are working.

When you log in to InteleViewer, the current general and layout profiles for your workstation and user name are loaded from the IntelePACS server, and merged with the local preferences.
