Outlook as Mail-Client

[yuri]

You can reset all preferences to defaults by deleting entries from preferences table. After metadata change, the new default true value will be applied. But users will lose their preferences.

Ok, thanks.
I have about 40 Users.
But it is no problem to change it manual

There's no such a feature. I would have written otherwise. If you have about 10 users, it wouldn't take a lot of time to change.

[HommelIT]

Yes, I know.
But how can I change for all users with one click?

[yuri]

An admin user can change preferences of another user. Administration > Users > a specific user > the top-right dropdown > Preferences.

Hi Yuri,
OK, thanks.
But how can I edit the preferences for all users?
I only found it when the user himself is logged in.

Hi Torsten,

Admin can edit preferences for existing users.

For new users, which will be created in future, you can set the default value to true.

1. Create a file custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Preferences.json

{
    "fields": {
        "emailUseExternalClient": {
             "default": true
         }
    }
}

2. Clear cache in Espo.

I didn't check it though.

Hello,
is it possible to set a external mail-client as default for every user?
At the moment, the user must change it in preferences.

Thanks, with regards
Torsten
