# User preferences

One of the main features of the State Oriented Data Access facility is that a form’s colours can be completely customised to uniquely represent each state. The User preferences form allows these colours, along with other preferences, to be set for an individual user, for a user’s group or for all other users where no preferences have been defined.

Once a user has logged in, they can change their own preferences. A user with Administrator permissions can change the preferences of other users.
