If you’ve customized your PCRecruiter database then you want to make sure each new or existing user inherits that customization. By default Users do not inherit another user’s customization. Use these directions to copy the settings of one user to another instead of configuring each manually.  Be cautious while using this tool, as to not override a user’s settings.

1. Click the System icon from the Main Toolbar.
2. Click Users
3. Click Copy User Settings
4. Select Source User Name. (This is the user you are copying from, if the user you would like to copy from does not appear in the dropdown return to their user settings and change Model User to ‘Yes’)
5. Choose Select All if you would like to copy every option (Excludes Form Letters)
6. Choose Save as Default to save your selections, this will save your options for the next time you are copying settings.
7. Select which settings to copy:
