Using User Preference [sys_user_preference] to store custom preferences

[cmcdevitt1]

Ok,

I'm going to develop a way for our users to have a time card "template". My users are non-billable and they tend to work on the same projects for a good portion of the year. My users would like to hit a button have have their "prefered" items show up. Then all my users would need to do is fill in their time. Easy enough.

What I was wondering is where to store each users "time card template".   I was wondering a couple of things:

1. Has anybody used sys_user_preference to store thier own custom preferences?

2. Is there any downside to levering this table?

3. I was thinking about storing this information in a JSON object in the Value field. Good / Bad idea?

4. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Chris

I'm looking to do the same.   While I take the day and toy with it (I'm sure I'll come up with something), can anyone share their experiences with doing this?
