setPreference Method

[Anil74]

Hi All,

Anyone can explain about setPreference method.

Thank you.

[Arnoud Kooi]

It's a serverside method and will insert or update a user preference in the sys_user_preference table.

Usage example:

gs.getUser().setPreference('name', 'value');

In addition to what Arnoud has method, there is setPreference method for GlideDialogWindow API

The purpose of setPreference method is to save a user-specific setting in the User Preferences table. In server-side scripts, use the following syntax to set a preference for the current user:

gs.getUser().setPreference('user_preference_name', 'user_preference_value');

In client-side scripts, use this instead:

setPreference('user_preference_name', 'user_preference_value');
