User Settings#

Configuration location#

User settings are stored in a configuration file that is specific to each user. Default user settings can be deployed to all users on a machine, or to individual users. Settings are loaded in the following order:

  1. User-specific settings file, located at: %appdata%\Algenta\Colectica\DesignerSettings.json

  2. Machine-wide settings file, located at: %programdata%\Algenta\Colectica\DesignerSettings.json

  3. Legacy settings from Designer 7.5 and earlier, located in local application settings directory.

  4. Default settings embedded in the application.

To deploy default settings for a new Designer installation, create a JSON file with the desired settings and place it in the machine-wide settings directory.
