DCO v8 Web interface - Globaly set the default "Preferred unit system"

[DCIM_Support]

Is there a way to set all current and future users preferred unit system to the servers location default measurement type by default (in my case metric) instead of always using US customary units?

Hi Chad Broad

StruxureWare Data Center Operation desktop client uses operation system settings for initial configuration. If your new users will have US version of Windows installed on their computers, they all will see US measurement units on the first run of StruxureWare Data Center Operation desktop client.

You can read more about it here:
Working with multiple languages
(Article title is about languages, but it applies to measurement units too!) 

For audit log, we use server settings, which could be changed, as described here:

Reconfiguring locale on the StruxureWare Data Center Operation server

(Try en_AU for language code)

And finally, for the StruxureWare Data Center Operation web client you can use API calls for creating new users with specified locale (and measurement units).

Thanks, to clarify i am talking about the web interface on DCO v8. So without delving into API's theres no way yet to set metric as the server default?

Hi Chad Broad changing server's default locale does not affect the regional settings of new users created via web client (I tested this). Web client seem to always create new users with language set to English and measurement units set to "US". If you are creating multiple users, you can use this script: #!/bin/sh # NewUser.sh curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{ "password": "changeme", "user": { "username": "'"$1"'", "email": "'"$2"'", "preferences": [ { "key": "unitSystem", "value": "metric" } ], "locale": "en", "fullName": "'"$3"'" } }' 'https://user:password@192.168.1.1/api/current/users'; -k

Thanks for the info, im not sure where or how to run that script. Is there anyway to set existing users to metric? I will create a feature request for this to be the case in the future.
