# Client defaults and document actions

> Configure shared upload behavior, distinguish personal overrides from enforced defaults, and expose document actions to selected groups.

## Shared settings and personal overrides

Open **Admin settings** from the profile menu. Shared defaults and **Personal settings** are separate scopes. Some settings let you prevent personal overrides; without that restriction, a user's existing personal choice may explain why they see different behavior.

**General settings** exposes language, theme, an administrative date-format override, and whether Office downloads require confirmation. The download setting includes a control to prevent personal override. Distinguish shared settings from the personal screen and verify the effective result for another account; presentation choices do not change stored document dates.

After changing a shared default, test with both a user who has no personal override and one who has customized the setting.

## Configure upload behavior

Open **Upload → Upload behavior** with `client.upload-behavior.view` or `client.upload-behavior.manage` as appropriate. Review:

| Setting                      | Configuration question                                                 |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Property maps                | Which file/upload properties should populate which keywords?           |
| Default document type        | What type should a new upload start with?                              |
| Excluded document types      | Which types should the upload UI omit?                                 |
| Always/never shared keywords | Which values should carry across documents in a multi-document upload? |
| Document date                | What date source should be used by default?                            |
| Keyword visibility           | Which indexing fields should initially be shown?                       |
| Prevent personal overwrite   | Which choices must remain under central control?                       |

These are client behavior settings. Hiding a document type in an upload picker is not a replacement for document-type access rights enforced by the API.

Verify with a representative file and destination type. Check the resulting stored metadata, not just the values initially displayed in the upload form.

## Configure document actions

Open **Documents → Document actions** with document configuration access. Create an action with a name, optional icon, order, active state, document-type scope, and user groups.

Choose the action type:

* A **URL action** uses a template and the supported document/keyword placeholders shown by the editor. Mark required values where the action cannot work without them. Review what metadata is sent in the resulting URL and to which destination.
* A **workflow action** selects a published document workflow. It starts the latest published version for the document on which it is invoked.

Only the selected groups see the action. **Global** applies its type scope to all document types, not to every user group. Display order uses lower numbers first.

Test an eligible document, a document outside the type scope, an account outside the visibility groups, and a missing required keyword. For workflow actions, inspect the resulting instance and service-account access. Making a button visible does not guarantee its destination operation is authorized.
