Fields
Description
General
User
Displays the name of the selected user.
Translator
Select Yes to set the user as a translator.
As translator the user is allowed to overwrite custom (user-defined) translations.
User-defined translations get status ‘2’ in the application.
Typically, when importing a new language file, user-defined translations remain unaffected. However, when importing a language file as ‘translator’, the user-defined fields are overwritten by the translations in the language file.
Language
Select a language for the user.
* 
When you do not specify a language for a user, the application does not know which language to display when the user logs on. In the application it is specified that when this occurs, the first available language will be displayed.
Theme
Select a theme for the user.
* 
To see the Themes field, you must first add it to the TSI. To allow users to change their theme themselves, see Web Configuration > Allowing users to choose a theme
The following themes are available in Planon:
• Classic
• Planon light: a default light theme (background is mostly bright, fonts are mostly black)
• Planon dark: a default dark theme (background is mostly dark, fonts are mostly white)
• High contrast: provides the best possible contrast for visually impaired people.
• Custom light: customized light theme based on the primary and secondary colors selected in System Settings > Themes.

When enabled (Yes), this field ensures that the steps under a level are displayed when hovering over a level.
If you add this field to the My Account definition, users can determine this setting for themselves.
Text overflow
Specify the behavior of long text labels. To comply with the readability of text guidelines, you can indicate how to space out text without losing information or overflow of text into other elements.
The options are:
• Ellipsis
Text that is too long is cut off and ellipsis points (…) are displayed instead. When hovering over the label, a tooltip will display the full text.
• Wrap
Text in the navigation panel, element list, data grid field labels and action panel labels will wrap.

Most components will wrap, others will still use ellipsis points, and some will display a tooltip.
