Original Question: Folder descriptions displaying instead of name? by Martin Aitken

I (and others) have folder description being displayed in the tree view instead of the names.

I have been told to untick the "Display Descriptions" box in the Setting tab but I do not have that option available.  This is the view I have had since getting access to PW so I haven't changed anything myself.

Can someone advise please?

Thanks

It appears that your account isn't granted the option to "Allow user to change settings" in the User Interface node (where the setting "Display descriptions" resides), which is why it does not appear in the node list. In fact, with the exception of Document List, it looks like your account is not permitted to make changes to any of the other settings nodes.

If you are an administrator you can make the change in ProjectWise Administrator. If not, you'll need to talk to your ProjectWise admin person to get the setting changed.
