  • Go to the table AD_UserPreference.

  • Add a new column with the new preference. (Don't forget to synchronize it)

  • Go to the User Preference window record on Window, Tab & Field.

  • Create the new fields on the user preference tab.

  • If you want it to be displayed in the popup menu, mark it as a quick entry. Otherwise you will be able to set it in the user preference window.

  • Now you have your new preference for users.
