Customizing the user interface

The user interface of BSCW may be customized in many different ways concerning presentation as well as functionality. For a number of system functions you may adapt BSCW to specific requirements of the tasks at hand, your personal work style and your proficiency in using BSCW.

BSCW automatically adapts to your browser’s capabilities with regard to the processing of JavaScript and style sheets and to your browser’s setting of the preferred user language.

You adapt BSCW by setting your personal preferences and choosing your viewing options. Also, you may choose to use additional features for file upload or select a specific user interface language.

By disabling JavaScript, e.g., you may adapt BSCW in an ad-hoc fashion to a session using a low bandwidth connection while travelling.
