Business requirement?: 3 General Preferences fields updated, when manually creating a user account

Summary

Possible Business requirement for 3 fields that get updated, when manually creating a user account

Content

Hi

 

While creating a user account manually, we noticed that these 3 general preferences fields get automatically updated:

- Default Distance Unit

- Workflow Event Notification

- Fax Notification

Wanted to know

- can we control which fields should get updated/ defaulted while creating user accounts manually?

- if not then what could have been the possible reason to zero in on these 3 fields?

 

Regards

Raj
