User Preferences Impact
Use the data in User Preference Impact to determine whether a user preference can be disabled to improve performance. For example, if you disable Component Availability, you can improve performance when retrieving and saving data.

Search/User Preference
Impact
Enable Component Availability
When enabled, the system computes component availability statuses during both search and save operations. This is a processor-intensive computation that can add a significant load on the server.
Important  If you do not need Component Availability functions, you should disable this feature as it can make a significant difference in performance.
Process Operation Details
Disabling this function prevents the search from transferring routing records to the client. Not having routing records on the client removes the required additional processing the system needs to keep routings updated. Users who schedule for production lines only should use this function.
Display Search Progress
When searching, this option makes the client divide the entire search into smaller groups. It also causes a progress bar to display as it processes each group. A processing overhead is associated with dividing the search into smaller groups. If the search takes too long, you should try disabling this feature.
Horizon
The Component Availability horizon determines the number of days for which the system computes Component Availability status. This affects the number of MRP detail records that the server processes and sends to the client.
