The display preferences page is divided into four sub-sections.

Date and time formats
This is where you can choose your preferred date and time formats. These presets will determine how dates and times appear throughout Method.
The Time Zone can be set on a company-wide basis, or on a personal basis. For more information on Time Zones, please see "How are Time Zones set in Method?"

with a minus symbol: -99.99
in parentheses: (99.99)
You can also choose whether or not to use a thousands separator (e.g. 1,000 vs. 1000).
Navigation
Go to screen action default behavior
This refers to how a screen will open when a record is selected in the app ribbon panel. In the below image, we are looking at an associated activity for an opportunity.
When a user selects the activity on the right, there are two ways the activity screen can be viewed: within the panel itself or its own screen.
Open in Main Panel - With this selection, the selected associated record is brought up in its respective app, and the parent record will no longer be visible. In the below example, the activity is opened up in the Activities app.
Open in Current Panel - The associated record will appear within the panel, allowing the parent record to still be viewed on-screen. In the below example, notice how you can view an opportunity with an associated activity in the right panel. Note that any link selected in the panel will still show in the panel. Thus, if the David Henderson contact link is selected, it too will open in the right panel and the opportunity will still be visible.
