Entity Record Template User Preferences do not apply to view templates.

This record stores the user's preferences, such as the list of services for which the dialog appears automatically.

An administrator can modify these preferences as necessary to control the Record Template behavior for a particular user. See "About the Entity Record Template User Preferences Form" on page 804 for information on the Entity Record Template User Preferences formin the Admin Guide for more information.
