What does the 'Before User Edit' trigger primarily manage?

The 'Before User Edit' trigger primarily manages defaulting values and changing display characteristics. This trigger is designed to run before the user interacts with a record, allowing for adjustments such as setting default values for fields, altering how certain data is presented, and possibly modifying the behavior of fields based on specific conditions. This mechanism ensures that users have a tailored experience that may enhance usability and data entry efficiency.

For instance, when a form is loaded, the 'Before User Edit' trigger can automatically populate fields with specific values or adjust the visibility of certain fields based on user roles or prior selections, making the form more relevant to the user's needs.

The focus is on preparing the record and its interface for better user interaction, rather than on processing submissions, validating existing data, or sending notifications post-edit, which fall under the scope of other triggers or processes.
