Manuelltilpasset

Manuelltilpasset is a Norwegian term used to describe configurations, settings, or processes that are adjusted by a person rather than automatically by a system. The term is commonly found in product documentation, user manuals, and technical specifications to indicate a non-default state that reflects human input or judgment.

Applications span software and hardware configuration, manufacturing and quality control, data processing, and accessibility design. Examples include manually calibrating a sensor, setting a threshold in image processing, or tailoring a user interface to individual preferences, such as font size, contrast, or keyboard mappings.

Adjustment is performed through user input, override controls, or manual mode, often guided by documented procedures to ensure traceability. The approach enables alignment with specific tasks, user needs, or regulatory requirements, and can be essential when automatic settings are insufficient or inappropriate.

Advantages include greater control, flexibility, and the ability to meet particular safety, regulatory, or accessibility standards. Disadvantages include time consumption, potential for user error, and reduced reproducibility, especially if changes are not properly documented or standardized.

Relation to automation is complementary: many systems provide a manual override or manual mode to allow intervention when automated configurations fail to meet requirements. In interfaces, the label manuelltilpasset may indicate that the current configuration has been customized by a user rather than inherited from automated defaults.
