Required to define which viewers, reports and functions the members of a User Group have access to. This viewer may also be used to create the User Groups themselves.
If you had created a user group named DISPATCHERS, you would most likely want to include View Dispatch Board in their functions list, but omit the accounting functions. Likewise, if you had also created an ACCOUNTANTS user group, you would allow them access to accounting functions, but not the dispatch board.
Required to define to access to functions and reports for members of this User Group.
The User Group Functions screen is divided into upper and lower sections. The upper section contains the User Group record. For details on the upper section, click User Groups Viewer .
The Functions List displays which (if any) functions are currently available for this Group. Contact your Data-Basics support representative for additional information on which functions should be included for each of your user groups.
Tip: if you wish to control access, add, change or delete privileges to a two-part or tabbed viewer, both the parent and child views must be edited. For example, if you want to let users add or change their dispatch board definitions, but not delete them, both View Boards and View Boards and Technicians would need to be edited so that the Delete box was not checked. In this example, the Access, Add, and Change boxes should be checked.
