User Preferences F/M (SMF440)

Use this program to maintain user preferences for each user of the system. You can access this program by selecting the Settings button on the FACTS main menu. These settings are derived from User Code F/M and other FACTS programs that provide default information for FACTS companies, users, and locations. Each user can modify their own settings using this program.

My Alerts

You can access the System Alerts Dashboard, where you can subscribe to system generated alerts, by selecting the My Alerts button.

Multiple User Profiles

Users can set up multiple profiles with different defaults for warehouse, printer, etc. Then, if users need to change from working in warehouse 01 to warehouse 02, they can simply change the active profile and all of the default values will change. Users do not need to have multiple logins to get different default values. The active profile is displayed when the user enters this program.

Whenever the user changes their active profile, all of the global default variables will be reset. If no default warehouse, department or branch is set in the user’s active profile then they will be taken from the location record, if one is set up.

Settings Drop Down List: On the FACTS Main menu, a drop-down list from the Settings button allows the user to change their active profile. When the mouse pointer is hovered over the settings button, it will show what profile the user is working with.

The drop-down contains two menu items.

• Change Active Profile: Selecting this display a window with a prompt for selecting a profile. You can press to search display the profile description. Selects OK to close this window and reset the active profile to the new one and store it to the user code record.

• Profile F/M: Selecting this will bring up User Profile F/M where the user can add, edit and delete profile records. Upon returning, the last profile that was edited will be compared to the active profile and if different the user FACTS asks if the active profile should be changed to this one.
