General Permissions
|
Use these permissions to control limits on issuing outbound financial documents and approving allocation requests:
- Use
Max Invoice Issue Amount to select the maximum amount that this user can issue in an invoice.
- Use
Max Order Issue Amount to select the maximum amount that this user can issue in an order.
- Use
Max Quote Issue Amount to select the maximum amount that this user can issue in a quote. If the limit is exceeded, the user must find another user who has the appropriate permissions.
- Select the
Allow user to change allocation interval status to Pending/Approved check box to give this user permission to modify the allocation status. Deselect this check box to remove that permission.
|
Notification Permissions
|
Use these permissions to control notifications and alerts:
-
Create/Modify Pending State
Notify user when a new task is set to a pending state, or a task changes its pending state.
|
Restriction Tags
|
Use these permissions to restrict users from seeing certain information in TrafficLIVE.
When you use tags to limit a user's access, that user cannot see:
- Customers whose tag matches the excluded tag.
- Quotes for those customers.
- Jobs for those customers.
- Any result in a search for those customers.
- Time entries.
- Scheduled work entries.
- Expense entries. Note that if you exclude a user from seeing a customer part-way through a job, expense entries might "vanish" from his or her expense claim.
- Purchase orders. Users do not see any POs to which their excluded customers are a party. A PO can contain purchases from more than one job. If any of these jobs is for an excluded customer, the entire PO is hidden from those users.
- Reporting. The Employee Utilization report shows work done for the customer, but the customer is not identified in any way. The report simply shows hours performed by a member of staff; there is no customer name, job number, and so on.

Access Permissions
|
TrafficLIVE controls each user's access to the system with the setting of permissions. Shaded headers are used to group together all permissions of a certain type, or relating to a certain area, for convenience. You assign or remove each permission by selecting or deselecting the permission check box for the selected user.
If a user has not been given access to a function, he or she does not see that function in tabs and on screens where it might otherwise be available. In a few cases where the function cannot be made invisible, it is disabled (grayed out).
If you remove a user's permission for a whole section of TrafficLIVE, that menu item disappears from the menu navigation for that user.
- You can use
Set Multiple Permissions to set all of the permissions that appear below a gray section header (for example, My Traffic, Correspondence, and so on) at the same time by selecting the check box on the gray section header.
- You can use
Selecting Permissions for Multiple Users to set permissions for more than one user by selecting multiple users from the list on the left, using
Shift-Click or
Ctrl-Click on a Windows-based computer or
Shift / CMD-Click on a Macintosh. When you edit the permissions page, those permissions are applied to all of the selected users at the same time.
