Web Host Operator

The Operator form contains all the settings for an individual Collect! user. These settings control many aspects of the particular operator's access to Collect!


Edit Operator

Name

This is the name or alias of the Operator. This is printed on many letter/report templates.

ID

This is the short identification code assigned to the Operator or Sales Team. This ID is used to set every parameter in Collect! that relates to the operator. The ID that you choose for each Operator must be UNIQUE.

User Level

This is the level of the User. This can range from a Junior Collector with very limited access rights, to a System Manager who has complete control over Collect!

Useful Note You should only use User Level 99 for administrative purposes. Assigning a User Level 99 may result in losing functionality that relies on Collect!'s access rights system.

Useful Note The value in this field may be used in contact plans to trigger events based on the Debtor Operator's User Level.

Account Type

The selection in this field controls which form the operator will see upon starting Collect!. Client types will start on their dashboard and operator types will start on the WIP list.

Collector

An operator with this setting will see the Work In Progress form as soon as they sign into Collect!. This is useful for collectors to be ready to work their accounts as soon as they sign on.

Client

When you select user level 98, you will notice that the Job Title field is now displaying "Client #." You must enter a valid Client Number for this operator. It should be the Client Number for the accounts you want this operator to see. If you leave the Client # blank, Collect! will not allow the Client operator to sign into Collect!.

It should be the Client Number for the accounts you want this operator to see. If you leave the Client # blank, Collect! will not allow the Client operator to sign into Collect!.

This is tied into a hierarchical client ownership system. If the Client # you enter owns other clients, they will also be visible to this particular operator through the Browse Debtors and Find By menus. All other accounts will not be visible.
