Setting Up Point of Sale Users

Updated over 3 weeks ago

The following video discusses setting up point of sale users, default locations, and point of sale profiles in RPS for effective management and organization.

Setting Up Point of Sale Users, Default Locations, and Profiles

Key Steps:

  1. Setting Default Locations:

    • Determine if the user will be working from a fixed location or multiple locations.

    • For users working from a fixed location, set up a default location to streamline order processing.

    • For users working across multiple locations, do not set a default location to prompt for location selection each time.

    • Access the user section in RPS, locate the user, and set the default location.

  2. Setting Default Technicians:

    • If required, set a default technician for service requests to streamline assignment.

    • Consider the workflow of assigning service requests to technicians before setting a default technician.

  3. Creating Point of Sale Users:

    • Access the point of sale user section in RPS.

    • Click on the plus sign to add a new point of sale user.

    • Select a profile for the user, matching the user setup in the user table.

  4. Setting Point of Sale Profiles:

    • Create profiles based on permissions needed for specific user groups (e.g., sales, purchasing, service).

    • Assign permissions to the profile by selecting from the list of available permissions.

    • Avoid granting unnecessary permissions; start with essential permissions and add as needed.

Cautionary Notes:

  • Avoid granting all permissions to users; it is easier to add permissions later than to remove them.

  • Carefully consider the permissions needed for each profile to maintain data security and integrity.

  • Seek assistance from support representatives for clarification on specific permissions or profile setup.

Tips for Efficiency:

  • Group users with similar permissions under common profiles to simplify management.

  • Regularly review and update permissions based on changing user roles and responsibilities.

  • Conduct training sessions to familiarize users with their assigned profiles and permissions for effective utilization.

By following these steps, you can efficiently set up point of sale users, default locations, and profiles in RPS to optimize workflow and ensure proper access control.
