Salespeople

Marlin GTX enables salespeople to be recorded for reporting and auditing purposes.

Whenever a booking or transaction is added, a salesperson can be associated with the operation, which is then reflected in the relevant sales and booking reports.

whenever there is a salesperson field, something must be selected. Defaults can be set though, eg for if 1 person always uses a particular pc

If salesperson passwords are enabled, each salesperson will create their own individual password, which is used to validate various operations, and recorded in the system audit logs.

The Salesperson Maintenance window will open, showing a list of active salespeople within the GTX system.

In the Salesperson Password textbox, enter the password the salesperson will use to validate their activity within GTX.

Confirm the password by re-entering it in the Retype Password textbox below.

If customer portal integration is enabled, use the Portal Access Level dropdown to set the salesperson's permissions when logging into the customer portal.

I think this could do with an explanation, selecting an option lower down the list basically includes the permissions above it.

If customer portal integration is enabled, enter the password the salesperson will use to log into the customer portal in the Portal Password textbox below.
