The suggested setup is as follows.

To begin configuration
Navigate to:

- The first step is to setup User Profiles (similar to our user security in Idealpos).
- Giving the ability to use or not use certain feature of focus. To do this.

- See the images below for setting the Four Profiles
- Profile 1 is already setup with all the boxes ticked. Ensure all boxes are checked.
Profile 1 – Administrator Profile
- Push this Button to Create a new Profile
Profile 2 – Operator Profile
- This is the Operator Profile it allows them to do what they need without the ability to Reset Dispensers.
Profile 3 Manager Profile
- This is the Manager Profile it allows them to do what they need without the ability to do pump resets.
Profile 4 Reset Dispenser
- This is the Dispenser Reset Profile it allows them to do nothing else apart from Reset Dispensers
- The reason behind Profile 4 is the ability to make sure the pumps are not being reset by anyone using their normal login. Any Resets that are performed will appear in the Audit Viewer Logs.
- You can export the Audit file to excel and do a filter to find the resets.
