You may have several suppliers set up in your system. If your profile allows it, you can change between the suppliers and directly affect the lookup results display.

1. Start User Setup.

   Double-click the LaserCat 3 User Setup Icon on the desktop.

   If you do not have the icon on your desktop, contact your System Administrator.

2. Select which user profile to edit.

   The first screen in the User Setup program lets you choose which user profile to edit.  You can

   • Set default options for new users.

     Click Set Defaults for New Users. Click Continue.

      

   • Change default options for all users.

     Click Change Default for All Users. Click Continue.

      

      

      

   • Set options for a specific user.

     Click Set Options for User. Click the drop-down box arrow. Click the user profile you want to edit.  For example, fred.smith. Click Continue.

     The Set Options for USERNAME screen opens.

5. Make any other edits to the user profile.

6. Click OK.

7. Click Exit.

8. Restart the LaserCat 3 application.

You must restart the LaserCat 3 application in order for the changes to take effect.  If you are setting options for another user, you must inform that user to restart the application.  Otherwise, the user will not see the changes.

If the profile for a user has Allow user to change suppliers cleared, the default supplier will be the only supplier available to that user.
