Tracker is a very versatile program with multiple facets to it. As such, it would be natural that you would want some information kept confidential or have limited access to it. This is where the Tracker security setup comes in. Below is a list, detailing what each item in the security setup will do. You can reach this list from the main menu, navigate to the Administration drop-down menu, and then go to Security Setup.
From this menu, you can provide or limit access to certain parts of Tracker for any user at your place of business. This area is also where you can create additional Tracker logins by clicking on the new button, on the right-hand side, and filling in a username and password. Then you can pick and choose what aspects of Tracker this user has access to.
- Towing Invoices - Allows access to Add, Recall, and Dispatch. However, this setting does not deny reports regarding invoices.
