How is it determined which applications are active within RetailVista Mobile?

Which applications are active within RetailVista Mobile depends on two things:

1. What am I allowed to see?

2. What do I want to see?

Point 1, what am I allowed to see, is determined by the following:

• Is the correct license active for the application?

Logically, a user only sees applications for which they are licensed. If a user does not have a license for, for example, order picking, they will not see that application.

• Does the user have the correct permissions for the application?

RetailVista ERP has a permission model where a user can be assigned permissions for certain modules or functionalities. These permissions are applied everywhere. It doesn't matter if an action is performed from RetailVista or Mobile. If a user, for example, does not have permissions for sales orders, they cannot access it in the back office. Similarly, in RetailVista Mobile, the sales order application will not be available.
A user marked as an administrator is above the permission model. They have access to everything and can see and modify everything. There are no restrictions for administrators in terms of permissions.

Point 2, what do I want to see, is something that a customer can choose for themselves through the configuration of user roles:

Thus, a warehouse employee probably only wants to see modules that are relevant to their warehouse function, while a shop floor employee or a delivery person wants to see completely different applications. An administrator may only want to have certain dashboards available in terms of revenue display or statistics.

Even though they may have all the rights (point 1), it doesn't mean they want to have 30+ modules always active! By organizing user roles and assigning the appropriate applications, a customer can set up the system so that each employee (or administrator) sees the applications that are relevant to them.

Point 2 is something that requires feature CALs and is a choice made by the customer. If an administrator wants to have all possible applications available, they have that option. However, it does require more feature CALs.
