Configuring an Employee (Named User or Kiosk User)

A cross-reference between the employee and their user profile is established on the Employees form to allow an employee to access Factory Track using their own profile. This allows the employee to log into Factory Track and perform transactions based on the Factory Track role specified in their user profile. Employees that are not configured as “Named Users” (Kiosk Users) access Factory Track through Console User Profiles.
