Setting user preferences
Use the User Preferences (SFMUPREF) page to select the settings you want to use when you sign in to Shop Floor Manager. The User Preferences selected are saved only for the user currently signed in to SFM. Each user’s settings can be unique. If you use an ID to log into a workstation and then let all the employees use this workstation, you can think of this as Workstation preferences.
Permissions to access Shop Floor Manager are based on a user’s Made2Manage permissions. If a user has all permissions, or all PRODAT permissions, they automatically have permissions to all the SFM pages.
