Quantum VS Help: File Maintenance |
A Web Operator is a member of staff who is allowed to log in to a Quantum VS eBusiness website and - if authorised - view the product catalogue, view/amend prices, and place orders and convert quotes on behalf of the customer. This can be achieved by creating a Web Operator record which controls access to certain features and enables the staff member to access a designated Quantum VS eBusiness website.
