Quantum VS Help: File Maintenance |
A Web Registration is a record enabling a 'prospective' web customer to register as a confirmed Web User so they may place orders with you via your Quantum VS eBusiness website. The 'prospective' Web User may be an existing customer (e.g. a Cash Account customer) or an entirely new customer. The Web Registration set-up and operation procedure is described below.
Note: For further details see Quantum VS eBusiness Integration.
The Web Registration set-up and operation procedure is as follows:
1. A 'Registration Request' Web Widget, which enables 'prospective' Web Users to register their details, is placed within the appropriate web page of your Quantum VS eBusiness website.
2. The 'prospective' Web User enters their details via the above page of your website, with the intention of registering as a Web User so that they may place orders online.
3. These details are passed to the back office server and the corresponding message handler creates the Web Registration record in Quantum VS.
4. The Web Registration record is then retrieved - using the Finder - in Quantum VS. On the Web Registration record the registrant's Status field is initially set to 'Requested' (i.e. Web User status has been requested).
5. At a later time/date an administrator or credit controller will determine whether the registrant can be granted Web User status. They will retrieve the Web Registration record in Quantum VS and either:
Confirm Web Registration: by clicking Confirm User.
Or: Deny Web Registration: by making the record Amendable and resetting the Status field to 'Not Allowed'.
Note: Web Registration records may not be deleted.
6. When the Web Registration record is Confirmed, a new Web User record is displayed, featuring the registrant's details. Once the new Web User record has been saved, the user/company becomes a registered Web User and may place orders via your Quantum VS eBusiness website.
The procedure for Confirming - or denying - a Web Registration, and/or editing fields as required, is described in Confirming, Editing And Denying Web Registrations.
