  1. In the User ID field, enter the ID of the user whose record you want to view or update.

  2. Enter an asterisk (*) in any of the following fields in the Options section to define special functions for the user record:

Option

Description

Remote Logon OK

Authorizes the user to log in using a modem.

Blocks the user from being listed on the Daily Planner or using the Daily Schedule screen. Use this option for customer and virtual User IDs.

Auto UET Message

  • Blank – Accepts the system default set in the Auto UET Message Display control maintenance record.

  • Y – Overrides the system default and has the system send a message.

  • N – Overrides the system default and has the system not send a message.

If the Change OS Password When Eclipse Password Is Change control maintenance record is set to "P" (prompt), and if the user whose Eclipse password has expired is not flagged to bypass the Eclipse Login, the user is prompted to change their OS password when they attempt to create a new Eclipse password in Password Maintenance. If changing a password in System Maintenance/Change Password, the user selects whether to change the OS password.

Credit Manager

Identifies the user as a credit manager. Any program that prompts for a credit manager will check this field in the user's record.

No Job Queues

Disables the user from being added to new trackers, tracker appends, or as the next or last user on a tracker. For example, if an employee leaves your company, set this flag to ensure they are not added to future trackers.
