The Employee Form has several tabs that must be updated for each Central Station Operator or Supervisor.

Each Employee who will be performing Central Station Operator duties must be entered as an Employee.
They also must have the correct Employee Type selected.

Employee Form - Operator Type selected on Personal tab

 

Type - Using the Drop-Down Selection List provided, Choose the appropriate Type classification.
Operator - for Employees who perform Central Station Monitoring processing.
All - for Employees who are involved in all phases of the business, including Central Station Monitoring processing.

 

Security tab - The Security Tab on the Employee Form is used to establish certain Access Rights for the Employee.
Because Operators are required to access specific Central Station Monitoring Information, the Security tab will provide the means for the System Administrator to set each applicable Employees's access rights for these functions.
If you are not logged in as a System Administrator, you will not be able to add, delete or modify the Security information nor assign access and functionality permissions shown within the Security Tab.
To establish or modify an Employee's Security and access rights, open the Employee Form, retrieve the appropriate Employee's record and enter the required information.
