GDX Company Specific Parameters

Warning: Ford REACT requires a significant amount of configuration. It is vitally important that both the GDX company specific parameters and the Ford REACT parameters are set up correctly, as this directly affects the integrity of the data. For this reason, they should be set up by the dealer or by a consultant.

Note: Most of the GDX parameters are filled in for you and cannot be modified.

To view and edit GDX parameters:

  1. From the FORD OPERATIONS MENU select the REACT extract option and a POS company if prompted.

    The Ford REACT extract form is displayed.

  2. From the File menu select the Parameters option or click the Parameters.gif Edit parameters button.

    The GDX Company Specific Parameters form is displayed.
