Global Priority Parameters

See also: Menu Bar And Toolbar Definition

This interface provides the Autoline system with the functionality to check the users priority from within the Mercedes-Benz Manufacturers System module against the priority the user has within the corresponding Autoline module. The menu or menu item will not be available for the user if the users priority in the corresponding module is less than the priority required.

During the Global priority check an extra check is actioned if the module to check is SM (Stock Management) or SO (Point of Sale).

Users with enough priority on both modules and the user parameter is set to be a P (Parts user), will only have the ‘Parts - menu’ available.

Users with enough priority on both modules and the user parameter set to be a S (Service user) will only have the ‘Service - menu’ available.

Users with enough priority on both modules and the user parameter set to be B (Both) will be able to access Manufacturer Systems.

If no user parameter is setup for a user the normal global priority check will be done and the extra check on parts or service user will be skipped.

Note: To be able to check the available menu items within the Mercedes Benz Manufacturers Systems menus, the menu items are supplied with a menu switch. Autoline uses the menu switch to determine if the item is available or not and against which module the user priority has to be checked.
