Holiday Promotion Planning
It never fails. As soon as everyone starts settling into summer, it seems like it’s time for back-to-school shopping! And the sunscreen still has the packaging on it!
As much as we’d like to think we’re in complete control, time stops for no one. This is especially true when planning marketing promotions well in advance for the fall season as well as the all-important holiday season. A well-planned promotion can make the difference between break-even or a huge return, so it’s important to really think about all aspects of promotion planning and give each promotion some brain power.

Q. |
When I create a new employee how can I assign a pin number and level of security? |
A. |
Pretty easy, and very important for maintaining control over the system.
- Go to Employees
- Select your employee alias from the drop down list
- Select Pin. Enter the new pin number. Re-enter pin to confirm
- Go to Setup / Configuration / Security
- The new employee will be under unassigned
- Click on the drag bar to select the employee. Drag the employee to the relevant security level.
- Select done. Employee will now have a pin number and the access level assigned.
Remember to do this when adding a new employee!
