REACH
Delivery allows for "User Groups" within a corporation to be
defined. These groups can be considered to be
sub-companies e.g. Holding company, Subsidiary company,
country specific company etc or departments e.g. finance,
compliance, warehouse, etc. It is completely up to
the users of REACH Delivery as to how they wish to use
"User Groups".
If
groups are defined then they can provide an
automated distribution list capability.
Further
to this a support structure is required within a
company. This requires the ability for a user to have a
supervisor (in REACH Delivery this role is defined as
the administrator). Each user is assigned an
administrator when their account is created.
The
company area function also allows the concept of merging
companies whereby the system administrator will be able
to merge two companies by adding one company as an
‘area’ in another company.
The
"Manage User Groups" functionality displays the
following screen, with the section showing (<company>)
showing the full "tree" diagram for all the company
areas.

The icons on the screen have the following
functionality. Please click on the link to jump to
a more detailed explanation of the function.
