Summary

A user group may be set up as a "Privacy Group" and used to restrict access to tasks and appointments to only authorised users.

More Information

Go to " Reports & Settings Maintenance Options System Administrator Groups, Types and Categories Add or Edit Privacy Groups".

  • Here you may amend, create or remove user groups.
    • To create a new group, click on [Add] or press <F6>.
    • Enter a three character code for the group, and on the "Details" tab a 'Description' of the group's purpose.
    • On the [Settings] tab you need to assign the group a 'Category' and say which users are members of this group.
    • Against "Category" pick a category for the group. As you're setting up a privacy group, you should choose one which has it's "Privacy" flag checked. This appears on the [Settings] tab of the category's properties.
The 'General Privacy' category 'PRV' is issued as standard and should suit in most cases here.

    • Click [Add] to find existing users to join the group, and [Remove] to remove users from the group.
