💡 Best Practices

Check Permissions First

If you don’t see an operation you need, check with your administrator before troubleshooting. Permissions are server-controlled.

Use Task Notifications

Pay attention to task notifications. They alert you to pending work that needs attention.

Refresh When Needed

If permissions were recently updated, use the refresh option to reload the menu with current access.

Understand Icons

Familiarize yourself with operation icons. Each icon represents a specific warehouse function you can access.
