employee link control usage documentation

Step 1: Creating fulfillment staff

1. Log into X-cart as an administrator.
2. In the management menu click the users link.
3. Now click the Create administrator profile.
4. Fill in the appropriate information for your employee. In the membership dropdown choose fulfillment staff and click submit

Congratulations! You now have a fulfillment staff member.

Step 2: Adding Linkable Pages

This is perhaps the easiest step in the process. You will notice since you installed the employee link control module that you have a box in the upper left that says Quick Link Add. In that box there is a link that says "Add This Page to Employee links". Whenever you are in an admin page that you may want to provide employee access to simply click this link. Doing this will open the add employee links page with the majority of the add link information already in the text fields. The only field you will need to enter is the "Link Name" for this you can put the whatever makes sense to you. Once this is done simply click the "Add" button and you are done!
It should be noted this step does not provide any access to this page, it simply adds the current page to a list of pages that may have employee access provided to them.

Step 3: Adding links to fulfillment staff

2. In the management menu click users
3. In this section click Employee Priveleges
  You should see a list of your fulfillment employees as well as a list of possible permissions.

5. Granting Permissions
   1. Choose the permission you wish to add in the permissions menu, then click "set permissions".
      (If you followed the example you should see at least a "Categories" option)
     You have now given your employee access to the selected admin link. The added permission should appear next to the employee in the permissions column.
