The fields most used by RADAR are circled.

Field	Description
Show Costs on Orders	Use this parameter to establish, by user, who can view product costs in certain programs. Enter Y to allow costs to show on Order Entry. Optionally, enter N to indicate that costs or gross profit statistics should not be displayed to this user on Order Entry. This option affects the Order Entry, Order Change, Order Inquiry, and Invoice Inquiry Screens. Furthermore, prices on POs and transfers will not display while performing searches. If you enter an N in this field and the Cost field, the user is restricted to only running X by Y reports in customer version.
Limit to Business Entity	Business Entities are groupings of companies, branches, and/or cost centers. For example, you can group all your branches in one region into a business entity. Or you can create a business entity by product such as grouping ceramic tile and wood products. Entering a Business Entity code in the Limit to Business Entity field causes that business entity code to appear in any application that has the business entity parameter. This currently includes X by Y reports. If you leave the Limit to Business Entity field blank, the user has access to all the business entity records.
Limit To Salesperson#	If a number is entered into this field, then the user is restricted to records related only to the corresponding salesperson. A record is considered to be related to a salesperson if the record itself or its related Billto file record contains that salesperson's number or related salesperson listed in the Salesperson Relationship File.

For detailed information on all the settings, refer to the Navigator Menu (Menu option NAV)

RADAR Web Access (Option W)

RADAR Web Control Panel (Option Y)

These settings are the same settings that establish operator defaults and restrictions based on the users work station ID. The difference is that these settings relate to a user ID instead of a workstation, and only affect the users use of Kerridge's web based applications. Essentially these settings enable user-based web applications to use restrictions and settings normally associated with a work station.
