User Profile & Settings
Personalize & Optimize
- Contact & Security: Manage your contact information and security settings with ease.
- Default Landing Page: Choose what you see first when you log in; the Catalog is the default.
- Multi-Facility Users: If you access multiple facilities, set a primary facility and default shipping address for efficiency.
- Shipping Preferences: We suggest Ground Shipping as your default to avoid extra costs, but you can always change it at checkout.
Notification Control
- Email & SMS Alerts: Customize your notifications for order confirmations, changes, and tracking.
- Tailored Alerts: Toggle individual notification types on or off, though some, like return reminders, can't be disabled.
- Extra Recipients: Add more email recipients (e.g., for receiving departments) to ensure everyone gets timely updates.
Payment & POs
