Using a QAD CSS Web Site

QAD CSS administrators control who can log in to a QAD CSS Web site by enabling or disabling user records. Administrators establish users and set up personal IDs, passwords, contact information, and preferences. Administrators also set up security that controls user access to QAD CSS functions at the site.

Note: If you are implementing a B2C Web order-entry system, you probably do not require users to log in, since accounts are typically not created until the user is ready to actually place an order.

See Implementation Guide: QAD Customer Self Service for details about setting up and managing B2C and B2B order-entry scenarios.

User Login illustrates how the user is prompted during login. This page, including the message content, can be customized.

User Login

When a user is associated with more than one customer, a customer selection screen displays after the user login.

User Login with Customer Selection

The customer selection screen doubles as a transitional welcome page. Both the login and this screen can appear integrated with a corporate home site.

Note: During implementation, you can change the wording on this screen or integrate the sign-in features directly on a corporate home page.

After logging in, users are taken to their respective home page as defined in User Maintenance.
