Use of HTML Tags

Some fields within PCR-360 allow Users to input HTML tags to make displaying that information a richer experience for those that are expected to consume it. For more information on HTML tag usage, please see the wiki entry for it.

GLA Permissions

The 'GLA Permissions' tab will allow a User to limit a Contact to be associated with specific GLAs for greater administrative control. Whatever GLA Permissions are set here are the GLA(s) that the Contact will have access to via the CustomerCenter.

When a Contact is assigned as a Coordinator for a Department, the Contact inherits the Department's GLA Permissions.

The Contact GLA Permissions are the ones used, even for Coordinators. If no Contact Permissions are present, then the Coordinator's Departments' GLA Permissions will be used.

Coordinators

Coordinators or Billing Coordinators is a special classification for a User within PCR-360 who has the responsibility to review Bills for their Department to ensure accuracy before that Bill is Finalized. These Users can be directly sent a message containing the Bill after it is generated.

When a Contact is a Coordinator for a Department the Contact inherits the Department's GLA Permissions.

The Contact GLA Permissions are the ones used, even for Coordinators. If no Contact Permissions are present, then the Coordinator's Departments' GLA Permissions will be used.
