Index of Domain Settings
Your website domain is your Steelhead environment. The many settings on this page will affect the way the site is used by everyone in your company. Only administrative users should have permissions to access or modify Domain Settings. To learn how this is done, see the User Permissions FAQ page, or the more extensive User Permissions Index.
Company Contact Info
This menu interface on the top left of the page is where you can enter the phone number, email address, and business address of your company. Additionally, you can edit the domain name and avatar to customize the layout as preferred. This data can be displayed on Packing Slips, Invoices, and other documents.
Integrations and Downloads
This menu interface on the top right of the page is where you can enter connection information to other websites, for things such as your accounting software. The buttons on the bottom of the menu will allow you to View GL Accounts, Configure PDF Templates, Configure Document Numbers, View Tax Codes, View Tax Rates, View Sales Tax Schedules, and Unlock Devices.
Unlock Devices:
This button will allow you to master unlock any devices that have been saved to this domain, however this option will never show any devices that are always unlocked/logged in, like the screen showing the plant Dashboard.
Devices will temporarily lock when 5 incorrect pins or passwords are entered.
- The user must contact a manager who has access to Users and Domain to unlock the account or device.
- To unlock an account: Navigate to the Users page and click the “UNLOCK” button next to the user whose account is locked.
- To unlock a device: Navigate to the Domain page and click the “Unlock Devices” button and “UNLOCK” the device that is locked.
Device vs. User:
If your account is locked out, you will need to contact your admin and they will be able to unlock your account for you. If they go under the 'Users' module in Steelhead, they can find your name and select "unlock".
If it is a device that is locked out (if you are logging in using a PIN), they will need to go into the 'Domain' module and then select unlock devices.
