Switching locations

rmason

Can you switch locations without logging out (L001) and then logging back in (L002)?

Yes.  Open another instance of Sitelink Web Edition and log in with the other location.  As long as the corporate code is the same, you can have multiple locations open at the same time.

Thanks!:)

I wish we could customize different locations with different colors.  We also have problems with a different location popping up while working in the other one.  All of a sudden you are working in the other location.  Auto pop up might have something to do with refreshing?

If I'm not mistaken there is a way to customize SL for each user. I thought it was one of those hidden features. Maybe someone will know if I'am correct

There's no "custom" view option I am aware of and i've gone thru every hidden menu they have unless they kept some hidden off of their own hidden button list I was given by a sitelink higher up a few years ago. 

As far as the pop up, it's most likely when your login "times out", disable that feature and it should stop the other one from popping up, the default is 15 minutes I believe.

I'm thinking of "Shift-Control-Q = Form Backcolor and Button Backcolor

Sadly, it goes away every time you close Sitelink! So you have to go in and change it again every time you have to do that.

@Faye Thanks!  Adding that to the list.

Just noticed that.  So what is the purpose of it?  I didn't find it extremely helpful.  I would loke to change the color on the top not just the background in main center area.

We too think customizing colors would be awesome and very helpful!  I've also made a request a couple times to Sitelink on that very topic.  They did teach me how to change the colors by going into "utilities"  but once you log-out and then log-back in it resets itself back to the original color.   (HEY SITELINK!... let us choose and pick our own colors!  YES!)
