The Dialer Operator selects OK and Collect! immediately displays the Debtor related to the file number. The effect of the settings shown on the Operator form in this sample are explained in further detail below.

Dialer Operator Details

In the Operator Detail tab:

The Messaging is set to NORMAL. This means Collect! will prompt twice for most important functions, such as deleting forms.

Printing is set to DEVICE CONTEXT. In other words, Collect! will use printer driver information when sending report jobs to the printer.

The Automatic Recalc switch tells Collect! to automatically recalc any Active debtor when the account is opened.

The Notes color field is selected to LT. PURPLE. Any notes lines visible when looking at a debtor will be displayed in this light amber color for note lines with this operator's ID stamp (DIA). The Notes color is visible before opening the Debtor Notes.

Security Settings for the Dialer Operator

The User Level 60 has been assigned. This greatly restricts what this operator can access in Collect!. Most fields on the Debtor form will be greyed out. The user may view the contents of these fields but cannot change them.

There are many other settings in Operator Security that relate to passwords, to account access control and to special Web Host settings. Press F1 for details about these fields.
