Preventing users from editing profile data accessed from scroll windows

A profile is a record that contains basic information relevant to your company’s relationship with an entity, such as a driver, trailer or company.

In TMW Operations, you can access profiles from:

  • A scroll window by selecting a record and then clicking the Profile button

  • A grid or a data entry window by right-clicking the entity’s ID and then selecting View Profile from the shortcut menu

  • The Tools > Profiles menu

By default, in TMW Operations you can:

  • View profile information through the various profile windows

  • Create or edit profiles only if you have been granted access to the File Maintenance application in TMWSuite

You can use the [.NetOperations]ProfileEditDisabled setting in your TTS50 to prevent users in TMW Operations from creating or editing profiles accessed from a scroll window, grid, or data entry window.

This setting does not affect profiles accessed directly in their profile windows. You view them by selecting Tools > Profiles and then selecting the individual profile type. You can restrict users from accessing the profile windows by removing the Profiles command from the Tools menu.
