Originators (Users)
A 24 character (alphabetic and/or numeric) code to identify an authorised user of SmartAsset.
Originators are created by the system administrator. An originator name, network and authorisation level are assigned to the code. When accessing SmartAsset, the assigned originator network which must match a user's computer credentials provides access. The authorisation level is used to restrict access to specific SmartAsset functions.
Any person requiring access to SmartAsset desktop, Browser or Mobile App or a person who is to be assigned to a maintenance task must be created as an Originator.

Please note, that when new codes are saved they are placed at the bottom of the list until the form has been refreshed.
If an Originator is associated with multiple shops for work related tasks, they can be included in the Shop String by replacing the % character.
To include multiple shops, the code must be entered separated by a comma as such: ELEW,MECH,PS etc.
This function is important for job management security.
