Defining Sites and Warehouses

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

HireTrack NX is normally supplied as a single site program, however a single site can have several Warehouses attached. Sites are considered "financial centers" with their own rules, financials (invoices & purchase orders, etc.), and users. Warehouses are physical locations that are part of a site. To add sites you need to contact Navigator Systems to purchase additional site licenses, however adding Warehouses for a site is a simple process.
