Overview

In some case you may want to lock down or completely hide the price fields on the Weighbridge. This can be accomplished to varying degrees:

  • The price fields can be completed hidden for everyone

  • The price fields can be completely hidden for specific users

  • The price fields can be greyed and locked for everyone


Hide the Price Fields for ALL users

  1. Go to Administration>Settings>Weighbridge

  2. Located and Enable the "Hide Job price Values" option

  3. Click Save

The price fields will be completely hidden on all Weighbridge jobs for all users


Hide the Price Fields for SPECIFIC users

Note: The "Hide Job price Values" in Settings>Weighbridge must be disabled in order for this option to work correctly

  1. Go to Administration>Users

  2. Select the user in question

  3. Click on the Permissions tab

  4. Disable the "View Prices in Weighbridge" option

  5. Click Save

That user will now be unable to see the price fields on all Weighbridge tickets as below.

Lock the Price Field for all Users

Unlike the above methods this will make the price field visible to all users but they will also be locked. This means that everyone will be able to see the prices, but not edit them.

This option can be used as a "middle ground" as it allows the weighbridge operators to see if a zero price has pulled through so they can make the relevant adjustments to the product/outlet etc before completing the job.

Note: The "Hide Job price Values" in Settings>Weighbridge must be disabled in order for this option to work correctly. And All users must have the "View Prices in Weighbridge" option enabled in their user profiles

  1. Go to Administration>Settings>Weighbridge

  2. Located and disable the "Enable Price Fields" option

  3. Click Save

Once this is done the price fields will be visible but greyed out for all users, as below.
