Ability to Switch Roles in NetSuite 2023.2
Switch roles in the SCM Mobile app with ease in NetSuite 2023.2. Learn the new features and functionality for better user management.
Starting in NetSuite 2023.2, users can now switch roles directly within the SCM Mobile application, enhancing flexibility and user experience. This feature allows users with multiple roles to manage their activities effectively without needing to navigate away from the app. Let's dive into how this functionality works and its implications.
Switching Roles in the SCM Mobile App
The newly introduced capability allows users to select from roles that have access to the SCM Mobile app. This is a significant enhancement for those who need to switch tasks or responsibilities frequently during their work day. Here’s how the new feature operates:
- Role Selection: When in the app, you can choose a different role from your available list. This shows a simple dropdown of your assigned roles.
- Access Control: If you select a role that does not have access to the SCM Mobile app, the system will revert to displaying only those roles that have proper access rights.
- UI Transition: Switching roles happens seamlessly without the need to log out and log back in, which saves time and minimizes disruptions.
Best Practices for Role Management
To get the most out of this new feature, consider the following best practices:
- Maintain Clear Role Definitions: Ensure that each role has a clearly defined set of permissions that aligns with organizational workflows.
- Training and Documentation: Train users on how to switch roles effectively within the SCM Mobile app. Providing documentation or quick guides can facilitate smoother transitions.
- Regular Role Audits: Conduct periodic reviews of user roles in the system to ensure they match current job functions and access needs.
Who This Affects
This feature primarily impacts:
- Administrators: Manage user roles and permissions more effectively.
- Users of the SCM Mobile app: Gain flexibility in task management.
