The Web Administration tool set is scheduled for v7.5.3 on-premise release this summer. Great! But…what exactly is it? When we refer to “administration tools” for Sage SalesLogix LAN, it usually means one of two things:

Features accessible from within the SalesLogix Client interface; a user must have appropriate permissions (function security) to see these features: (Click image to enlarge)
Features only accessible from within the LAN Administrator interface; a user must be logged on as “admin” to see these features: (Click image to enlarge)

Now, when we talk about “administration tools” for Sage SalesLogix Web, we actually combine both of these definitions! First, users with appropriate admin permissions can access the Web Administrator from the same point of entry that they use to access other end user features in the SalesLogix Web Client. Second, in addition to providing common list management functions (competitors, lead sources, products, pick lists, literature items, packages), the Web Administration tool set also includes functions that were previously only available to the designated admin user (users, departments, teams, roles*).

*New functions available only for Sage SalesLogix Web. Roles allow/restrict user access to certain Web Client or Web Administration features using secured actions—similar to “Function Security” for LAN Client users.

Everyone here is looking forward to this release making for very cool summer in Scottsdale!
