Using the Menu Options
You are viewing TT User Setup Version 7.17 and higher. For earlier versions, click here
Use the Menu bar to access various TT User Setup functions and windows.
Note: TT User Setup permits only one primary window to be open at any given time. For example, if you have a Users window open and you want to access the Gateway Logins window, you must first close the Users window. TT User Setup disables certain Control Panel and Menu options when a primary window is open.
Note: Use the Find Control Panel option (available on most right-click menus) to bring the control panel into focus. This is useful when other screens have overlapped the control panel.
