The system has two main user groups:

Common Admin Tasks

Viewing Lists

All list views in the system include:
  • Sorting: Click column headers to sort by that field
  • Pagination: Navigate through pages using Previous/Next links
  • Counter: Shows current page and total pages
  • Status Indicators: Color-coded status (green for active, red for inactive)

Managing Records

Most record lists provide action icons:
  • Edit Icon: Modify record details
  • Delete Icon: Remove the record (with confirmation prompt)
  • View Icon: See detailed information
  • Status Toggle: Activate or deactivate records

Flash Messages

The system displays feedback messages after actions:
  • Green messages: Successful operations
  • Red messages: Errors or failed operations
Messages appear at the top of the page and automatically dismiss.

Tips for Effective Use

Administrators can manage permissions for individual users through the permission system in users/permission/{user_id}.
Vendor users can only see and manage data for their assigned store location (locale_id_local).
Always confirm delete operations carefully - deleted records cannot be recovered.

Password Management

Users can change their password through the users/edit_pass/{id} endpoint:
1

Enter Current Password

Verify your identity by entering your current password.
2

Enter New Password

Choose a new password (4-10 characters).
3

Confirm New Password

Re-enter the new password to prevent typos.
4

Save Changes

Submit the form to update your password.
