System Overview

System Administration covers the platform-level records that are not owned by any single warehouse subject: who your Merchants are, which Warehouses you run, who may log in and what they may see, and where configuration comes from.

The Admin System menu is much larger than this section. Most of its entries are the setup screens for a subject documented elsewhere - Slot Types and Slotting Rules under Warehouse Setup, Product Profiles and Regulations under Catalog & Products, Shipping Accounts and Custom Fields under Shipping & Fulfillment. To find the page behind a specific menu item, use the Menu Guide.

Configuration

• Configuration Basics - where settings live and how to reach them.
• Configuration Scope - how a setting inherits from the default down to a Warehouse or Merchant.
• Enumerations - the allowed values for fields referenced by imports, scripts and integrations.

Merchants and warehouses

• Merchants and Brands - the separate pools of Products, Orders and inventory you fulfill for.
• Warehouses - the physical sites that operate independently of each other.
• Technical Contact - who ShipStream notifies about urgent error conditions.

Staff and access

• User Management - Organization Users and Client Users, and how each is created.
• User Roles and User Groups - what a user may do, and which Warehouses and Merchants they may do it in.
• Login via Badge and Social Login - faster and single-sign-on alternatives to a password.
• Time Tracking for Administrators and for Staff - recording and reporting on the task each staff user is engaged in.

Data protection

• Protected Customer Data - how ShipStream restricts and audits access to your customers' personal information.
