Tip of the Month

Contextual Help for Alternates Page

The “Alternates” feature allows a position defined at model level to be overridden by a replacement position at the model level or at the account level. To help you understand the alternates feature and the various combinations of the alternate rules, the platform provides an “Alternates Guide” that you can view directly from both alternate entry screen and edit screen without having to refer to an offline document when setting up alternates.
