Adding your own SPECIAL items and treatments
Specials may be assigned a quantity in the FRAME-IT screen, by right clicking. Specials can be priced by
Square Inch, UI, or Unit. (by labor or materials) A ”cost x markup” formula can be used, to calculate
retail. A minimum fee can be specified, and a pop up reminder box can be programmed for each item. A
maximum size can be specified, and a surcharge for oversized items above 72UI.

How to add a restricted access account for an employee
Within LifeSaver, you can give the employee their own login ID which has its own access/security rules.
From the main menu:
-Click CONFIGURE
-Click FILE ASSIGN PASSWORDS→
-From this screen you can set up a new user ID and password, and can check off which permissions they
are allowed. (which reports they can run, etc) If you click "employee", it will pre-configure it for the most
common set of non supervisory permissions. That may be good as a starting point.
