❑Understanding the relationship between Dealers, Sub Dealers, and Dealer Users:
A.Dealers may have any number of Sub Dealers
1.The Central Station Data section in the Subscriber Edit View has a Dealer field in which the Subscriber may be assigned to any previously defined Dealer
2.Once the Dealer is selected in the Central Station Data section, in the associated Sub Dealer field, only those Sub Dealers previously identified for this Dealer will be listed in the Drop-Down Selection List for the Sub Dealer field
B.Dealer User may be provided access to the Subscribers assigned to any previously defined Dealer

C.When identifying the Dealers and Sub Dealers for which the Dealer User has access rights (which are identified in the Access section of the Dealer Users Form):
1.Only assign a Dealer, and the Dealer User will have access to all of that Dealer's Subscribers (whether or not those Subscribers are also assigned to a Sub Dealer of that Dealer in the Central Station Data section)
2.Assign both a Dealer and one of its Sub Dealers and the Dealer User will only have access to that specific Sub Dealer's Subscribers
