Customer Code Warning

When the 3-letter customer code setting has been completed, the release notes will be filtered, and you will see the notes that are relevant to you as a client. This warning does not stop you from viewing all release notes, only the ones that are filtered for your customer code.

This will not stop you from viewing all Release Notes., rather the notes will not be filtered, and release notes will be displayed.

Completing 3-Letter Customer Code Settings

To avoid encountering the Customer Code warning when viewing release notes, you will need to complete the Customer 3-Letter Code field in the DeployEZ settings. The 3-Letter Code is available in all client databases, but because DeployEZ can handle multiple databases situations may arise where the code has not been entered in a secondary or tertiary database.

NOTE: To complete this section, you will need to know what your three (3) letter customer code is. If you do not know this code, contact customer support for assistance.

To complete the Customer Code setting…

1. In the DeployEZ interface, double click on the large DeployEZ logo
2. In the DeployEZ Parameter screen, locate the Customer Code field.
3. Click in the field and enter your 3-letter customer code; note that the field is not case sensitive.
4. Click Save.
5. Click Exit to return to the main screen.
