Address on Dispatch Form

You are asked if you want to print the member's address on the dispatch form.



   +Print Member Address on Dispatch Form+ 
   |  Yes                                |

Select "No" if you do NOT want the address printed.

Steward Skill Restriction

You are asked if skill additions/deletions for members who are stewards are to be held for 30 business days before they become effective.

If you select "Yes", all skill code additions/deletions to members who are found to be stewards (those members who have been assigned skill codes flagged as steward skills) will be held for 30 business days before those skill additions/deletions will be effective. This means that the member will NOT have those skills for referral/dispatch, etc. until the 30 business days have passed. For example: if you assign a steward skill to a member and later want to add or delete a skill, that add/delete will not be processed (become effective) for 30 business days.

If you select "No", all skill additions/deletions (including skills flagged as steward skills) will be immediately effective.



   Are skill additions/deletions for members 
   who are stewards held for 30 days before 
   they are effective? 
   +--------+ 
   |  Yes   | 
   |  No    | 
   +--------+ 

Select "Yes" if skill additions/deletions for members who are stewards are to be held for 30 days before they are effective.

Select "No" if skill additions/deletions are not to be held for 30 days before they become effective.

If you are changing steward skill restrict from "Yes" to "No" and no longer want skill code changes to be delayed by 30 days, ULTRA checks to see if the affiliate has any pending skill changes, and you are asked if you want to process the pending changes or delete the changes.

    +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ 

Select "PROCESS" to process the pending skill code changes and make them effective immediately.

Chapter 125
DROPUNABLE - Drop Unable-to-Reach Setup

The DROPUNABLE - Drop Unable-to-Reach Setup menu option is used by affiliates to setup whether they want members, who they have been unable to reach on job referral, dropped from out of work lists.

If members who cannot be reached, are to be dropped from out of work lists, you are asked how many consecutive days before the member can be dropped from the work lists.

Also, if a member is on multiple out of work lists, and they cannot be reached when called from one of the lists, you can block other calls from other lists for the day.

Select the DROPUNABLE menu option to update the drop "unable to reach" members flag, and set up the consecutive days number.
