Steps to activate a user

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to autoecat.com
  2. Click on the sponsor login logo
  3. Log in with your admin credentials
  4. In the first screen, you are presented with a number of options. Dealer Preferences will allow you to maintain any users currently set up for remote ordering, and Jobber Preferences will list any users not yet activated for remote ordering, but that are set up in your A/R system in Counterpoint. Click Jobber Preferences to add a customer.
  5. Scroll through the listing, and click on the customer you wish to activate
  6. Set up the customer as desired. The required settings are:
    1. Order Branch set to the default order branch of the customer
    2. Counterman No set to your web counterman number
    3. Web access from Counterpoint set to NO
    4. Purchasing Allowed set to YES
