Article Summary

LightSpeed VT has the ability to pass information to an External or 3rd Party system such as a CMS. The only requisite for this is that your CMS can receive information from LightSpeed VT and your LightSpeed VT system is set up to send such information. Below is a list of necessary steps in order to achieve this communication.

1. Create a user, or edit an existing one. (If editing already, skip to step 2)

a) Go to the correct location, by clicking the Super User Dashboard, then click “103 Location Management”.

b) Select your system, then click “Generate Report”, and then choose the appropriate location for the user.

c) Click the side bar menu, click “Management Tools”, and then click “Manage Users”.
