To create a generic login and
password:You can set up your web site to allow anonymous users to browse the products and information available there. When this feature is enabled, the Authorization page has a Create a New Account button. Use two control maintenance records to customize how the button works:
If Enable WOE Anonymous Logins is set to Y, clicking the button provides a generic login and password used to access your site. The anonymous user can search your product database and add items to a cart. When the user clicks Checkout, the Create a New Account page displays.
If Enable WOE Anonymous Logins & Gather New Acct Info Up Front is also set to Y, clicking the button immediately displays the Create a New Account page. The user must create a new account to gain further access to your site.
The Create a New Account page prompts users to enter name, address, telephone, and e-mail information. The users also create login and password entries to access the site in the future. After any users with new accounts log in, or click the Start New Order button, they are no longer anonymous; any subsequent orders use the new account.

In the Branch Cash Acct, Bill To, and Job or Ship To fields, enter an asterisk (*).
