Uploading to UniGroup Memo Pad

 

The option to upload notes into UniGroup Memo Pad for an order is only available at the time at which the note is created within the Add Note dialog.

As described in the UniGroup Upload Setup and Administration section, the ability to access this functionality is controlled through security assigned by branch.   The Send to Van Line section will appear within the Add Note dialog when the option is available to the user.
