Note: if you do not plan on using all the forms in the Badger TraCS suite, you can limit the forms available to users by removing the All Forms access level and adding each form’s access level individually.

Note: The TraCS Supervisor access level is the access level that allows the office administrative staff to perform their duties. This is only the name of the access level and it does not necessary indicate that these individuals are supervisors within your organization.
