Overview
The Brand Dashboard feature in Canix allows Admins to restrict user access across the platform based on brand association. This is especially useful for managing multi-brand facilities, external brand representatives, or segmented responsibilities within your organization.
With Restrict Viewable Inventory, you can assign users to specific brands, limiting their visibility and actions to only the sales orders, packages, and items associated with those brands. This keeps your data secure, streamlines user workflows, and helps ensure brand reps only see what they need.
Setting It Up
1. Navigate to User Management
Go to Admin > User Management.
Select the user you'd like to restrict.
2. Assign Brand Restrictions
In the Inventory Restrictions section, toggle on Restrict Viewable Inventory.
Select the brand(s) the user should be associated with.
Save your changes.
Note: You can assign one or multiple brands per user.
What Restricted Users Can See
Once a user is restricted by brand, their experience in Canix will adjust accordingly:
Packages
Users will only see packages associated with the brand(s) assigned to them.
Even if thousands of packages exist in the facility, only the relevant ones will display.
Sales Orders
-
Users can:
View only sales orders that include items from their assigned brands.
Create sales orders only using items from their allowed brands.
Allocate packages only from their assigned brands.
An important note: if a Sales Order contains ANY items from different brands, that sales order WILL NOT be viewable to the user.
Items
Only items with the associated brand(s) will appear in their Items Table.
Non-Cannabis Inventory
Users will only see non-cannabis items linked to their brand(s).
If none exist, this section will appear empty.
Reporting
Permission Group Set Up and Overview
Brand users should have the Brand permission group applied, and only the Brand permission group.
Note - Brand Users MUST HAVE custom reporting permissions marked as "No Access." Otherwise, they will be able to copy and edit reports, and all the Brand Permissions will no longer apply.
Four reports will be available:
- Sales Overview - Brands
- Sales Orders Over Time - Brands
- Cannabis Inventory Overview - Brands
-
Accounts Receivable and Collections Overview
Sales Overview - Brands
Shows visual representations of your Sales Over Time, Sales by Item Type, Name, and Sub-type, Sales by Channel, Postal Code, Brand, Rep, Source Facility.
Example of the first tab below.
- Note - Sales reporting will contain reporting on ALL of the sales orders containing ANY items with the brand on it. This is different from Sales Order Management (where only orders containing ALL items of the brand will be shown).
- This is because Sales reporting is designed to show reporting on the sale of ALL items with the specific brand on it.
Sales Orders Over Time - Brands
Shows a tabular representation of Orders, Order Items, Packages, Payments, and Invoices.
Cannabis Inventory Overview - Brands
Provides a visual and tabular based representation of all of Canix's inventory, sorted by brand.
Accounts Receivable and Collections Overview - Brands
Shows, by brand, the total owed by customer, payment details, and receivables by Order Number.
