(Note: Your ability to view certain areas of iSteelAsia and perform certain actions described in the FAQ below depends upon your User Type and User Level. Check the Site Glossary for definitions of User Type and Level and an explanation of the rights and privileges associated with each.)
The Trading Center provides an overview of all the current personal and company-wide trading activity that your User Type and Level authorizes you to view. 2. How is information organized in the Trading Center? The Trading Center contains two main sections, Buying and Selling, and five subsections of each:
|
|||
|
Within each subsection of the Trading Center, you will see total trading-related figures for each subsection, such as "New Offers," "Items Awaiting Your Action" or "Total Negotiations." These figures give you an indication of activity in relation to your buying and selling negotiations. You will notice that all levels of information in Buying and Selling are parallel, so you are provided with an equally comprehensive view of both ends of the trading spectrum: what you learn about Buying you also learn about Selling. For example, the first subsection of Buying is Offers to Me, while the first subsection of Selling is Inquiries to Me.
The color-coded areas of the Trading Center help you easily recognize the different kinds of information provided. The lighter-colored upper subsections contain active information to which you can respond. The darker-colored lower subsections contain information that can only be viewed, because they indicate activity that occurred in the past. 3. What kind of information is available in the Trading Center? The Trading Center offers personalized and company-wide total figures for all the past and current account activity that your user type and level authorizes you to view. Within each of the subsections, the following list items are displayed: BUYING

4. How does my user type and level affect what I see in the Trading Center? While the structure of the Trading Center is fixed, the degree to which you can view it depends on your user type and level. All registered users, from Level Zero to Primary Account Users, have some access to the Trading Center. The following list details the subsections that different user levels can view. When a user has access to a subsection, the list items within it can also be viewed.
Level 0
Offers to Me Inquiries to Me Level 1 Offers to Me Inquiries to Me Offers Created Inquiries Created Level 2 Offers to Me Inquiries to Me Buying Negotiations Selling Negotiations Inquiries Approval Queue Offers Approval Queue Buying History Selling History Level 3 Offers to Me Inquiries to Me Buying Negotiations Selling Negotiations Inquiries Approval Queue Offers Approval Queue Buying History Selling History Company Buying Company Selling Primary Account User Offers to Me Inquiries to Me Buying Negotiations Selling Negotiations Buying Approval Queue Selling Approval Queue Buying History Selling History Company Buying Company Selling 5. How does my user level affect what actions I can launch from the Trading Center? Just as your user level determines the degree to which you can view the Trading Center, it also dictates what actions you can initiate from it. The following list outlines which actions are available to the various user levels.
Level 0
Cannot perform any actions in the Trading Center. Can only view Offers and Inquiries based on User preferences. Level 1 Create Offers for Approval Queue Create Inquiries for Approval Queue Track Offers created Track Inquiries created Level 2 Create, and Approve Offers for Submission Create, and Approve Inquiries for Submission Engage in Buying Negotiations Engage in Selling Negotiations Level 3 View, Create and Approve Offers for Submission View, Create and Approve Inquiries for Submission Engage in Buying Negotiations Engage in Selling Negotiations Primary Account User View, Create and Approve Offers for Submission View, Create and Approve Inquiries for Submission Engage in Buying Negotiations Engage in Selling Negotiations 6. How do my trading preferences affect the information provided to me in the Trading Center? The structure of the Trading Center does not change according to your trading preferences. However, your trading preferences directly determine the specific information held within the Trading Center categories. For example, if Trader A specified that he will only sell hot rolled coils and sheets, and Trader B specified that she will only sell reinforcing bar, they will see the same Trading Center structure (provided they are of the same user level). However, the offers presented to them in Offers to Me will differ according to their specified criteria. 7. Can I reorganize the information in the Trading Center? The Trading Center is structured to provide optimal viewing for all users and cannot be reorganized. 8. What is the difference between Trading Highlights and the Trading Center? Unlike the Trading Center, Trading Highlights offers an anonymous view of current buying and selling activity. This information provides a glimpse into the general trading activity of iSteelAsia.com users, rather than a detailed personalized view of user account activity.
