Changes to hierarchical Security
Introduction
TMS 8 version 8.36.5.0 has introduced a new feature to improve the Hierarchical security feature. Hierarchical security is an optional feature in WinTMS that creates Users when you edit an Employee that does not have a User associated with them. Prior to version 8.36.0.0, this newly created User would automatically default their Employee access to the last Lookup that you added a User to.

For example, in the screenshot below, a User has been added to its own Lookup:

The new preference is a drop-down box that allows you to choose the default Lookup:
