 Customizing User Lists

User Lists define a collection of Operator Ids

Created from Roles, SQL Definitions, Queries
or Application Classes
Dynamic Source Paths, can use Approval
Authorizations to further narrow scope
Legacy Route Control is available for use
SQL Definitions, Queries & App Classes need
to be tuned to run efficiently.
Deviations from delivered User Lists are
considered customizations.
