User levels are for you to control users viewing the fields. The levels range from 1 to 9. For example, if a user has Level 3 in the Purchase menu, they can view fields that are level 3 or less. If a field is level 4 or 5, it will not visible to the user. IMPORTANT: this does not apply to mandatory fields. Mandatory fields will always be visible.

To configure user and field levels, follow the procedure below.
