In the new OPUS Administration, TraceLink users can link to both internal locations and trade partners by editing their company profile and adding Partner identifiers.

Key Requirements:

• Trade Partners must be either:

  • Members of the TraceLink Network, or
  • Entries in the company’s Partner Master Data.
• Matching Identifiers: The identifier added in the Partners tab of the company profile must match at least one verified identifier for the Partner.

• App Support: The apps must support Links. The global identifier for the company or location in Partner Master Data must match the identifier used when adding the company or location.

To begin using any OPUS app:

1. If the app allows linking (i.e. a multienterprise app):
   1. Add company locations and their identifiers to your company so that you can link them to the app.
   2. Add Partners and their identifiers to your company in OPUS Administration so that you can link them to the app.

Yes. You can still use the TTS Company Administration. With the transition to OPUS Administration, you now have the flexibility to access both systems.

TTS Administration and TTS Management can be accessed through OPUS Administration main menu, which allow administrators to view TTS screens directly within the OPUS interface. This integration streamlines navigation and simplifies the transition between systems.

As part of the improved layout and navigation system introduced in this release, Track & Trace Services (TTS) Administration and TTS Management are now accessible directly from within the OPUS Administration interface. This enhancement streamlines navigation across next-generation solutions and simplifies access to key TTS login screens.

Access Overview

Users with the System Administrator, TTS Administrator, or TTS Manager roles can now access TTS Administration and Management functions directly from OPUS Administration:

• Administration login – Provides direct access to TTS Administration features.

• Management login – Provides direct access to TTS Management features.

TraceLink apps are extended through solutions, which pull together assets that define how the app looks and functions when users interact with it (i.e. the app's data model, pages, workflows, roles, and policies). Solutions available in the Marketplace Catalog can be saved as Company Solutions and configured to meet a company's specific use cases and business needs.

Solution users can access Imports and Exports through the Import/Export Files screen, available from the TraceLink Account menu. This screen centralizes all import and export activity in one location, allowing users to sort and filter results, view file details from the Activity Name column, and download files using either the Import/Export File link or the download icon. After a file is downloaded, a notification is displayed in the Notification panel. In addition, multi-region support automatically routes users to the appropriate regional file storage based on the account’s home region, improving performance, ensuring compliance with regional data requirements, and streamlining file access for global teams.

The following administrator roles can be assigned to users:

• System Administrator – Each company must have at least one user assigned the System Administrator role. This role grants full access to all administrative capabilities, including configuring company-level data, managing users, and assigning roles across all apps and networks.

• Network and App Administrator – This role allows users to manage applications and their associated networks. Users assigned this role can configure applications and networks, maintain Links and business teams, and manage user membership for apps, networks, links, and business teams.

• User Administrator – This role is responsible for managing users at the company level. User Administrators can onboard new users, manage existing user profiles, and assign company-level roles.

• B2B Integration Administrator – This role allows users to configure B2B integration settings in the OPUS Platform, enabling secure and seamless data exchange between network Owners and Partners.

• Audit Manager – This role allows users to generate and export Company and SSO Audit Trail reports, providing detailed visibility into user activity, including who made changes, when, and where.

• TTS Administrator – This role allows users to manage users, roles, locations, partners, devices, and integration settings within the Administration module of Track & Trace Services apps through a special interface in OPUS Administration.

• TTS Manager – This role allows users to manage applications, partner requests, compliance tools, data rules, and system messages within the Management module of Track & Trace Services apps through a special interface in OPUS Administration.

The following table lists the legacy role names and their updated versions.

Roles group a set of permissions for specific actions (either in the UI or via API), side menu items, and data within an app. The solution applied to the app or its network determines which roles are available. Administrators assign users to roles when they assign users to an app, its network, or its Links.

Owners assign specific roles to Links, allowing their Partners to assign those roles to the Partner users with access to the Link.

Companies must own OPUS Solution Environment (OSE) to add or edit roles. If your company owns OSE and you also have the Solution Designer role assigned, you can add new roles to a Company Solution or edit existing roles by navigating to OSE and selecting Roles in the side menu. See the OPUS Solution Environment Help Center for more information. If your company does not own OSE, then contact TraceLink Support for more information.
