# Introduction

Verifone Commander Central is a web application that enables Petroleum Merchants and Major Oil administrators to maintain a centralized point for site data, monitor sites remotely, and provides a convenient platform for synchronous oversight and configuration.

Verifone Commander Central does not require a technician to visit each location to make changes and updates. Updates can be made selectively or all at once from the web application.

This guide covers the following topics:

* **Hierarchy**: Setting up and managing hierarchy, the arrangement of groups and sites to reflect the business structure (e.g. National > Regional > Western > Pacific).
* **Sites**: Setting up and managing sites (individual business locations) within the hierarchy.
* **User Administration**: Creating and managing users with various roles and permissions (e.g. access to administrative or reporting features within the Verifone Commander Central application)
* **Dashboard**: An overview of the application's dashboard, from which the features can be accessed, view configuration steps (and their completion status), and find information on additional help and support.
* **My Account**: Information for users on viewing their account information. Editing user information is not available currently.
* **Reports**: Reporting allows near-real-time data for Transaction Logs (T-Logs), Site Assets, and Summary details to be readily viewed.
* **Configuration**: Remotely manage and synchronize site configurations for Password Management, Primary Payment, Mobile Payment, Loyalty Configuration, Viper Card Tables, and various site price book configurations.
* **Connect Device to Cloud**: This feature allows the connection to the Verifone Commander to the Verifone Commander Central cloud application.
* **One-Time Password**: This feature allows the One-Time Password (OTP) to be sent from the Verifone Commander to an email address to access the OTP-dependent features of the Verifone Commander.

### **Version Support Notification**

Verifone Commander Central has been enhanced to display when the connected site's software release version does not support specific forms. Messaging will appear that states 'This Version (xxx.xx.xx) does not support configuring the form, please upgrade your Commander.'

Software upgrades can be requested through Verifone's Remote Software Delivery (VRSD) process. See the VRSD Implementation Guide for more details.
