Hitch allows users to control settings and field labels that customize the experience for Creating an Order. Only View Config Admins can view/change these settings and create custom field labels, which apply to the entire company. 

To view or change configuration settings, click the Company tab under your name at the top right. When you change a setting, be sure to scroll down and click Save to apply the setting. Changes to settings only impact orders created after the setting has been changed.

• Customer List – Allows you to associate an order with a customer/payer that has been added as a customer within your Hitch company (typically dealers). If this setting is turned off, you will have to select one of your Shipper accounts as the customer (typically one of your company’s Auctions/locations).
