Guide to Loss Prevention Settings

A step by step guide to adjusting Loss Prevention Settings. Loss Prevention is reached by logging in to Avero, going to Settings (gear icon) in the top right, and selecting Loss Prevention from the drop-down menu. If you don't see Loss Prevention in your Settings menu, ask your Admin User to add it for you. 

When you navigate to Loss Prevention you will see a list of all businesses you have access to with columns displaying each Loss Prevention Watch Type:
