Important: alio Employee Service Portal (ESP) and alio Vendor Portal (VP) share many of the same system preferences because both applications share the same software platform. These fields are marked with an asterisk (*) in the General Preference Settings table. If your organization uses the alio ESP, any change made to these shared preferences in alio ESP are applied automatically to alio VP; and changes to shared preferences made in alio VP are applied automatically to alio ESP. The changes will display the next time the alio Employe Service Portal administrator or alio Vendor Portal administrator logs into the appropriate application.
