  4. Once a user has been set up and saved, an activation email and an email to set password will be sent to that email address. 

 

Following are tips in completing the user screen:

  • Email addresses have to be unique, no other user can be created with the same email address. To correct email addresses after saving a new user, you will need to remove the user from the user list by removing their 'Role'. Then create the user again, NOTE: when recreating a user, do not use the same username. 
  • Users will be able to log into the application using their 'Username' or 'Email Address' that they were set up with. When creating a username, you may want to use their first initial and their last name, or first name and last initial. If you need to change the 'Username'. You will need to remove the user from the list and create a new user to make a change to the username. 
    • Then create the user again, entering the correct username.
    • When record is saved it will create a popup warning that there exists a user with the same email address. Click on the email address on the popup. The system will automatically save and send out emails. 
  • Assign the user one role per location (if you have multiple locations) – assign the role that will allow them to do their tasks. For example, if you have a caregiver that is also in charge of administering the program (setting up users, admitting residents, etc.) give that user the Admin Role.
