Config-UsersPassword

Once you have entered the users email address, you will then need to send that user a Password creation email. This email will come from the HireTrack System Administrator account. The user will receive a temporary password and then be prompted to create a new password.

Popup random password

Selecting this option will generate a random password on screen which an administrator may then copy and paste into another program like an email. This selection is helpful when the System Administrator email is not functioning or before the email is configured.

Popup PIN

Selecting this option will generate a 4 digit PIN NUMBER on screen which an administrator may then copy and paste into another program like an email. This selection is helpful when the System Administrator email is not functioning or before the email is configured.

 

The System Admin checkbox is disabled and will only appear when the System Administrator account is selected. When logged in a System Admin there are no restrictions to any part of the program.

 

Users that are set as General Administrators have additional functionality including:

Launch the Configuration Book
Has access to the "Queries" menu in the QBE, which allows creating, cloning etc.
Make manual adjustments to Audit Trail in the Inventory Book
Change the Anti-Fraud status in the Job Book
Authorize actions in the Warehousing such as allowing an item out even though it test certification has expired
Save Invoicing Options on invoices and orders

 

A Restricted (Jobs) user are users for which you wish to provide access to only specific jobs instead of all jobs in the system. The user must be granted all the same rights to the job book as a normal user, but instead of being able to access all jobs in the system, they will only be able to access the jobs for which they have been selected on the Restricted Users tab of the Job Book. To restrict access to searching for jobs, you will want to create a Reporting Group identified as restricted users and then create a search query that restricts the user to only the jobs for which they have access.

 

Rights

You will assign that user as a User Type. The options are:

General User - Someone who can log on and use the program.
Job Handler - The User will appear in the drop down on the Job Book to allow them to be selected as the Job Handler
Sales Person - The User will appear in the drop down on the Job Book to allow them to be selected as the Sales Person.

 

You will also need to select the Access Rights which have been configured in the User Groups.

 

Reporting Groups allow you to assign specific reports or printouts to specific people in a reporting group. For instance, you may have certain financial reports that only senior management needs access. Once the reporting group is created, you can then assign a specific individual  to a Reporting Group. Click here to configure Reporting Groups.

 

If you are running a Multi-site version of HireTrack NX, you can restrict users to see only information related to a specific site. You will set their Default Site in the General Settings, but their additional sites are set in the Site Access Panel.

 

PLEASE NOTE: There is no SAVE BUTTON for users as the system will automatically save as you go. This may require you changing or clicking on another field, but be sure to look for: newuser-1a at the bottom of the screen.
