Adding a New User

A new user can be added through the AppWright System Setup on the desktop.  In System Setup you will see an option named Users and by selecting this a list of existing users will be displayed.  A new user can be added two ways; by copying an existing similar user or by creating a new entry.  If copying an existing user care should be taken that all fields are reviewed to make sure there are no incorrect settings for the new user.  

 

 

To copy an existing user simply select Copy to the left of the user's name.  The new user's ID, password, user name as well as email name and address will need to be added at this point.  If no other changes are required, then once this new user ID is saved they can log into the system.

 

A new user can also be added by selecting the button near the top left of the screen.  The screen shown below will be displayed.

 

 

User ID

The user ID should be entered here.  The Active box is checked by default and should be unchecked if the user should not be allowed instant access to the system.

 

Password

A user password should be between 1 and 25 characters.

 

User Name

The user's full name should be entered here in the recommended Last, First name format.  This is what is displayed throughout the system.

 

 

EMail Information

EMail Name

What is entered here will be displayed in the email listing when sending messages.  This will default to the user name if left blank.

 

EMail Address

Enter the user's email address in this field.  If this is left blank the user will not be able to send or receive messages from AppWright.

 

Alternate EMail

A cell phone, PDA or pager number can be entered here.  If there is an alternate email number a text message will be sent.

AppWright System Settings and Security Values

Color Scheme

A color scheme can be selected for the appearance of the user's desktop.  By clicking on Color Scheme, color options will appear that can be chosen.  Every time a user logs into AppWright their color scheme will be used.

 

Desktop

Different desktops can be set up for different users, meaning some users may need different options on their desktop verses others.  Once desktop settings are set up in the system they can be selected here for a user.  The Show Desktop button will give a preview of the chosen desktop to verify it is correct.

 

If the button is selected a few more options will be shown.  

 

 

Resource Any item that can have work assigned to it. Examples: Personnel, equipment, places,work queues Availability Settings

Calendar

Calendars can be set up for different availability for different users or resources.  Examples would be a Standard calendar for a five day workweek with an eight hour workday.  Another example would be a workweek including Saturdays.  The calendar that applies to this user should be selected here.

 

Availability Level

This setting tells the system how many resources are available for a resource type when setting up queues.  For example, an entry of 1 here will mean there is one person available to work jobs whereas an entry of 10 would mean there are many more people available when scheduling multiple jobs for the resource.  In this case, since we are setting up a single user, the setting would be one.

 

Standard Day

Enter the number of hours a standard workday for this user.

 

Zip Code

Enter an optional zip code for this user here.  Distance calculations can be set up for tasks to determine who is most easily accessible based on location.
