User Maintenance Help

Each user login to the DynamicXport platform is defined in the User definitions file. Each user must belong to an already defined Organization. When a user logs into the system, they are verified against the Users file and then presented with their options defined in the User Options file based on the View ID referenced by their Organization. 

DynamicXport installs with one predefined administration user. The administration user can then create other users and give them administrative privileges if desired. 

To add a new User enter the new unique User ID and click the Add button.  The User Maintenance form will display. Complete the form and click Save to save the new User.  You can then maintain their Options by clicking Options.

To search for a User, select to search by User ID, Name, Application ID or Organization ID, enter an exact or partial match to search for and click Search.

To view, change or delete an existing User on the search list click the User's ID.  You can then modify the User's definition and click Save or you can click Delete to remove the User.  
To view or change a User's Menu Options you can click on 'Options' on the search list.  You can then add or remove options from the User's list.
WARNING: Deleting a User also deletes all their options!

User file field definitions: 

User ID 
The User ID can be up to 8 characters in length and can consist of alphanumeric characters, comma, period, dash and underscore only. The ID is the unique identifier of the User and is case sensitive. Typically a part of a person's name, initials, customer code or other unique recognizable identifier is used. 

Organization ID 
Identifies the Organization that this User belongs to and thus determines the User's level in the Organizational hierarchy. 

Password 
This is the User's secretive password to access the system. The password must consist of alphanumeric characters only and must be at least 5 characters in length. The password can be up to 20 characters. 

User Name 
Up to 30 characters to describe the User, typically first and last name. 

Application ID
Up to 20 characters to define the existing applications code or ID for this User, such as a customer code, salesman code, employee number, etc. This can be then be used by the custom application to tie a User to a particular application code. 

Administration Level 
This indicator defines what DynamicXport administration privileges this user can access. 
If none, the user has no administrative privileges. 
If Organization, the user has administrative privileges within their Organization and it's descendants (Organizations under their Organization). They can add, change and delete users and assign options to users. 
If Global, the user has administrative privileges within all Organizations. 

Extended Log 
This indicator defines whether an Extended Log should be saved for this user. If this indicator is turned on the Audit Log will retain extensive details of all incoming and outgoing data. This can be used by developers for debugging purposes or for extensive monitoring of a particular User. Extended Log can also be turned on Globally or by selected Option.

E-mail address 
This field is used to store the user's e-mail address if known. 

User Defined 1-5 
There are five 60 character fields available for storing information about the organization that would facilitate further linking the organization to the web page or application or to store information about the organization that is not available in the application.
