User Edit Window

This window is used to add new users and edit information about current users.

Contact Information

Enter the user's contact information in this section.

Full Name. This is the user's full name.
Phone Number. Enter the user's phone number. If they have more than one, enter the one you are likely to call for work reasons.
Email Address. Enter the user's email address.
Allow occasional emails to help you get the most from Fusion. We strongly encourage you to leave this box checked. Fusion occasionally sends short emails to customers to help them learn how to utilize Fusion in better ways and your employees will be better equipped if they receive these emails. No need for you to remember to get the water to the end of the row when new information and features come out!

User Account

Username. The name the user will need to enter or choose to log in. Also, Fusion will use this username to show who was responsible for different events in Fusion. It is normally the first name of the person, but you can enter something else if you like. It must be unique among the user names in the system.
Password. Each user should have their own password for logging in. There are no special requirements for the password. In fact, it can be left blank. However, we don't recommend that. This allows you to create your own password policy.
Repeat Password. The password must be entered twice to make sure there wasn't a mistake during entry.

Permissions

Permissions Group. Each user must belong to a group which controls the permissions they are given in Fusion. See the Group Permissions Window topic for more information.
Receive System Messages. When something critical goes wrong with Fusion, it will send an internal message to all users that have this field checked. At least one person who is involved in the day to day operation should be assigned to receive system messages so they can be dealt with in a timely manner.
Can Accept License Agreements. When a new version of Fusion is installed, Fusion Client cannot be used until the license agreement is accepted. Any user who has this field checked is allowed to do this. If users without this designation want to use Fusion before someone has accepted the license agreement, they will have to wait.

Status Section

Users should not be deleted after they have done something in Fusion. For example, if an employee will no longer be working at your feedlot you do not want to delete their account because Fusion needs that to show what events the user was responsible for while they worked there. Of course, you also don't want them to be able to log in and use Fusion anymore. If this happens, you can mark the user account as not current in this section and they will no longer be able to log in and use Fusion.

Current (Allowed to login to system). Turn this option on to make a user account active and allow them to log in. Turn it off to do the opposite.

If an employee leaves and then returns to work at the feedlot later on, you only need to make them current again. You don't need to create a new user account.

Getting Here
