Changing Default User Settings (Optional)
If you are uploading User entities, you can optionally change the Activate Users and/or Send Email or SMS to Users default values prior to upload. These settings are located on the Login worksheet apply to all entities in the Users worksheet. This can be done either before or after login.
To change the default user settings
- Open the spreadsheet and log in if preferred. For details, see Logging into the Utility.
-
From the Activate Users dropdown list, select an option:
- True (default) - To automatically activate all users after they have been uploaded. Each user will then be able to log into the NowForce modules for which they have privileges.
- False - To upload the users without activating them. The administrator will then need to activate each user separately in the Users panel of the Dispatcher module.
-
From the Send Email or SMS to Users dropdown list, select an option:
- False (default) - To activate users without notifying them.
-
True - To send an activation notification to users via email and/or SMS.
A user can receive an email notification if an email address has been added in NowForce. A user can receive an SMS notification if the telephone number has been added in the system and an SMS Gateway has been defined for the organization.
The SMS Gateway is configured in the Interfaces page of the NowForce Administrator module. For details, see How to Configure the Text Messaging Gateway in the Dispatcher.
- Click another cell elsewhere on the page to save the changes.
