User Maintenance

System Location: Settings > System > User Maintenance

User Accounts determine who can log in to JobBOSS2 and the amount of access available when they do based on the number of seat licenses purchased and the amount of security provided.

Seat Licenses

The number of seat licenses purchased determines the number of User Accounts that can be created that allow the user to enter information. For example, purchasing 2 seat licenses means 2 User Accounts can be created that allow read/write access to the system.

  • Leave the View Only User field blank (located in the Credentials section) to provide the User Account with read/write access.

Create additional User Accounts as desired; however any users beyond the number of seat licenses (2 in the previous example) would have to be marked as View Only.

Note that seat licenses are not concurrent. This means that only User Accounts that have the 'View Only User' field left blank can enter information in the system.

Security

The level of security provided determines what information is available for editing or viewing once a user logs in regardless of whether they are a View Only User or not.

Users To Create

Create a User Account for each of the following:

  • Every person that needs to log in to JobBOSS2, whether they need to enter information or not
    • Grant read/write access to users based on available seat licenses; other users can still view information as noted previously.
  • An ADMIN user
    • Every system comes with a SUPERVISOR user by default that has access to every area of JobBOSS2.
    • If you keep the existing SUPERVISOR account, make sure to change the password.
    • If you delete the SUPERVISOR account, make sure that at least one user has ADMIN privileges.
  • Every PC data collection terminal
    • A user can only log in on one system at a time, and since data collection requires a login, each terminal needs to have a User Account.
    • These users should be View Only and have no security access granted.
  • Every employee who would need to provide a signature on an electronic document.
  • A single user for the Touchscreen User ID in Company Maintenance (OPTIONAL)
    • This User Account determines whether stock to job transfers can be performed and which, if any, Hot Spots are available on PC data collection terminals.
    • Select this user in Company Maintenance under the Data Collection section.
  • Template accounts (OPTIONAL)
    • Create a "dummy" user with information appropriate for a certain function, such as accounting, and then use the Copy utility to create new users that need that level of access.
    • This option is useful in situations where multiple users share the same or similar responsibilities.
ClosedAssociated Reports

The following reports / forms / labels are available under the Print dropdown menu located in the User Maintenance Navigator:

  • Connection Info

The following report is available in the User Maintenance Header:

  • Security Report
    • The Security Report will only display security for the company you are currently logged into.
ClosedAssociated Utilities

Copy Button

The Copy Utility creates a new User Account and populates it with every detail of the selected user with the exception of the User ID, Name, and Password.

  • Verify the level of security is appropriate for the new user since those details are carried over from the selected user.
ClosedUser Maintenance Header

User Maintenance Header

The Record Header located at the top of the page indicates which specific record has been selected and for what purpose (new, edit, quick view), provides access to shortcuts to the various Sections of the record (located in the Anchor Bar), and displays record specific Action Buttons (discussed below.)

For more information see User Interface.

Action Buttons

Security Report

Use this option to generate a report that lists which areas of JobBOSS2 the user selected in the report filter screen has access to.

  • You can generate the report for any user, not just the one that was selected when the Security Report button was clicked.

Hot Spots

Click this button to assign Hot Spots to the selected user or to edit the list of Hot Spots already assigned.

For more information see Hot Spots.

OK

This button is used to close the record and save any changes that have been made while it was open. In addition, the dropdown button allows you to Save and:

  • Close - close the open record.
  • New - open a new blank record.
  • Print - print any of the reports related to the open record.

Cancel

This button is used to close the record without saving any changes that may have been made while it was open. If this button is used after a change has been made to the record, the system prompts to verify whether the record should be closed without saving the changes.

Answering "Yes" to the prompt closes the record without saving the changes.

Answering "No" to the prompt leaves the record open.
