This screen is used to add or update information about your users.

The first field (UID) is an automatically generated number field created when you add a new user record. The next field (Full Name) is the user's full name and it is used when "looking up" a user record in several other forms. The next three fields are used for the web interface.  The Web Login and Web Password fields are self explanatory.  The Security Level field is important because it is used on web pages where access is restricted based on the logged in user's security level.  The default value of 1 is the level you will assign to users.  A level of 3 is what you will use for technicians or support personnel. The Department and Location fields can be easily looked up using the drop down list boxes.  The next fields (Email, Phone and Fax) should be self explanatory.

 

 

I have also provided fields for recording a user's Cell Phone and Pager numbers (if any) as well as a number of fields for recording a user's primary, secondary and tertiary servers with corresponding login and passwords. 

 

Fields are also provided for recording the user's Domain and/or Workgroup, as well as information about the software used for network connectivity and the user's printer manufacturer and model.  These last two fields can also be looked up using the drop down lists.

 

 

A Notes field is also provided for any additional information you want to record about a user.

 

 

New in version 2.59 is a print button.  Unlike the print button on the browse users screen, this button will print a report that looks more like the form used to update the record, including part of the data on the tabs for requests, computers and peripherals.
