The DB Users Module includes functionality to manage the accounts that access your Approved Workman database. To show it, selectDB Users in the Left Side Navigation. (This module will be hidden if a user's permission is set to No Access for DB Users.) Once selected, a list of users is displayed. Select a user in the list to show the user's detailed information as described in the User Details section below.
User List toolbar:
Search – locate a user in the list by typing part of the name. This will limit the list to only users who have a name (or part of a name) matching the text in the search box. To return to the complete list of users, clear the text in the box.
Add New User – opens the Add New User dialog for adding a user. Enter First Name, Last Name, Username (used for login), and email address. Give the new user your customer number and their username. The first time the new user logs in, they should enter the customer number and username, then click the 'Forgot password' button. They will receive an email that includes a button to set their password. Once they complete that process, they can log in with the password they created.
Delete User – deletes the selected user from the database. This deletion will fail if any records have been created or modified by this user.
TIP: To preserve historical information, deactivate the user record instead of deleting the user. Edit the user and uncheck 'Account is active'.
Show Display Options – opens the User List Options dialog to customize the information shown in the DB User List using these selections:
Show Only users who are either ACTIVE / LOGGED IN or INACTIVE. Check the box and select a condition to limit the list based on the user's status.
Sort Users by up to three criteria. Select from the following options to determine the order in which the users are displayed in the list:
First Name
Is Admin
Last Login
Last Logout
Last Name
Windows App Access
Display up to three pieces of information for each member. Select from the following options:

Choose to show (check) or not show (uncheck) the last name first.
