Can I make notes/comments on users?

Administrators can make notes on a users profile by going to a user's profile and clicking the plus icon on the 'Notes' panel. Then type in your note and click 'Submit' on the form to save your comment. If you go back to the 'Notes' panel, you should see your note as well as an edit link. Your notes are only viewable by yourself and other administrators with the correct permissions. They cannot be viewed by that user or any other non-admin user.

How do I put a label on a user?

An administrator can put a label on a user by going to a user's profile and clicking the 'Label' button. Then select from the dropdown which label you would like to add. New labels can be created by navigating to System > Settings > People and Activity > Labels and clicking 'Add Label'. You can also send broadcasts to users with a specific label. For example, you might want to message clients in a certain area regarding a particular offer. Labels on users are only viewable by admins.

How do I link two existing roles?

If you have two roles that are the same person (such as a tutor who is also an administrator), you can edit one of the roles to have the same email address as the other role's. Simply copy the user's email address from their existing profile and then proceed to create a new profile for the additional role you wish to give them, for example, copy your tutor's email address and then create a new administrator.

Rather than filling in all of the 'Create' page, simply paste the email address into the 'Email' field. You will then be prompted at the top of the page to click to link the users.

How can I split a user's roles into separate users?

An administrator can split a user with multiple roles into several users by going to their profile (on any role) and clicking the 'Split User' button. The user's email will stay with the role with the highest priority, while the other users will be given no email address.

NB: There is role priority, so that email address would remain on the admin profile when user roles are split

If I split a user's role & update the contact details on one profile, will that be updated on all of the profiles for that user?

Yes, if the contact details are updated on one profile, then those changes would be reflected on all of the profiles that have been split for that user.

What do the Colored Lines beside each User in the List Mean?

These coloured lines represent the Calendar Color which has been assigned to that user. This dictates how the user is displayed on the calendar. Because this colour is also featured in the list view, it can also be handy (in tandem with labels - read more here) for distinguishing users by categories at a glance.

For example; Do you want to set up four tiers of customer service? You could set up colours that you associate with Gold Star service, Priority service, Standard service and Basic service, for an easy view as to what clients have each level of service.

How do I resend a Welcome Email?

If one of your users has not received/is unable to locate their Welcome Email, simply navigate to the user's profile and click on the 'Resend Welcome Email' button. This will only show if the user has not logged in already, so in other circumstances, you can instruct your users to reset their password.

How do I delete a user?

Deleting a user should rarely be done as it can make it difficult to reconcile aspects of the system. If a user needs to be deleted, make sure to remove them from all jobs beforehand.

If you are an administrator, you can delete a user by navigating to their profile and clicking the 'Delete' button. If a user has multiple roles, then every role will be deleted.

How do I delete a role from a user?

If you wish to delete single or multiple roles from a user, you must split the user, delete the unwanted roles, then link back the remaining roles. First, go to the user's profile (on any role) and click the 'Split User' button. Then go to the profiles of the roles you wish to delete and click the 'Delete' button. Finally, navigate to the profiles of the active roles, click the 'Edit' button, enter the user's email address, and click 'Submit'. This will link the active roles back together to the same user.

How do I recover deleted users?

If you are an administrator, you can recover deleted users by navigating to System > Rubbish Bin > Deleted Users. Find the user you wish to restore, then click 'Recover'. If a deleted user has multiple roles, then all of their roles will be recovered.

How do I permanently erase data about a user in accordance with GDPR?

First, you have to delete a user by clicking the Delete button on their profile. Once you've done that, you can go into the Rubbish bin, filter for them, and click Erase User.

Can I permanently erase data from multiple users at once?

You can bulk erase users by navigating to System > Settings > People & Activity > Bulk Erase Users.

Simply select the users that you want to delete, confirm that you want to irreversibly delete data for these users, and click Submit.
