The search will be performed by the option Name or Code throughout all the available companies.

Mass Actions in User Management

 
Use the following mass actions to speed up the process of adding new users or editing the existing ones.
  • For multi-companies, you can add, edit, and deactivate user access in all companies at once. As well as select and appoint a Substitute User for all available companies at once for the deactivated user:
  • Access to All — can at once grant and revoke access to all Locations and Document Custom Fields options in a specific company.

This function works even when the user has partial access to the options without having Access to All.

  • Select All can at once grant and revoke access to specific Locations and Document Custom Fields options.

  • Apply to All Companies — this can help you automatically duplicate the specific set of User Roles, Locations, and Document Custom Fields and apply them to all available companies.


You can also use a filter that will help you quickly manage user access to the options, sorting them by the necessary parameter.

You can find the filter in the User’s profiles in tabs for Document Custom Fields, Locations, and Product Groups (if your company uses this functionality). The filter is, by default, set to Show All Options. Click on the filter to see other available choices: Checked and Unchecked Only.


Additional Ability to Grant Access to View Only Self-Created Documents When Creating New Related Ones


You can additionally grant access to view only self-created documents when creating new related ones, find the needed settings in the Configurations → Basic Settings → Document Setup → General Settings → View Only Self-Created Documents.

By default, this checkbox is turned off. If the checkbox is activated, users will be able to View and Create related documents only from the documents they have initiated.

Please note that if users have the Approve roles, they will see all the documents available to them by DCF and Locations.

After all the steps above have been successfully finished, the user can start working with Precoro!

Tracking User Information


You can use the Advanced and Fast Filters as well as the Search function on the User Management page to quickly sort out and find the information you are looking for.


Track and Re-Send the Undelivered Letters to the Company Users


You can conveniently track the undelivered letters to the company users and quickly re-send the invitation if needed:

The Bounced Letters Status — Failed

You will see the Failed status for the undelivered invitations to new users.

The Infocard

  • Undelivered Invitations — will help you filter out users with Failed invitation sending status.

By using the infocard and status, you can quickly identify those who did not receive the letter and make another attempt by clicking the Resend button on the Action panel.

You can save and set your custom filtering parameters as default. This functionality will save you time and eliminate manual routine work.

How to save filters on the advanced filters page

2. Select the necessary filtering parameters.

3. Click the Save current filter button below.

4. Enter the filter Name, and if needed, check the Use as a default setting.

Utilize Infocard Filters


There are also Infocard filters you can see and utilize on this page, for example:

  • No User Access To Required DCF, with the help of which you will be able to quickly identify users who do not have access to any options in one or all of the required Document Custom Fields in your company.

To promptly fix those issues:

1. Open the User Management page and click on the No User Access To Required DCF Infocard.

If you do not see the No User Access To Required DCF Infocard, then all your users have access to the required DCFs, and there is no need to correct their rights.

2. You will see the list of users who need access modifications. Open their profiles in the editing mode and provide them with the necessary Document Custom Fields options.

3. Save the changes made, and those users will have all the needed accesses for continuing the working process with documents.


Additionally to the Infocard filter, to help you keep all these issues in check, all the Configurators will receive the letter every Monday. The letter will only be sent in case there are problematic users in your company who lack the needed DCF access.

Also, if your company has an active integration with our partners and you have Integrated Company Users. In that case, there will be a corresponding display that will quickly allow you to assess which user is part of the integration:
