Add a New User - Legacy Screen – FTQ360

This article goes over the User Setup Process screen.

It is easy to see how many users have each type of permission, especially when you have a lot of users. For example, seeing how many people have setup privileges or the number of inspectors can help keep permissions organized.

Instructions

1. Go to: Setup > Administration > User Setup Process.

2. Click the “+Add” button to add a new user.

3. Username - This is typically an email address. Usernames must be unique within all Users in FTQ360. Usernames can include a period ( . ), an underscore ( _ ) and a hyphen ( - ), but cannot include spaces.

4. First and Last Names - Enter the User's First and Last names in the respective fields.

5. Passwords - Create a temporary password for the user. Ideally, this should be an alpha-numeric word that is at least 8 characters long. The User can change the password after logging in or by using the link provided in the invitation.

6. Email - Type the user’s email address.

7. Affiliation - Select the User's Company Department (Superintendent, Warranty, etc.) or Company Name in FTQ360 (if a Responsible Party or Subcontractor). This will be used for reporting or restricted views.

"Affiliation" options come from two areas: the Company Department List screen (SETUP > Customization > Company Department List) and the Responsible Party/Subcontractor Setup Process screen (SETUP > Responsible Party Setup Process).
When selecting a Responsible Party as the affiliation, the user is also added as a Responsible Person in Setup>Responsible Party Setup Process>Crews. For more information, check out Add a Crew/Responsible Person to a Responsible Party.
when users are added and "Affiliated" with a Responsible Party, they are also added as personnel (also known as a Responsible Person) for their affiliated responsible party. This unifies users and responsible party crews or persons. The structure facilitates imports from Procore and other software that connects users to responsible parties. When a new crew is added, FTQ360 automatically adds an inactive restricted edit-only user ready for use when the user becomes active in FTQ360.

8. Inspector Type - Use the drop-down menu to select the User's job title. Most Users should be set to "Inspector (Gen)," and if you are unsure what to select, this is a safe default. To update Inspector Types, click here.

1 - Superintendent
2 - QA Department
3 - Client/Customer
4 - Subcontractor
5 - Data Entry
7 - Safety
8 - Third Party
9 - Project Manager
10 -Crew/Person
11 - Management
12 - Inspector (Gen.)
13 - Foreman
15 - Supervisor
16 - Lead

9. Restr. - Check this box if the User should have "Restricted" access to view, edit, and or inspect for the "Affiliation." For example, a "restricted" user affiliated with a Responsible Party/Subcontractor will only see Inspections and Open Items for that Responsible Party/Subcontractor.

When the "Restr." box is selected, permissions default to "Edit Insp." and "Restricted". If you would like the Restricted User to be able to "Self-Inspect," you can select "Inspect" under Permissions. Restricted users can not have any other permissions.

10. Active - You can make the User active or inactive by clicking the "Active" box.

NEW! You have the option of adding new “inactive” users to FTQ360 and activate them later when you need them. This simplifies setting up users for new projects and then when the project progresses activating users as needed. In FTQ360 only active users count towards your subscription plan.

11. Delete - You can delete a User by clicking the red "trashcan icon."

Deleted users cannot be re-added with the same system user id. Inspections are associated with a user id in the system.

12. Save - Select the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes, then setup User permissions.

13. SEND INVITATION - Select the new user and click the "Send Invitation" button at the bottom of the screen to invite the new User to login to FTQ360. The new user will get an email with a link to change his or her password and login.

a. Select User Checklists

b. Select User Projects

You can select the projects a user can access, as as give or limit users access to project data on Inspections, Dashboards, and Reports Screen. The Project Access setting is good for showing users only what they need to see (simplification) as well as showing users only what you WANT them to see (security).

All newly added users will have "View", "Edit," and "Create" permissions by default. Note: You can set a preference for whether newly added users are given access to all projects or no projects by default.

1b. - Select the new User.

2b. - Select "Project Access" from the Process Menu on the left hand side of the screen.

B - Edit: Check if the user should be able to edit inspections in this project; including changing FTQ evaluation buttons, adding photos, typing notes, etc.

If the User also has editing permissions, the User is restricted to editing open items related to the Affiliation of the User. Furthermore, editing on those items is restricted to adding pictures, notes, and marking the item as ready for review (and not the Inspector’s notes or change the checkpoint status from OPN).

Linked Accounts

Admins with "User Mgt" (user management) permissions, can provide users with access to multiple FTQ360 company accounts, using the "Linked Accounts" feature. This allows users to easily switch between the accounts without having to login and out of the various accounts.
