COG-CORE

This page will be all about setting up a new user in the system.

 

We will go through how to create a new staff record, how to set up security, and user profile constraints.

 

Creating a new user

Assigning security permissions against the Staff record

Assigning the skills and groups against the Staff record

Configuring Profile Constraints

 

 

Creating a new user

 

To create a new application user, please follow the instructions below:

 

Login to the main application, on the module menu, expand Staff and click on the [ Staff Details ] option.

 

On the Details form, fill in all of the required fields marked with a red asterisk*, the rest of the fields are optional.

 

StaffDetails_NewRecord

 

Important Field Information:

Staff Id

This is the Staff identifier, this needs to be unique per user. Typing in an existing Staff Id will load the user details associated with the Id.

 

Login Name

This is the login name used to login on both the main application and mobile application. This field also needs to be unique as typing in a login name already used by another user will result in a validation error.

 

We advise using the user's email address as a login name, as this is guaranteed to be unique across the Trust and NHS mail servers.

 

System Administrator

This field is hidden by default. It will only become visible once the Staff record is created and if the logged in user has the System Administrator flag checked on their Staff record.

 

This flag will enable the user to see the [ Unlock Account ] and [ Send New Password ] buttons on the Staff Details view.

 

Receive Reports

Check if the Staff should receive the automated reports.

 

NOTE: There are extra configurations required for the Staff to start receiving reports, this field is just one of them. This will be explained on the Setting up Automated Reports section.

 

Once the Staff record is created, the [ Send New Password ] button should become visible on the Details form next to the Login Name field. Clicking this button will send an email to the address defined in the Email field e.g.:

 

A new account has been set up

 

Login Name : john.smith@asckey.com

Password   : 123SamplePassword!

From Date  : 02/12/2019 11:52

 

Please do not reply to this email as the inbox is not monitored.

 

 

The Location/Organisation tabs on Staff Details view allows the user to assign a Staff record against specific location/organisation tiers. Navigate to the tab and expand the Location/Organisation tiers that you want to assign the user to and click on the Selected column checkbox e.g.:

 

If you want to assign the user to the whole Site, click on the Selected checkbox against the site:

 

StaffDetails_Location

 

If Automated Reports are configured and Receive Reports flag is checked, assigning a Staff record against the whole site means every time an audit is signed off on one of the functional areas against the site, the user will receive an automated report for that functional area.

 

Alternatively, if you want to assign the user to specific blocks or functional areas, deselect the Site and drill down until you find the block or functional area and select them instead:

 

StaffDetails_Location2

 

Selecting TIGER WARD FIRST FLOOR and TIGER WARD GROUND FLOOR on the location tree means that the user will only get automated reports for the two functional areas.

 

Assigning security permissions against the Staff record

 

To give view permissions to the user, go to Staff > Staff Details view.

 

Load the Staff ID from the Staff Lookup, then navigate to the Access Rights tab:

 

StaffDetails_AccessRights

 

The items in the Available grid are the available permission rights that you can assign to the user.

 

You can use the Module or Access Type filter to find the security permission for the user.

 

You can either assign individual permissions to the user or give the user Group permission (please see the How to Create Group Permissions section to find out more).

 

Select row/s from the Available list and DRAG and DROP the row/s to the Selected list:

 

Drag

Drag

 

Drop

Drop

 

The selected rows from the Available list should disappear from the Available list and appear on the Selected list. The picture above demonstrates that the Staff record, now have access to 5 views:

Cleaning Area List View

Cleaning Area Ordering View

Cleaning Area View

Cleaning Schedules View

Cleaning Schedules List View

 

The same steps above can also be carried out on the Security Control view by following this: How to give user access from the Security Control view

 

Assigning the skills and groups against the Staff record

 

How to add a new skill or group option

 

You can create the Staff Skill or Group options via Maintenance > Table Maintenance view. Expand Staff and select Staff Groups or Staff Skills from the Table Maintenance menu.

 

Click the Add button and type the new staff skill or group in the pop-up window.

 

TM Staff Groups

 

Note, the Module field will serve as a filter to limit the Staff Group field options in the module views.

 

E.g. If you select the Cleaning module, then it means the selection option is only available from within the Cleaning module and will be hidden in the Task Management or Survey views in the application.

 

TM Staff Groups - Add form

 

Assigning the skill/group to a staff record

 

Open the Staff > Staff Details view and find the Staff ID from the lookup to load the Staff record.

 

Once the staff record is loaded in the view, navigate to the Group/Skill tab and select the group / skill options from the grid by ticking the the relevant boxes:

 

StaffDetails_GroupSkill

 

Configuring Profile Constraints

 

How the constraints work

 

The system will allow you to specify global filters for a user so that they can create, amend, and delete records but during this process will only see the information for a functional area, organisation, and/or monitoring type that they are interested in.

 

Adding the profile constraints

 

To add the profile constraints, open the Menu > System Maintenance > Staff Constraints view.

 

Open the Staff Lookup by clicking on the search icon.

 

Select the Staff record to load on the form as displayed below:

 

ProfileConstraints_StaffRecord

 

On the Profile Constraints tab, click on the Add button to add a new row on the grid and this will open a row editor.

Fill in the Parameter Description, Mode, and Value fields, then click on the [ Update ] button:

 

ProfileConstraints_ConstraintsGrid

 

 

ProfileConstraints_ConstraintsData

 

The above picture demonstrates that Staff ID ASC1000 have profile constraints on:

 

Location - include - Sample Site 1

Monitoring Types - include - Technical

 

This means for the whole system, Staff ID ASC1000 would only see data for Sample Site 1, and Technical Audits.

 

If you're setting up multiple users with the same profile constraints, load the Staff record (e.g. Staff ID ASC001) as described above, then click on the [ Copy Profile From ] button.

This will open another Staff Lookup where you can find a Staff record (e.g. Staff Id: ASC002) with the constraints already configured.

Selecting Staff Id ASC002 from the lookup will copy the selected Staff's profile constraints to Staff Id ASC001.
