Field | Description | |
Username | A username can be up to 25 characters long and must be unique within the system. If you enter a username that already exists, the existing user record will be retrieved for editing. If the username does not exist, a new user record will be created. Click here for information on how to use the Record ID field. | |
Email address | Must be unique and valid. The Ditat TMS has email integration, and valid email addresses improve overall system functionality. | |
Copy mail to Email | Specifies whether mail sent to this user should also be delivered via email. This can be disabled for drivers or users who do not need email notifications. | |
Password | The user's password is case-sensitive and must be between 6 and 10 characters in length. | |
Time Zone | Sets the user's time zone, which is useful for distributed teams. Each user will see tracking information and messages displayed in their local time. | |
Locked out | When checked, prevents the user from logging in to the system. | |
Security question and answer | Used to verify the user's identity when a password reset is needed. | |
Secure To | Assigns the user to one or more user groups. The default TMS comes pre-configured with three groups. Drivers should be assigned to the Mobile Users group, and dispatchers should be assigned to the Dispatchers group. |
Changing Password
When editing an existing user, the password fields will appear empty. To change the user's password, enter the new password in both password fields and click Save.
