User vs. Recipient

A user is someone who has an account to access the Field2Base system. A user can have different roles set within the Admin Portal. For example, a user can be a driver who is accessing Field2Base on a mobile device, an office administrator who is designing and publishing forms or a manager who is approving a form in workflow.

A recipient is purely a name and an email address which is available to your company's users. Recipients are designed to be part of an “Address Book” which users can quickly select to send forms to. Recipients do not have access to any components of the Field2Base system.

Viewing Users and Recipients

You can view a list of your company's users and recipients on the Admin Portal Users page. You can sort your list by clicking on the hyperlinked column headers (in blue) and you can filter by user type, project, user name and user e-mail. You can even download a CSV file of your list by clicking the Excel button.

Adding a User

1. Click the Create User button.

2. Fill in all user information. A username, password, first name, last name and email address are required for all users. You can send the username and password information to your new user by checking Send Password in Email. You can also send Field2Base product installers to your new user by clicking the Send Product Installer button.  

3. Select which project(s) this user will have access to. A user must be associated with at least one project and can have access to multiple projects. 

4. Select which group(s) this user needs to be part of. Groups are used for basic or custom workflows and are not applicable to all companies.

5. Select which role(s) this user needs to have. A description of available roles can be found on the Admin Portal Roles page.

6. Leave Consolidate attachments sent to this user into a single PDF checked if you want this user to receive submitted forms as a single PDF file. If you uncheck this box, this user will receive submitted forms as a JPEG file for each page of the form.

7. Leave Include on Form optional recipients lists checked if you want this user to included as an optional recipient for forms on their project(s). A list of optional recipients is available when a form in sent from the Mobile Forms application. If this user will never need to receive a form, you can uncheck this box.
