Personnel Management


Personnel Management is a tool that will allow you to Create, Update and Delete Users for the Quest database. Each user in the database requires a Name, Unique ID, Language and must belong to at least one User Group although one user may be a part of multiple User Groups.

Note! Remember that a User Id does not have any authority, the User Group they are assigned to has the authorities. For example, if you want to give user JDOE authority to the Administration App, you would assign him to the User Group 'Administration', since that user group has the Administration App authority.


Creating a User
You can create a user by first double clicking on the Administration icon on the Quest desktop and then selecting 'Personnel Management' in the Administration app. Now, locate and click the 'Create User' button on the blue bar below the tool bar. This will bring up the Create User Wizard. This Wizard is designed to guide you through the simple process of creating a user. The Wizard will first ask you for the User Id and Name of the User. Then what User Groups that this user should belong to. On the last page of the Wizard, there is a 'Finish' button and a 'Add and New' button. After you have entered all of the data, click on the 'Add and New' button. If you are trying to insert multiple Users, you'll notice that the User Id and Name field have cleared for a new user. You may type in a new User and Name to create a new User now, When you are finished, click on the 'Finish' button.



Updating a User
To update a User Id, first double click on the Administration icon on the Quest desktop and then select 'Personnel Management'. Once the Personnel Management Application has started, use the predefined views to find the user you wish to update. Once you have found the User, highlight the User in the list of users and select 'Update'. This button will be on the blue bar directly beneath the tool bar. This will bring up the Update User window. This is where you can change the user's language, name or whatUser Groups the user is assigned to. When you are finished making your changes, click 'Ok'.



Deleting a User
To delete a User, or multiple users, first select the user(s) that you wish to delete. After selecting the users, click on the 'Delete' button on the Blue bar directly beneath the tool bar. You will be asked if you are sure. If you are not sure you selected the correct Users, press 'No'! If you press 'Yes', all users that are selected will be deleted out of the database.
