Users
UsersYou may use the database as either a general user (Public) or a private user. As a private user, you will be able to set up groups that are either public or private. No other users will have access to your individual client records or your private groups. Others will have access to summary measures from your public groups and will be able to include their own clients in your public groups. Others will not have access to your individual client records even if your client is included in public groups.
Private Users
To create a Private User account, select "Log In…" from the Database menu. Click the "New User" button, then give yourself a user name and password. Click the "Log In" button. Remember your password!
Public User
If you choose to access the database as a Public user, simply select "Log In…" from the Database menu. Then click the "Log In" button. As a public user, you have access to summary measures from any public group and will be able to add records to any public group. Remember that any record you add will affect the summary measures of the public groups to which your client is assigned, so be sure you are only adding quality data. It is also important to realize that any others logging in as public will have full access to all of the individual client records you store here.
Change User Name or Password
To change your user name or password, log in to your user account then select My User Account... from the Database menu. Type and verify your new password in the fields provided. You can also use this screen to rename your account. If you want to transfer your data to another user on a different computer, contact Cyma for instructions.
Delete a User Account
To delete a user account, Log In to the account then select My User Account... from the Database menu. Click the Delete button. Deleting an account will delete all the clients, data records, and public and private groups that were created/input through that user account. All other users should have removed their clients from the pertinent groups before the deletion. Then their client information and records will not not be altered. This action may not be reversed except by Restoring the Database from Backup before quitting the StepWatch program.
Note: The Public user account may not be deleted.
