You can access the "Users" window by manually appending the /User/ folder to the CDP Server address in the browser address bar. Example: http://10.61.200.31/User/. Note that the address is case sensitive.

The "Users" window is divided into the following areas:

  • Users Menu - Provides access to the actions which relate to customizing the "Users" list.
  • Users List - The Users added to the system are displayed in this area.
  • Details Pane - After you select an item in the list, its details are displayed in this area. 

You can also access the "Users" list associated with the selected Agent, using the Users Tab of the Agent "Details" Pane. See more information in Accessing Agents.

  • Create New User - Allows you to add a new User to the system. After clicking on this button, you will be able to define the new User properties. See Adding Users.

  • Show All - Visible only when a filter is applied. Cancels filter settings and shows all records in the "Users" list. See Customizing the Users List.


The "Users" List

The "Users" list provides information about Users in the grid.

Note
You have the ability to organize information, such as filtering out the items you do not need to see. You can also sort items, limit the number of items displayed per page, and specify which columns you want to display. See Customizing the Users List.

  • Arrows - Turns over pages.
    • First - Opens the fist page.
    • Previous - Opens the previous page.
    • Next - Opens the next page.
    • Last - Opens the last page.

  • Items Per Page - Used to define how many items to display per page in the "Users" list. The system remembers your settings. Unless you change this setting, you see 10 items per page. If you want to see more/less items per page, you can change the number and press <Enter>. The maximum number of items per page is 25.

Details Pane

This pane provides detailed information about the User selected in the list. There can be six (6) tabs:

  • Details
  • Groups
  • Administrators

    The tabs can be shown/hidden depending on the user properties.


Note
You can collapse/expand the details of a block by clicking on the header of the corresponding block.
