Step 2: Add a New User

At the top of the Users screen, click the “Add User” button.

This opens the New User Creation form.

Location Assignment:

  • Use the dropdown menu to select the site or location the user will be attached to.

  • Only one location can be selected at this stage.


Time Zone:

  • Use the dropdown to set the correct time zone for this user’s region.

  • This ensures scheduled calls, tasks, and alerts align correctly.

Once all fields are complete, click the “Create User” button.


Step 3: Configure the User Profile (Post-Creation)

After the user has been created, additional options will become available for configuration.

3.1 User Permissions

You can now assign permissions by toggling individual access levels:

  • Manage campaigns (create, edit, delete)

  • Assign to multiple site groups if applicable

3.2 Report Permissions

This section allows the admin or site manager to grant the user access to key reports:

  • Enable view-only access to specific reports

  • Allow edit access for users who need to generate, modify, or export reports

  • Tailor report access based on role responsibilities or location requirements


3.3 Voice Configuration (Phone Settings)

If the user will be assigned a phone:

  • Scroll down to the Voice section.

  • Choose the Extension Type (usually "IP Phone").

  • Assign a unique Extension Number (e.g., 1007).

  • Set the Caller ID to reflect the site’s main phone number.

Optional toggles:

  • Enable User Voicemail

  • List in Directory

  • Record Calls (recommended for quality assurance and call history)

  • This action will unassign the phone extension and make it available for other users.

You can configure notification preferences for this user:

Enable notifications for various triggers:

  • Daily advisor reports

  • Campaign updates

  • Negative call alerts

Choose delivery method:

Events such as:

  • Incoming calls (appears at the bottom-right of the main display)

  • Repair order updates (all or user-specific)

  • Task creation or updates


3.6 Mobile App Access (Optional)

If your team uses the DC Connect Plus mobile app:

Assign task visibility for the app:

This will give them access to messages, tasks, voicemails, and calls on mobile.

Save Changes when you are finished.
