This guide will detail the steps of adding a new user to the system and installing the software for the new user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding a User<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To add a new User to DataXchange, login to the client and go to <strong>Manage \u2192 Users \u2192 Users<\/strong>. Click Add to create a new user. Most of the fields here are optional but the following information is required or recommended:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>User Name<\/strong>: The name used to login to the system.<\/li><li><strong>First and Last Name<\/strong>: The user&#8217;s real first name and last name.<\/li><li><strong>Company Email<\/strong> (optional): Enter an email address here if the user will be receiving email notifications or reports.<\/li><li><strong>Group Membership<\/strong>: The group(s) to which the user belongs.

If not the password will be displayed on screen and should be noted down and provided to the new user manually. In either case the user will be asked to change their password upon first login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing DataXchange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the user has been added to the system they will need to install DataXchange on their PC. From that PC go to <a href=\"https:\/\/scytec.com\/\">https:\/\/scytec.com\/<\/a>, choose <strong>Getting DataXchange<\/strong> from the menu and click <strong>Install DataXchange Now<\/strong>.

If your Internet connection is working there are two errors you&#8217;re likely to see. &#8220;The Account credentials are incorrect&#8221; indicates the Account Number or Password is not correct. &#8220;The Application credentials are incorrect&#8221; indicates the User Name and Password do not match. Double-check this information and try again. If you still cannot proceed contact your DataXchange Administrator to reset your password.
