==How to Add Users and Contacts==
 
 
 
You can add people to the [[Organisation Hierarchy|organisational hierarchy]] using any of the following techniques:
 
* Manually entering contacts.
 
* Uploading in bulk through '''Import wizards'''.
 
* Uploading in bulk through [[Autoloader]].
 
* Enabling one or more company [[Sign-Up Pages|sign up pages]].
 
* Importing contacts from Microsoft Outlook using the [[SmartSimple Outlook Synchronization|Outlook Plug-in]] feature.
 
* Importing using the API functionality and a custom program that your organisation could create.
 
 
 
==Users Versus Contacts==
 
 
 
* If you enable the login feature when adding people, they will be able to log into the system and you can consider then “users”, otherwise they are simply contacts.
 
* When you add people that you wish to use the system, you can choose to send each person an e-mail containing their [[Username|username]], [[Password|password]], and the [[URL]] (link) to access your copy of [[SmartSimple]].
 
* As part of the contact setup process, you assign people "roles" to define their access to system resources such as applications, folders, calendars, or discussions. Peoples' [[Role|roles]] also control the interface that they will see when they log into your copy of [[SmartSimple]].
 
 
 
==Manually adding Users==
 
 
 
People are always added to some “level’ of the [[Hierarchy|hierarchy]], so when you wish to add a new person you must first select the appropriate organisational level.
 
 
 
1. Click the '''Company''', [[Internal]] Users [[Menu|menu]].  The original person is displayed directly under the "root" organisation name. If you wish to add a new person to the root you click on the root organisation link.
 
 
 
2. Click the organisation to which you wish to add the person.
 
 
 
3. Click the '''New''', [[User]] [[Menu|menu]].
 
 
 
The '''New User – Quick Entry for Duplication Check''' window is displayed.

First name, last name, email address and phone number will be checked for duplicate entries.
 
 
 
:'''Note:''' you can define the Duplicate Checking Criteria via the [[Global Settings]] page.
 
 
 
If no potential duplicates are found, then the '''New User''' window is displayed.
