How Do I Add Users to the System?
The following will instruct you how to log into the backend system. From here you will learn how to enter personnel into the system.
Using a modern web browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 8.0+), navigate to either: http://www.medic-clipboard.com OR http://www.MedicClipBoard.com.
No matter which address you enter, you will be redirected to the correct website.
The first screen will ask you for your "site code." Your site code is typically a three letter code that will be used to identify your fire department. Digital EMS will provide access to the backend system and a site code will be assigned to your agency. Your site code can be changed at any time by asking Digital EMS to do this for you.
You will be taken to your department's login page. You will need to enter your username/password on this page.
Note: IF you forget your password, you can easily press the "forgot password" link which will guide you through how to reset your password.
Once you have successfully logged in, you will be taken to your department's DashBoard. You will use this screen later, so for now, please click on the "USERS" tab located near the top of the screen.
Once you have entered the "USERS" page, please click on the button labeled "ADD NEW USER."
You will now see a pop up which will allow you to enter new users. Please see the field descriptions below:
- First Name: The first name of the new user.
- Last Name: The last name of the new user.
- Username: The desired username for the new user. (Note: this will be the username that the user will use to login to the system)
- Email: The department issued email for the new user. (Note: entering the user's personal email is NOT recommended)
- Phone: The phone number of the new user. (Note: this field is NOT required)
- Group: The rights "access" group that the user will belong to. There are a total of three user groups: Admin, Captain, and Firefighter.
- Paramedic/EMT#: The users paramedic or EMT# that is assigned to the user. This field is used to "sync" with the iPad application. If the user does not respond to EMS calls, then it would be best to leave this field blank. In the example of a Battalion Chief, most do not respond to EMS calls, so this would not be necessary.
- Active: This box is checked (ON) by default. IF this checkbox is unchecked (OFF), the user will NOT be able to login to the system. This option can be used if someone is no longer allowed to view/modify the backend system.
- Password/Retype Password: The desired password of the new user. (Note: this can be changed later by the user once they have logged on)
Once you have entered all necessary information, clicking the "CREATE" button will create the user.
