Companies Overview

This tab lists the companies to which you have access for your user lists. The companies listed here will be those that you have registered, and any which other administrators have registered and for which you have been given access permission. Use the Companies tab to add new companies to the system and administrate companies that are already registered. Note that when you create a new End User list (go to Creating a New End User List for more information), a new company with the same name as the list will automatically be created and added to the Companies list.

Click the blue Company ID link to open the properties tabs for that company. The properties tabs open at the General tab - .

Figure 1 - Example of the Companies tab

In this example, DocCompany has been selected in the upper area. The lower area's General tab shows the selected company's ID and name, and allows you to set an expiry date for the users' passwords for this list. By default there are three scenarios where a user is forced to change the password on login:

• If the password has expired (according to the "Password Expiry Days" setting).

• If an end user list administrator has reset the user’s password.

• On the first login for a new user.

• Never force users to change password - if this box is selected, the user will not be forced to change password in any of these scenarios.
• Password expiry days - if the Never force... box is not checked, set the number of days a password is to be valid before it must be changed.

Note: You must register a company before you can register users.
