Users

Use this form to view and manage all users who are currently saved in PPM Administrator.

This form presents information in two views (Users Detail View and Users List View), which dictate how PPM Administrator displays user records. For details on how to switch between views, see the corresponding description in the table below.

To access this form, see Display the Users Form.

Field Description
Find User At the top of the Users Detail View, enter a partial or complete name or user ID in the Find User field to find and select an existing record or set of records that you want to view or edit. You can also click the filter drop-down arrow on the left side of the field to search for all available users. The application searches for entries in the following fields: First Name, Last Name, User ID. For more information, see Use the Find Field.

On Users List View, however, this field is read-only. Next to it, the total number of records in the search results displays. To find users, click at the upper-right corner of the grid.

Use these arrow icons to scroll through the records in the search results and display a different record to display on Users Detail View. The numbers indicate which record you are viewing out of the total number of records in the search results. On Users List View, however, only the total number of records display.
+New User Click this button at the upper right of the form to add a user. Enter information for the user on the various tabs on Users Detail View.
Click this icon to display the Users List View. Fields are displayed in columns in a grid, rather than on separate tabs of the form. In each grid, you can display and edit data for multiple records at one time, with data for each record displayed in a row. This makes it easy to compare and update multiple records at one time because you do not have to open individual records. For more information, see the Columns on the Users List View description on this page.

You can add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid. You can import users from file or active directory. You can also export the data in the gird as a CSV file and download it. For more information about the common buttons and options and how they function, see Basics.

Click this icon to switch to Users Detail View, and edit the contents of a single record. All fields for the selected record are displayed on the form, typically on one or more tabs. Initially, the detail view is used by default when you open hub forms. For more information, see the Tabs on the Users Detail View description on this page.

You can import from active directory, copy, delete, or export the record to an XLSX file and download it.

User ID

When you select an existing user to view on Users, the user ID displays at the top of the form below the form header.

Last modified date, time, and user

On Users Detail View, the last modified date, time, and user name display below the User ID to indicate when the corresponding record was last modified and the name of the person who made the changes, unless the user ID is not mapped to a user name, in which case only the user ID displays.

Other Actions Depending on whether you are on Users List View or Users Detail View, you can perform actions such as copying, importing from file or active directory services, sync with active directory, exporting (all or selected) to CSV or XLSX, or deleting users by accessing this drop-down menu and choosing the appropriate option. For more information, see Other Actions Drop-Down Menu.
Save This button only displays when you make changes to a record, replacing Other Actions on Users Detail View . Click it when you are done with changes.

On Users List View, you can select another row, switch to Users Detail View, or go to another form to save your changes.

These grid header options allows you to expand to full screen, filter the list, download the data to CSV, and add columns by clicking the corresponding icon.

For more information, see Working with Grids and Exporting Data.
