Field Description
User ID

Use this field to create an identification code for new user data or view an existing user ID retrieved using or the User Name field.

When creating new user data, use this field to enter the identification code you want to use for the new user. As you enter the ID, each letter displays on the screen in uppercase, even when you enter it in lowercase. This ensures that the same sequence of letters and numbers will map to one Costpoint user ID. For example, if a user enters smithj, SmithJ, or SMITHJ, Costpoint will assign the attributes of Costpoint user SMITHJ to that user.

User Name

Use this field to create a descriptive name for this User ID or retrieve an existing user name for which you want to update data.

When creating new user data, use this field to enter a descriptive name for the user identification you enter in the User ID field.

When updating user data, use this field to enter, or click to select, the descriptive name of the user ID for which you want to update data.

Note: You can select the Can Change Name check box on the Information tab to allow this user to change his/her user name as he/she desires.
