  2. Enter values for the following settings:
    Username
    The user’s email address. This field is mandatory.
    First name
    The user's first name. To ensure that the user is searchable in the system, enter the user's actual name, not a nickname.
    Last name
    The user's last name. To ensure that the user is searchable in the system, enter the user's actual name, not a nickname.
    Groups
    The group that the user is assigned to. You can create groups for specific departments, groups that apply to multiple or all departments, or groups that reside outside departments. Users can belong to multiple groups.

    Note: You can modify or reassign an officer ID from the Officer ID field on the User edit page.

    Picture

Tip: Click Save and add new to create additional user accounts.

Example

The image below shows an example of a user (Audrey Williams) who is a member of two groups: Day to day operations Commanders and Loss Prevention Initial reports. Because Audrey is a member of these two groups, she will automatically be assigned to new cases that are assigned to departments that these two groups are members of.
For example, if a new case is assigned to the Loss Prevention Department, and Audrey is a member of the Initial Reports group within this department, Audrey will receive an email, notifying her that she has been assigned to a new case.
