Users grid

Displays a list of users authorized to access Sage Estimating.

The Users grid provides the following information and features:

  • User ID. The user's computer or network user ID.

  • Group Name. The network group to through which the user was added to the Users grid, if applicable. For example, if you add the West Side Estimators group to the Users grid (through the Add User window), Sage Estimating adds all users within the West Side Estimators group to the Users grid automatically.

  • First Name. The user's first name as it appears in the domain or computer user setup. You must change the user's name on the computer or domain setup to change it in the Users grid.

  • Last Name. The user's last name as it appears in the domain or computer setup. You must change the user's name on the computer or domain setup to change it in the Users grid.

  • Disabled. Select this check box to disable the user in Sage Estimating. The disabled user is then unable to perform or access features and tasks in Sage Estimating. Clear the check box to re-enable the user.
