How do I create a user who cannot change any information?
Only the Administrator can add new users. From the main menu click on 'Admin', 'Security' and 'Users'. Complete the user details and to set them to read only check the 'Cannot change any information' box.
How do I quickly change my password

At the log in screen enter your user ID and password. Add to the end of your password a ? if the password is correct it will then enable you to enter and confirm a new password.

Remember for extra security the administrator can set users to change their password regularly every 3 months, for example.

How do I activate the town from postcode lookup?
This facility enables the city, county and country to be added automatically when the postcode is inserted and the chevron clicked. To activate simply go to 'Master Tables', select 'Your Organisation' and complete the details, in particular the 'City'.
Can I backup my data directly to a CD?
No, as with most programs you cannot write directly to a CD drive. Instead make a backup of your data to the hard disk then copy it to your CD using your normal CD writing software.
How can I automatically remove people from groups who have stopped participating for more than six months?
Click on 'Master tables', 'Parameters' and 'Housekeeping' and set 'Group participation' to 6. Next time you complete a housekeeping it will automatically remove all those that have stopped attending for more than six months.
One of my users has forgotton their password. Can I retrieve it for them?
Only the administrator can view existing passwords or set a new temporary password for a user. Click on 'Admin', 'Security' and 'Passwords'. Navigate to the required user and it will tell you their password.
Our computer crashed and the administrator is unable to log in. What can we do?
Call Data Developments Technical support on (01902) 824045. We will be able to log you in and re-activate the administrator log-in.
I have created two users, an Admin user and User 1. Which one should I use?
For greater security the Admin user should only be used for setting defaults, creating users and other security settings.

For normal day-to-day use create a new user specifically for this purpose, for example User 1. You are not limited to the number of users you can create in Membership Co-ordintor.
