5.3. The View/Edit User Form

 

 

 

 

Clicking on any of the cells in the User List results in the full information for that user being displayed in the View/Edit Users Form. This form can also be accessed from the <View/Edit User> option on the <Users> menu.

 

The View/Edit User Form provides options to access, review, change and delete a user’s stored information on the My Gateway server.

 

All the fields on the form marked with a star ‘*’ are required fields and before submitting any changes to the server, these fields need to be completed. The <User Name> field allows the user to select a specific user to view or edit. Any fields with a grey background cannot be changed and the information in these fields is supplied by the server.

 

Delete User

 

Users with the appropriate access privileges and rights can use the <Delete User> option from the dropdown menu to delete the selected user from the server. Note that once a user is deleted from the server, the user’s details are no longer available, and the user will no longer have access to the admin portal. To allow the user to access the portal again a new user will need to be created.

 

Closing the View/Edit User Form

 

Clicking the <X> button or pressing the <Esc> key will close the form and delete any changes the user may have made to the selected user’s details.

 

Clicking the minimise form button, <> will close the form while maintaining any changes the user may have made to the selected user’s information. Changed information will not be submitted to the server for processing; but will be available to the user by loading the View/Edit User Form from the <View/Edit User> option on the <Users> menu.

 

Clicking the <Submit> button or pressing the <Enter> key will result in the form’s data being checked for completeness and, if complete, the updated user information being sent to the server. The user is informed of the result of the server’s attempt to update the user details through either a Warning message in case of failure, or an Alert message in case of a successful update.
