When you add a contact to eICS, you must determine if they are an internal or external contact. External contacts can be selected to receive notifications, but they do not have access to log in to the solution.

Note: To change a user's login email, you must simply create a new account with the new login email and deactivate or delete the account with the old login email.

Important: If you want the person to have access to the solution, you must provide a login email. Then, the person will receive a welcome email, through which they must activate their account. For more information, go to Activate Your Account.

To add a new contact

  1. On the Home page, point to the Planning menu and click Contacts. The Contacts for page opens.

  2. In the Contacts for 

Prior to adding a contact, it is recommended that you search for the contact and review potential matches to ensure you are not creating a duplicate. The contact may already be in the system, but not associated with the facility or domain in which you are working. If you search for and find the contact is already in the system, you can simply link them to the facility. If the contact is not yet in the system, you can add them and then link them to the facility.

Tip: If you want the contact to have access to eICS, you must enable their account by providing a username, a phone number and an email address.
