If your company has multiple employees using the software under single license key #, you can set up individual user accounts to track who performed each cut. This feature helps improve workflow management, accountability, and efficiency in your shop.

Additionally, once multiple users are set up, you can generate Reports that provide detailed cutting statistics by user, helping you analyze productivity, track usage, and optimize workflow management.

To add new users go to the Edit menu in the top navigation bar and click on Preferences to open the settings panel.

Click on the “Cut Accounting” tab. You will be prompted to enter a password to access the Log Accounting Settings. The default password for the Master User (the first registered user of the system) is “AFF1234”.

For security purposes, it is recommended to change the default password after initial setup.

You will be directed to the Cut Accounting Options window. To proceed, ensure that the "Enable User Control" checkbox is selected, then click the "Users" button to manage user settings.

The User List window will appear, displaying the default Master User account, which was used to access the Cut Accounting Options. Within this window, you can modify the Master User's password by selecting the account and clicking the "Edit" button.

To add a new user, click the "New" button and enter the required user details.

Ensure that the user is assigned the appropriate access rights based on their role by selecting "Can Cut", "Can Report", or both, as needed. Click "OK" to save the new user's information and apply the changes.

The newly added user will now appear in the User List. Click the "Close" button to exit the User List window.

In the Preferences window, click the "Apply" button to save the changes, then click "OK" to finalize the updates.

Don't forget to inform each user of the password you have assigned to them to ensure seamless access to the system.

From this point forward, each time a user attempts to cut a pattern, they will be prompted to enter their password. This ensures that the system accurately tracks which user is performing the cut, allowing you to review detailed cutting statistics later in the Reports section.
