How to Manage Your Account

To switch between Departments access the departments drop-down under the Simpro Digital Forms logo and your name and email address. It displays the name of the department currently being accessed. Click All to view Submissions and Users across all departments, manage Departments, view cross-department Reports, and access Account Settings.

The first user who signed up for your Simpro Digital Forms account has the Account Admin Role and is able to access and create departments. Additional users can be assigned to the Account Admin Role to give them access to all departments as required. Learn more in How to Manage Users and Seats.

To assign users to access specific departments:

1. Select All from the department drop-down and click Account > Departments.
2. Click on a department.
3. Click Manage Members.
4. Select users that require access to this department.
5. Under Role update the access that they have within this department. Learn more in User Roles.
6. Click Save.

Note that if you integrate with Simpro Premium, departments are automatically created for each of your companies when you first authorise the integration.

If you are using Multi-company for Simpro Premium and a new company is added to your Simpro Premium build, you can Resync Departments to update Simpro Digital Forms with current company information and create any additional departments.

To resync departments:

1. Select All from the Department drop-down and click Account > Departments.
2. Click Resync Departments.

Simpro Digital Forms will check Simpro Premium for any new companies. Any new companies are created as departments.

Account settings allow you to adjust settings that apply to all of your users and forms across all departments. These are the default settings unless the setting has been changed on an individual user or form level. To access account settings go to All > Account > Account Settings.

The following settings can be applied to your account:

Enter an Other Prefix to include some text that appears before all of your submission numbers and before the Label.

A user, also referred to as a profile, is provided for each user that signs up to Digital Forms. Add users to provide employees access to Simpro Digital Forms. Edit user details such as their name, email address, location and default department. Change passwords, disable users to free up seats and edit the departments users have access to.

Users can be managed across all departments or within a specific department depending on Role access.

Create groups within a specific department to organise users and ensure forms are assigned to the correct people. Groups could represent employees that have a specific skill set, certain responsibilities, specific teams, or a group of users who operate in a specific location. Any time a new user is added to a User Group they are automatically assigned any forms assigned to that group. When creating and organising your groups it is good to remember that employees can belong to multiple groups.

In addition to users with the Admin Role being able to update other users, each Simpro Digital Forms user has access to update their own profile. Like updating other users, updating your own profile allows you to edit details such as your name, email address, location and your default department if you have the Account Admin role. You can also change your password.

Reports allow you to learn more about how employees are accessing the Simpro Digital Forms platform. As employees use the platform more and more these reports become more useful. If you want to create reports based on the data you are collecting, you’ll need to export the data from Submissions and use an external reporting tool such as Excel.
