This blog will provide instructional information on how to add Users to Form².

Background
Within our school, students will be bulk imported at the beginning of the year. Tutors and Admin are added throughout the year.

Users within Form² include: students, tutors and admin; the difference will come down to the different roles that are given.

Task 1

• Access Form² > Adminstraion > User

 

 

---

Task 2
Searching for a User

• To search for a user, Click on any of the small arrows on the top row. For this example, we will use the row ‘Name’.
• Type in the User’s name, this does not need to be the user’s full name, partial will also work.
  • Press the ‘Green Tick’ button.

 

Note: If the User is not there, a “No Matching users” notice will be given.

Task 3
Adding a User.

• Click the ‘+ Add user’ button.

 

• Complete the user’s name and email address.
  • This also needs to be done, if you are setting up a station.

Note: For our school, we use ‘Use remote authentication (via SAML)’, this is part of our single sign-on which allows the User, to use their UoP password and username when logging into Form².

• Tick the ‘remote authentication (via SAML)’
  • If you are setting up a station user, do NOT tick this box.
• Choose the ‘Roles’ required for the user.
  • Students will not have any ‘Roles’ assigned to them.
  • If you are setting up a station user, they also will not have any ‘Roles’ assigned to them.

Assign a user to a group.
Note: On the left of this page are ‘Groups’, for users to view forms in the Form² app, they need to be added to a group.
For more information see the blog on, ‘how to create groups’.

• Chose the group.
• Save

Task 4
Adding Users through ‘Bulk import’.

Note: For Bulk import, you will be required to set up a CSV file.

• Create a CSV.
  • Open an Excel sheet.
  • Place the word ‘name’ in the first column, top row.
  • Place the word ‘email’ in the second column, top row.
  • Place your users, Name and email address directly underneath the top row, creating a row for each user.
  • Save the sheet as CSV
• Select the Group for your users, if you miss this you will need to add a group to each individual user separately.
• Tick the ‘remote authentication (via SAML)’
• Chose your file.

Tip: If you find Form² is rejecting your CSV form, check for spaces in the cells of the CSV.

 

Adding a StationUser summary.

• Click the ‘+ Add user’ button.
• Complete the StationUser’s name and email address.
  • Do NOT tick ‘remote authentication (via SAML)’.
  • Do NOT Choose a ‘Role’.
• Select a group – which should be named ‘StationUser Group’.
• Edit the StationUser’s account.
  • Complete the password.
• Save and test the account.

Task 5
Editing a user.
To edit any user, you first need to find the user that requires editing.

• Search and find the user that requires editing.
• Click on the user’s name.

• Click Edit

• Edit the user as required
  • For station users, you will be required to enter a password here.

Task 6
Deleting a User.

• Search and find the user that requires to be deleted.
• Click the Red box X

Note: Deleting anyone from Form², will see the loss of their submissions. It will see the loss of any forms or dashboards made by that User.

Within our school, we decided to create a user named after our team and we assigned all our forms to this user, ensure any individuals leaving will not affect Form² forms, dashboard or submissions.

• Click OK.

 

Now you have reached the end of this blog, create your own User for your department.
