Welcome to the Janison Insights help portal

QuickAdd User

QuickAdd is a plugin which can be used to quickly add new Users to Janison Insights using limited fields including:

  • Username
  • Password
  • User details

Customising QuickAdd

If the plugin is enabled, you can customise the QuickAdd User settings by navigating to Settings > QuickAdd User Settings.

Username

There are three options available to determine how usernames are created when using the QuickAdd feature:

OptionDescription
Do not generate usernameThe username will not be automatically generated, meaning the person creating the new User using the QuickAdd functionality will need to specify a unique username.
Generate sequential usernameThis generates an automatically sequential username based on the prefix concatenated with the next number in a sequence.

 

If this option is selected, an additional field will be displayed to enter the prefix.

Generate random usernameThis generates a random username with an optional prefix (which assists with identifying usernames created this way). Consonant letters are used. Usernames are not case sensitive.

 

If this option is selected, two additional fields will be displayed to enter the prefix and the desired length of the random component.

Password

This section relates closely to password settings.

Tip

You can learn more about setting password requirements in the Password settings section.

There are three options available to determine how passwords are created when using the QuickAdd feature:

OptionDescription
Manually set passwordThis requires the User to set a password that complies with the password complexity requirements.
Generate password from dictionaryThis generates a password from the dictionary specified in password settings. This option is only available if the setting to generate from dictionary is enabled.
Generate random usernameThis generates a random password which meets the complexity requirements specified for manually set passwords.
