User ManagementMain

Users are those that can log into NPFCONNECT.

If your NPFCONNECT account gives you management over other users, you can view them by clicking "Users" in the Quick Links section to the left.

The same customization options that you learned in the Dashboard section apply to this list. You can export to Excel, use Column Filtering, or sort by any column.


User ManagementCreate a New User Account

Important: Make sure you know what center a user belongs to before creating them. Also make sure the center already exists. Refer to the "Site Management" for instructions on viewing centers.

To create a new user, click the "Create a New User" link.



User Login: This is the login name the user will type to access the site.

Password: Must contain at least one number and one capital letter, and be at least 6 characters long.

Once you've entered this information, click "Begin Creation."



Primary Role: Click on the down arrow to select the new user's role type. The options in this list vary based on the level of authority of your user account. A user account can only create accounts with less authority than their own. A center manger, for example, cannot create a regional manager user account.

Once you've select the user account type, applicable options are listed below. If the user is a DME user, the centers you manage are listed. If the user is an area manager, the areas you manage are listed. Select the appropriate option for the user.

Enter any other requested information on the page, then click "Save."


User ManagementDelete a User Account

There are circumstances when a manager may wish to delete a user account. An employee who leaves the company, for example, should no longer have access to NPFCONNECT information.

To delete a user from the "Users" section, first locate the user by sorting or column filtering.

Click "Select" next to the user.

Proceed to the next screen...

Site ManagementMain

If you manage more than one center, you can view these centers by clicking on "Sites" in the Quick Links section to the left. The top part of the grid lists each area containing centers you manage.

The same customization options that you learned in the Dashboard section apply to this list. You can export to Excel, use Column Filtering, or sort by any column.

In the list, the "Child Of" column represents the area under which the center is categorized. For example, a center in Escondido, CA might be categorized under an area called "San Diego Area."


Site ManagementCreate a New Center

If you manage more than one center, you have the ability to add new centers to the areas you manage.

The top part of the grid lists each area containing centers you manage. To create a new center beneath one of these areas, click on the folder icon to the left of that area on the grid.

Once you have created a new center, please contact NPF at (760) 432-0145 or [email protected]. We need to link the center with our internal database so that you can begin to see their Dashboard results.
