The Modify User function allows the TAC to make changes to information that has already been added to the Omnixx database for a particular user, such as an incorrect name. It is important to note that Omnixx does not currently allow changing a User ID once it has been assigned. Note: Only DCI can move a user to another agency. If a user leaves your agency, you

should “disable” the operator and notify DCI by sending a text message to terminal PIU or contact your Training Specialist.

To Modify a User:

� Select the Modify User option that appears in the Users drop-down menu.

Figure 2-14 – Omnixx Console Main Menu – Users Functions

� If a user has already been selected (as mentioned in the previous section of this

manual), the User Identification screen is then displayed and populated with the previously entered information for the selected user. The User ID is displayed in gray text because it cannot be changed.

Note: If a user has not been selected, a list of all available users for the TAC’s

sub-agency will appear in the Functionality Area of the interface. You must now select the user to be modified by highlighting the user name and clicking the OK button.

The Delete User function allows the TAC to delete an existing user from the Omnixx database. Use this feature to delete a User ID that was entered incorrectly. Warning: Deleting a user will completely remove the user from the Omnixx database, along with his certification authorizations, test history, etc. The only time a TAC should delete a user is when a User ID was entered incorrectly and the student has not yet attended certification class or tested. Once the incorrect user has been deleted, the correct user information may be entered. To Delete a User:

� The operator to be deleted must first be selected. Follow the instructions in the “Select A User” section of this booklet.

� Once selected, click on the Delete User function that appears in the Users drop-

down menu.

The User Reports function is utilized to display various customizable reports on users in the Omnixx database. A TAC can only print reports on the users in the TAC’s sub-agency. These reports include:

� User Summary Use this report to: 1) Determine what applications a user is authorized to access (OFB – Force

Browser, OC – Console, OT – Trainer); all users are authorized to access Force and Trainer once they successfully complete certification class, while only TAC’s have authorization for Console.

2) Determine who at your agency is authorized as a TAC.

� User Certification Status Summary Use this report to: 1) Search for a user by name 2) Search for a user by User ID 3) Search for users who will be expiring within a given period of time (next 30-

60-90 days, 6 months, etc.) 4) Search by module certification (who is certified at an agency in a certain

module)

� User Test History Summary Use this report to:

1) Determine what tests a particular user has taken with results 2) Determine what users has taken a particular test (displays users names and/or

ID’s)

As a TAC, the most commonly used report will probably be the User Certification Status Summary report. To Build a User Certification Status Summary Report:
