Settings

Group Settings:

Group Settings is a section where miscellaneous configuration options for the account are available, including:

  • Group Name: This is the account name initially entered by AMAG Technology when the group/account was created. This field should not be changed.
  • Default Language: Currently only English is available.
  • Inactivity Timeout: A user is logged out after x minutes of inactivity. This setting can be completely disabled if required.
  • Sub-Domain Name: The sub-domain is the customer-specific component of the web address (or URL) for the system. The default URL is: https://registration.symmetry.net. In this example “registration” is the default sub-domain. Each customer is required to enter their own unique sub-domain. The example in the screen below is “training”. In this example the URL for the system would be: https://training.symmetry.net.
  • Use Email Address As User Name: When checked an identity will be able to use their email address as there user name. All primary email addresses must be unique for this setting to be able to be selected.

If a user tries to log into the application via the old URL, they will be automatically directed to the new URL with the new sub-domain.

ID Reference No. Settings:

ID Reference No. Settings allows an administrator to configure a unique ID Reference No. which will be applied automatically to all Identities that are entered into the system. The ID Reference No. is separate from an employee number and allows a unique identifier to be applied to everyone, regardless of whether or not they are an employee. Some customers prefer to keep their employee number hidden from the general public, thus a generic “ID Reference No.” may be preferred.

It is not recommended to change the settings below once the account is configured and a large number of existing Identities already have a reference number assigned to them. These settings should only be changed after careful consideration and analysis of the existing identity data set.

  • ID Reference No. Length: This is the length of the unique identifier. The default is 8 alphanumeric digits.
  • Use Hyphen: Checking this box adds a hyphen in the middle of the reference number.
  • Use Leading Character: Adds a customer-specific character to the front of the reference number.
  • ID Reference No. Preview: This is a preview of what the ID Reference No. will look like with the current configuration settings.
  • Apply and Backfill: Clicking “Execute Now” will apply the current settings to all EXISTING Identities in the system. Simply clicking the save button (without executing a backfill) will ensure that the settings only apply to NEW Identities that are added to the system in future.

An ID Reference No. is assigned to all Identities regardless of whether they were added to the system manually, via spreadsheet upload, IDM Importer, or via the API.
