When adding a person to Feng Office, you are doing one of two things:

1. You are creating a new user (so that they can access the system)
2. Simply add the contact information (for reference, e-mailing, etc.)

For every person in Feng Office, you will at least have the contact information.

There are currently several ways in which you can create a new user in Feng Office:

1. Dashboard widget quick “add”
2. Settings Panel “add”
3. Contacts tab “add”

When you log in to Feng Office, you will notice a Dashboard with several widgets. On your right, you may see one similar to the following:

In that widget, you will be able to see some of the people who have last had activity in the project, client, folder, or workspace you are in.

You may also be able to create a new user by clicking on the “Add user” button at the end of the list. You will be redirected to the following screen:

The following are the fields required to complete:

• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• User type: This value will be used to limit the user permissions (i.e.: Administrator)

More contact info: In this tab, you will be able to add more information about the new user, such as their birthday, their address, and notes about him/her.

User data: In this tab, you will be able to specify the password and the username for the new user and/or send them an email notification to the address entered so he/she can define the password.

Permissions: In this tab, you will be able to configure the user´s permissions beforehand. Here You will find more information regarding permissions and how to set them.

Linked objects: In this tab, you will be able to link an object to the newly added user (for example, a document or a contact)

After you fill in all the details, please click on the 'Add user' button. If you click on the “send e-mail notification” option on the User Data tab, an email will be sent to the email you input so that the person can set up their password.

• Note: After entering the user, if you did not do so at the moment, it is always recommended that you check the user permissions that the system assigned by default. You may want to add or remove access permissions for the new user.

You can add Feng Office users on the settings panel, too.

Here is how:

1. Go to the settings panel.

2. Click on 'Users, Groups and Permissions', and then on 'Add user'

3. Enter the user's information (as explained in the previous section)

* Note: After entering the user, if you did not do so at the moment, it is always recommended that you check the user permissions that the system assigned by default. You may want to add or remove access permissions to the new user.

To add a person to the contact list view, you have to:

1 - Go to the “Contacts” tab.

2 - Click on the “New” button. Then, select “User”.

3 - Enter the new user´s information (as explained above)
