Create Users
On the Users page of the system settings, authorized administrators can create new user accounts for the locations they manage. You can create new users one at a time, or you can create multiple users at once by uploading a spreadsheet file. When you create or edit one user at a time, you can enter more information about that user, such as their organization and phone number.
The location you assign to a new user governs their access to provider facilities, patients associated with those facilities, and EMTrack features. For more information, see Locations and Roles.

To create multiple user accounts
You can create multiple user accounts by uploading a spreadsheet file (XLS, XLSX, or CSV) with information about the new users. The file should include separate columns for each person's first name, last name, username, and the email address or PIN they will use to log in. You can download template files by clicking the download link on the Upload Users window.
By default, the link provides a template for password users. If you select File contains PIN users, the link instead provides a template for PIN-only users. The two templates are nearly identical, except the template for password users has a Login Email column, whereas the PIN-only template has a PIN column. You must upload password users in a separate file from PIN-only users. For more information about these types of users, see Password vs PIN.
A PIN must contain exactly four numbers, and it cannot consist of four identical numbers or an ascending/descending series of four numbers (for example, 5555 or 5678).
During a bulk upload, you must choose one time zone, location, and role to apply to all the new users. If needed, you can later edit multiple users at once to change their location and role. You can also edit individual users to add more details, such as their organization and phone number.
-
On the upper right, click System Settings. The system settings open to the Users page.
-
Above the table of users, click Upload Users. The Upload Users window opens.
-
Click Choose File, then select and upload the file you want to import users from.
-
Select the Time Zone, Location, and Role for the new users.
-
If the file does not contain headers for each type of data, such as First Name and Username, clear File contains headers.
-
Click Next.
-
EMTrack tries to automatically map the file's columns to the corresponding EMTrack fields, such as Username and Login Email. If any of the columns are mapped incorrectly, use the EMTrack Field Name menus to edit them.
-
Click Next. A summary displays the number of users who will or will not be created.
The Users not mapped row shows the number of people who will not receive a new user account due to issues with their information. For example, their email address may already be associated with an EMTrack account, or their PIN may be misconfigured. You may need to review your file for issues, correct them, and restart this process.
