- Name: Click the Lookup button to select the corresponding contact and click the Select button. If the contact is not listed, you must complete the procedure above for Adding Employees as Contacts.
- User Name: Type the desired username. The user name must be at least 6 characters long. For example, you can type the first initial plus last name.
- New Password: Enter the user name as the password.
- Confirm Password: Retype the user name again.
- Security Profile(s): Click the Lookup button to select an appropriate security profile for this user.
