Many clients use the Manager for themselves or are self employed.
If you only manage a single account, the Manager 2.0 is used pretty much like the Manager 1.2 was.

If you have a small company with two users or more or a large corporate account with hundred of users
this tutorial is for you



Understanding the concept


The Manager software is a database of all GPS points grouped into trips along with all the information about them.

The TripLogik system don't store any of the users data, other than the users account and his instrument information.


When the instrument is connected to the PC, data is transferred into the Manager as raw information.
The Manager needs to contact the TripLogik Mapping Server, to translate the GPS coordinates into usable data.
This process is totally anonymous as Triplogik does not keep a record of where you have been of any places you have visited.


When data is completely sent from the instrument to the Manager application, this one will consult the Mapping Server in order to identify the start and end places of a trip, retrieving the physical address of those places, calculate and trace the trip, measure the distance from the entire trip, set the type etc.

The Mapping Server only requires the Manager app to identify the user and confirm the instrument in use has a valid subscription in order to request and receive the information. TripLogik Map server do not store any trip or places related to this instrument.

The Mapping Server account (TripLogik Map subscription)  
When you initially setup the Manager 2,0 , the application will communicate with the Mapping server, in order to setup an administrative user account. It is automatically created from your name, email and Password.


The Mapping server will send a confirmation to the email used at creation time.
Until the user confirms his email, the account is not usable.

User type  

The Manager 2.0 considers the first user, when the Manager application is installed, as the main "Admin" user and owner of the account.


An Admin does not necessarily have to own and be assigned with an instrument.

All other users created  are simple users, and will not own an account as they will be included in the Main Admin account.


__________

BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND SETUP YOUR USERS

Determine if your users will have independent personal accounts or if all users will be included in a single corporate account.

Personal account VS corporate
If a user opens his own account, any instrument registered to this account, can not be added to the corporate account.

Since an instrument can not be own by 2 distinct users, the Mapping Server will block any other account from reusing the instrument.


How to use and setup a corporate account


Open a new account for the administrator 

An account must be open by an administrator
To start the process, this person must install the Manager 2,0 on his computer. This will create an new account that will be the main admin. (even if this person don't have or use an instrument)


Adding your instruments to the corporate account
If you have all of your instruments available, plug them into the admin computer, and add them to your list.
When ever you plug in a new instrument, if it is not found in the application database, the Manager will offer you to add them.

If you sent your instrument/user list to TripLogik, we will include all of your instrument to your account

You can add all of your instrument serial numbers in the Manager

Adding users 

The administrator must add users that will be part of the corporate group  

(From the User menu in the Manager)  

Adding instruments

Connect the instrument to the PC, one by one, to add them to the database and the account. 

The application will ask to assign the instrument to a user from the list that was already entered in the previous step.


More than 25 instruments

  • If you have more than 25 instruments, activation will be done in the mapping server when you purchased your enterprise subscription.


Less than 25 instruments

  • If you have less than 25 instruments, you must activate them separately 



Installing the Manager 2.0 on Users own PC  

Once the administrator account is setup with the list of users and instrument

The administrator must install the Manager using his credential on the users PC

1) Install Manager 2.0 using the admin credentials

2) Create a local user account in the user management 

3) Plug in the instrument to add it to the Manager 2.0

4) Assign the instrument to this user 

5) Log out of the Manager 

6) Login to the Manager using the newly created local users credential


The main account user is the administrator on this PC, but the local user only has access to his data .
