To use prototyping to create user records:If you create a new user record right after having displayed or created another user record, the system prompts you to use the previous user's record as a prototype for the new one you are creating.
If you use the prototype record, the system populates the fields in the new user record with the information, authorizations, and assignments from the previous record. Edit these settings as necessary.
To use prototyping to create user records:
From the System > System Files > User Control menu, select User Maintenance to display the User Maintenance screen.
Note: You must be assigned the USER.MAINT.ALLOWED authorization key to access this screen.
In the User ID field, type the word new and press Enter. Then enter the new user ID.
The system displays the following prompt: Use last record as Proto (Y/N):
At the prompt, enter Y.
The system copies the authorization, account, and branch assignments from the previous user record. You do not need to use the Auth Keys, Accts, or Brchs hot keys again, unless you want to make changes for this user.
Change the information displayed in the remaining fields as needed for the new user.
For example, enter the new user's name and birth date.
Press Esc to save the user record and display the Password Maintenance screen.
Create a password for this user.
