What is a User?
In HammerTech, a User refers to an individual employed by the company licensing the software (i.e. the Main Builder). When someone working for a Subcontractor has a login to HammerTech, they are also classified as a User but are referred to as either a Primary Contact or a Nominated Representative.
This guide explains how to add an existing User to a Project and manage their settings. If you need to create a new User, refer to Company > Setting Up A New User.
Once a User is set up in the HammerTech system, they can be easily imported into new Projects, with settings managed on a per-Project basis.
Managing Subcontractor Users
Primary Contacts and Nominated Representatives are created and managed through the Employer's profile. For more details, refer to:
All other individuals using the system, such as inducted workers, DO NOT have a HammerTech login. These individuals are managed by Users via the Employers and/or Personnel modules.
