System overview

What is an organization?

An Organization is used to identify users and content in different departments within an institution. Depending on the size of the institution, some Organizations will have one department while others will have several.

What is hierarchy?

A defined, family tree hierarchy provides structure to the organization. The advantage of using the hierarchy is for reporting and assigning roles for access.

Roles (permissions)

When creating users, a System Administrator will determine what Role (permissions) will be assigned to the user.  The Role determines what actions a user can take inside SimCapture Pro.

Participant types

System Administrators can assign participant types for the identification of participants during a recorded session. When recording a session, all participants must be assigned a participant type.

Note: Participant Type does not grant any permissions to Users.

Logging into SimCapture Pro

To log into SimCapture Pro, just enter your username and password. The interface is accessible wherever network access is available.
