5.6 Creating Ad hoc user accounts

You need to create an Ad hoc user account for any individual or group who can update Ad hoc content on a Subscriber

iCOMPEL in a Channel . If the user is responsible for Ad hoc from Center content , you must create a user

account for them on the Publisher iCOMPEL.

To create a user account for an Ad hoc user, follow these steps:

1. From the menu bar, select Setup, then System Setup, then Users.

2. Select the Add User tab

3. Enter a username, the user's real name, and a password and click Add User.

4. On the Users page, check that the new user has permission for Ad hoc access.

5. Click Edit, and select the correct permissions for the user:

If the user needs to have FTP access, select the appropriate check box.

If the user requires access to an Ad hoc Media Folder, select the folder name from the drop down list.

6. When you finish making your changes, click Update.

5.7 Creating Ad hoc pages

Ad hoc pages are special web interface pages that are seen by Ad hoc users when they log on. Ad hoc users do not have

access to any other pages in the iCOMPEL user interface, only to the Ad hoc pages that you create for them. These pages

display the text fields that they are allowed to change, or the commands they are allowed to issue.

Some Ad hoc users do have access to an Ad hoc media folder.

Layout Ad hoc Pages are enabled for all newly created Layouts by default. This means that when Customizable or Ad

hoc items are added to such a Layout then an Ad hoc page for that Layout will be generated containing all the

Customizable and Ad hoc items in that Layout.

Ad hoc pages not directly associated with an individual Layout can be created by setting the User Interface policy to

Detailed or Expert and navigating the menu bar via Media, then Design Ad hoc pages and Manage Ad hoc pages.
