After FitnessTrac has been installed, the FitnessTrac server application will launch automatically. When the FitnessTrac server is running properly, there are two windows; one says 'Tracking Software by Redrock Software Corporation' and another displays 'Web Server Monitor'.
Because FitnessTrac is a web server application, it may be accessed by typing the FitnessTrac server's IP Address into the URL area of a web browser application. Open up a web browser application (Internet Explorer or Netscape), type the Server's IP Address in the URL area, and view the Login Entry screen to the FitnessTrac program.
At this point a user name and password must be entered to continue. The user name and password is linked to an account. Privileges are set for each user in their account record. As users login to FitnessTrac, they are restricted to the privileges set forth in their account. There are five account types that may log into FitnessTrac: Administrator, Student Worker, Instructor, Fitness, and Student.
By default, FitnessTrac has two accounts: an Administrator account (user name and password 'admin'); and a Student Worker account (user name and password 'login'). It is recommended that the user name and the password be changed for each account as soon as possible. The default user name and password represents a security risk that may allow unknown users of the program to log into the FitnessTrac system.
Personalize FitnessTrac by creating appropriate Administrator accounts and setting Preferences as soon as possible.
To create Administrator accounts, the user must begin by logging in as an Administrator. From the Main Menu, click 'Search For: Administrators'. From the list of Administrators that appears, search for an existing record (be sure not to create duplicate accounts). Then, click 'New Record' at the top of the Listing Screen to create a new Administrator Record. See the FitnessTrac User Guide for information about setting privileges associated with Administrator accounts.
While logged in as an Administrator, click 'Preferences' on the top of the page. The FitnessTrac Preferences setup and personalize the program to work with a campus'/center's needs. For information on setting the Preferences, please refer to the FitnessTrac User Guide. For the initial setup, it is recommended that a preferences training session be scheduled.
