How do I allow students to assign their user name and password?

FitnessTrac can allow students to assign their own User Name and Password. As they login to FitnessTrac for the first time, they can be prompted to enter this information.

Allow Students to Create/Assign Login Account

Page three of the Preferences controls access to the FitnessTrac program. 'Allow New Students to Create Login Account' allows a student to create a user name and password as they access the Login screen. 'Allow Exist Students to Assign Login Account' allows any student, with a student record in the database, to assign a name and password from the Login screen.

For security purposes, it is more common to allow existing students to assign a name and password, but not allow a new student to do the same.

Creating Student Records through Student Worker Accounts

When students visit the center for the first time, they may create their student record if they do not already have one. After they enter an ID to login, if they are unrecognized, they may choose to create a new account. This option is found on page six of the Preferences. Check 'Allow Creation when ID Not Found' to enable this feature.

Although the student may create an account at this time, they are not able to assign a user name and password. This is for security purposes. A campus may not want all students to access FitnessTrac.

Creating a User Name & Password

If existing students are allowed to assign a user name and password, they will enter their student ID the first time that they login to FitnessTrac. They will be prompted to type their user name and password. Once students have a user name and password, they can make appointments and manage their schedule through the internet.

If students are not allowed to assign their user name and password, one must be assigned to them are to login to FitnessTrac via the internet.
