4h4me - data updates

4h4me.com Staff User Accounts
updated September, 2009

Many of the steps on this page can be completed
by either County or Regional staff.
Please make sure that any work done, is in agreement with any
decisions made locally regarding staff roles

NOTE:

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you use Internet Explorer (IE) - not Firefox - as your browser when completing these operations.

4HPlus! simply uses whatever browser is defined as "Default" on your computer - therefore, if Firefox is your default browser you will need to temporarily make IE your default browser.

To do this, start up IE, click on Tools>Internet Options, then click on the "Programs" tab and click on the "Make Default" button. You can also set both IE and Firefox to check what your default browser is and give you an easy option to change that on browser startup.

Creating and Maintaining Staff User Accounts

In order for 4-H staff to have access to the 4h4me.com web data, an account must be created. These accounts can be created/edited/deleted by using a copy of 4HPlus!.

For County Staff (staff who access data from one county)

Start up 4HPlus! for the desired county
Click on [Goto] [Archive] [Web Data] [County Options Direct Access]

This will start up your web browser, taking you to an internal page of the 4h4me.com website.

Click on [4H County Staff]
Click on a previously entered Staff Member to see their username/password

If new staff members need to be added, click on [Enter New County Staff Member]

Enter UserID (please note that the user ID MUST begin with the 3 letter county code, and then consists of 8 additional characters).
Enter name and password info (assign a beginning password of your choice)
Click on [Save / Update County Staff Member Data]
Click on [Goodbye] to end the session when you are done
Be sure to enter/update the staff e-mail address - that way, if they forget their 4h4me password, they can go on to 4h4me.com and request their password be e-mailed to them.

For Regional Office Staff (staff who access data from one county)

Regional Staff can have a login account for each county seperately using the above process, or a special multi-county login account can be created. Because those multi-county accounts require a unique dataset it is suggested that assistance in creating these accounts be requested from 4-H Software Support.
