Login
To access the administration features:
- If logged in as a non-admin user, click the toolbar log-out button.

Quick Start
To setup a new company quickly:
- Login as admin per the email received after sign up.
- Add at least one non-admin user – typically the CEO (see Users section below) and set at least the fields shown in blue.
- There is no need, initially, to change settings on the other admin tabs.
- To add or view tasks, logout of the admin account and login under a user account.

The User tab allows you to add users to the system and set their options as follows (essential fields shown in blue):
Username
Password
Login password – click the button to view a recommended password.
UTC time
Manager
The person to which the user reports. For CEO leave blank. For middle managers usually set this field to the CEO, however if the CEO does not want to set priorities for this user, leave the Manager field blank. When this field is left blank the user will be responsible for setting P1. When this field is filled with a P1 person the user will set P2. When this field is filled with a P2 person the user will set P3.

A tool for TaskRing developers.
Administrators are recommended to assign someone (or self) to review and assist new users in proper TaskRing use. For example, first-time users often:
- finish tasks and don’t mark them done
- mark tasks done that are not done
- delete tasks that are done
- don’t use the location field
- don’t set the Owner field to the person who will do the task
- don’t set the Next field after asking a question
- etc.
