Logging into Design Manager

When you first start Design Manager, the Login Window will appear prompting you to enter your Password.

 

Password Log In

 

If Design Manager has been installed for the first time, enter the Password DM.  Unique Passwords should be assigned for each person that uses Design Manager.  The DM Password may be changed on the Passwords Tab of the Company Information after initially entering the software.  For more information on Passwords, see Passwords and the Company Information Window - Passwords Tab.

 

If you have converted from Design Manager Professional 6.0, all user Passwords will convert over.  However, besides the Administrator Password, all other Passwords will be Disabled.  Disabled is a new setting available for Passwords in Professional 7.0 that prevents a Password from being used to log into Design Manager without having to delete the Password.  The converted Passwords will be Disabled in order for the Administrator to review new Password Attributes available in Professional 7.0 prior to granting other users access to the new software.

 

When converting from SE6/DM2011 the only password that will convert is the Administrator password, all other passwords must be re-entered and have the rights set accordingly.

 

 

Note: The Password feature uses your computer’s system date and time.  Make sure that the date and time are synchronized on all of the workstations in the company.

 

Upon logging in for the first time you will be prompted to run a Live Update.
