After Installing Job Import

After installing Job Import, complete the following steps:

Step 1: Set the Signature Registration Web Service Location

If you are running Job Import on a different machine than the Registration Web Service, you must customize the Web service location in Job Import settings.

1. Navigate to the installation location, for example, C:\Program Files\Signature\Signature Job Import 2016.
2. Right-click the file Signature Job Import Settings.xml and choose Edit. The file opens in Notepad or an XML editor.
   

   

3. Replace localhost with the name of the server where the Signature Registration Web Service is installed.
4. Save and close the file.

Step 2: Verify User Permissions

If you are running Job Import on Windows 2008 Server R2 (64 bit) and using the server as a workstation, make sure you verify that the user has Full Control permissions on the Job Import directory.

1. Navigate to the installation location, for example, C:\Program Files\Signature\Signature Job Import 2016.
2. Right-click the installation folder and choose Properties.
3. Select the security tab, and grant or verify that the user has the Full Control permission level on this folder.

Step 3: Assign Users to the WSIMPORT Group in SQL Server

The steps in this section must be performed ONLY after completing an installation on the server. Users of the Job Import spreadsheet will log in as SQL users. THE WSIMPORT SQL group contains the minimum permissions necessary for users to import jobs into Job Cost.

These steps must be performed by a qualified system administrator or IT personnel.

1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
2. Expand Security.
3. Right-click Logins and select New Login from the menu. The Login - New window opens.
4. Enter the name of the user.
5. Select the SQL Server Authentication radio button and enter and confirm a password.
6. In the left column, select the User Mapping page.
7. In the top section of the window, mark the check boxes for the system and company databases.
8. In the bottom section of the window, mark the DYNGROUP and WSIMPORT user role check boxes.
9. Choose OK to save your changes. Repeat the steps above for the remaining users and companies, if applicable.
