Module "Registration process in SMASHDOCs"

March 4, 2024

1General

The registration in SMASHDOCs can be done in various ways:

user can register himself on the login page of the particular SMASHDOCs system, for instance on my.smashdocs.net

user can be invited by admin or another user of the document

user can be created by the system admin in internal user management system

The registration workflow in all the cases is similar, but with slight differences. For exemplary purposes, we will use our free to use website my.smashdocs.net, but the process is identical on all SMASHDOCs systems.

4Registration if the user is created by the system admin

User can also be creared by the system admin on our internal user management page.

In this case, the registration process is even more simplified and looks like this:

Since the system administrator has to fill out the user`s first name, last name and email during the user creation process, you just have to set your password.
