Adaptive Client Manager: First Use

Signing In

If installation has been successful, you should now be able to log in to ACM using the default login details, which are as follows:

Username: admin

Password: password

The first area you should visit is the 'Settings' area, which you can access through the link at the top of the ACM screen.

Entering Your Details & Personalisation

Once logged in, you will be able to edit the default company information with your own company details.

Fill out the details on this simple screen, replacing the default logo with your own by simply dragging and dropping a new .png image file. Press the 'Save Config' button when you have finished to save your details to the databse.

Note: Logo files must be in .png format and will be scaled to 214 x 36px by ACM. This same logo file is used on PDF invoices and quotes that you create. To ensure that the image file looks good on printed documents, we advise that a larger size image is used that is a multiple of 214 x 36px. For example, the ACM logo is actually 856 x 144px (still only 15kb) and it is scaled down appropriately for display. In the files that you have downloaded, we have included a Photoshop (.psd) file that you can use to assist you with this here:

assets/logo_template.psd

Simply open it up, hide our example layer, create or import your own logo onto a new layer and save it at that full size.

You can also visit the 'Themes' section of the Settings area to customise the color of ACM. There are several pre-defined colors, but for even more customisation, your can select 'Custom Colour' from the available colour picker. Save the theme when completed and it will stay that way until you change it in future.

Delete The Default Admin

As part of the installation process , and so that you can log in the first time, a default user is created (Admin/Password). This is the same for all installations of ACM and for obvious reason it is a security risk if left active.

You must delete this user. To do so, visit the 'Users' section of the Settings area and you will see this user in the Users table. For security reasons, you can't delete a user account if we are currently signed into that account (i.e. you can't delete yourself).

You must first create a new user account for yourself using the 'Add User' button and completing/submitting the form. You can now sign out of the default account and sign back in with the new username and password that you have just set up. You can now go back and delete that default account.
