Advanced Functions or Explanations:

Student Duplicate Checking
Each option selected is enforced separately. Meaning that if two options are selected, either option (NOT both together) prompt the duplicate check message. Depending on what is highlighted the results will cause the system to consider the new record a duplicate.

Option	Comparison
No Duplicate Checking	Duplicate Checking is NOT enforced. All records coming in will be added to the system.
First Name and Email	If a combination of a student's first name and email match a record already in the system
Last Name and Zip Code	If a combination of a student's last name and zip/postal code match a record already in the system
First and Last Name	If a combination of a student's first name and last name match a record already in the system
Email Address	If the employee's home or work email address matches a record already in the system
Employee #	If the employee's number matches a record already in the system.

SMTP Server
The caption for this field on the General tab is a hyperlink with a nested page for testing and additional setup options. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the link "Click Hire to Test Your SMTP Server". Enter an internal email address to test the internal email connectivity; enter an external email address to text the external email connectivity. When testing make sure to test both internal an external emails because Cyber Train is not just an internal tool and emails will be sent out to students (external emails).

Additional authentication and changes to the defaults can also be made.

SMTP Authentication can be set up which will authenticate Cyber Train for sending out external emails. To enable this feature, enter the User ID and password which should be used when sending emails to external email addresses.
An SSL Certificate can be added to the SMTP Server to provide additional security. If this is done, check-mark the box for Enable SSL to alert Cyber Train of this additional security.
The default SMTP Port is 25 but can be changed manually if the network configuration is different.

The automated emails sent from Cyber Train include Message-ID as part of the headers information to avoid the messages being blocked by SPAM filters. Example: "From: Visibility Software / Training@visibilitysoftware.com"

Login Page Tab

This text box allows the organization to post out messages to the login page of the system for all to read. The content of this text box will completely replace the message between the logo bar at the top and the login field.

Install Code Tab

This box will store the install code for the system which is provided by Visibility Software. The code will reference the name listed on the General tab for the Company Name. Text below this box will display the license level currently set for support purposes for the organization. Should the name or the license level be inaccurate, please contact Visibility Software at 800-914-9594 immediately to be issued a new code or have the license level adjusted.
