Setting up a new WSC-Index project¶

For a typical WSC-Index project, you will need the following:

-  The city or region, including its location (latitude and longitude)
-  The email address of the consultants who will be using the tool
-  The email address of the client who will be accessing the tool

Create the city or region¶

To create a new city or region, make sure you are logged in as an administrator.

Follow the steps in the Cities section to create a new city or region. Make sure you include the latitude and longitude, scale (typically Metropolitan or City Council), and city code. The city code is used to identify the city in the WSC-Index tool and should be unique.

Add the city as a WSC-Index city¶

To add the city to the WSC-Index, add the newly created city to the WSC-Index city group. (See Cities for a detailed description).

Assign the consultants to the City¶

If the consultant is not yet registered in the WSCU, you will need to create a new user account for them. (See Users for a detailed description).

Once the consultant is registered, add the consultant to the Index-Consultants group. (See Users for a detailed description). This will give the consultant access to the WSC-Index tool.

To assign the consultant to the city select the “Projects” tab and scroll to the “Project User List” and click on the “Add” button in the top right corner. In the popup, select

Select Benchmarks project
Select the consultant as the “User”
Select the admin as “Role”
Select the WSC-Index as “Tool”
Select the new city as “City”
Leave the “City Group” field empty
Leave the “User Group” field empty
Submit the form

Assign the client to the City¶

If the client is not yet registered in the WSCU, you will need to create a new user account for them. (See Users for a detailed description).

Once the client is registered, add the client to the Index-Users group. (See Users for a detailed description).This will give the client access to the WSC-Index tool.

To assign the client to the city select the “Projects” tab and scroll to the “Project User List” and click on the “Add” button in the top right corner. In the popup, select

Select Benchmarks project
Select the client as the “User”
Select the admin as “Role”
Select the WSC-Index as “Tool”
Select the new city as “City”
Leave the “City Group” field empty
Leave the “User Group” field empty
Submit the form
