User ID

The User ID is the identification you use to sign into the SCM and/or your Learning Management System (LMS). The SCM uses this identification to store your course results and synchronize your course results with the LMS.

Creating a New User

If you attempt to sign in using a User ID that has not been used in the SCM, you are prompted to create the new user.

1. Enter the new user name in the log in field.

   The following prompt appears: User name does not yet exist on this system. Create new user?

2. Select Yes to create the User ID and sign in as that user, or
3. Select No, and the User ID is not created and you will not be signed in.

Blank User ID

If you do not enter a user ID, you will be logged in as the default user. This can only occur if:

• You launch the SCM from the desktop icon.
• Your SCM does not have a connection to Skillport.
• You have certain parameters set in the OCM.ini file.
• You do not enter a user ID when prompted.

Note: If you are using Skillport or an LMS, you must always use the same User ID you use in the LMS when you sign in to the SCM. If you enter a different user ID or no user ID, your results are saved on your workstation under that ID, but you will not be able to synchronize your results with your user ID in the LMS.

Switching User IDs

After you sign into the SCM, you can select the Student Button and sign in as a different user ID without having to exit and restart the SCM.

SCM Support for More Than One User

The SCM is capable of storing course results for multiple users on the same workstation. The results on the Progress tab are shown for the currently signed in user. However, the content on the Play tab is shared by all users on the workstation and should not be removed unless all users are finished with the content.

SCM Sign In Validation

Depending on your SCM configuration you may be prevented from signing on with a User ID other than your LMS User ID. This feature may be enabled by your learning administrator to assist you in storing your results so they can be synchronized with the LMS or Skillport.
