### Client User's and Contacts

|

Customers in AyaNova 8 now have unlimited Contacts as a seperate collection of User type objects so you optionally allow them to login to use the Customer interface and subscribe to Customer specific notifications etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Importing from AyaNova 7 will result in a Customer Contact type User being created for each v7 Customer or HeadOffice type User account and in addition a Contact will be created in v8 if the v7 Client has a name set in the "Contact" text field with the Client phone and email numbers being re-used for the contact created this way. The Contact notes text field in v7 that is intended for listing extra contacts will be imported to the v8 general Customer Notes field as there is no way to safely import that freehand text field as additional Contact type users in v8.
|
||||
|
||||
As with all User / Contact accounts created in v8 no login is possible by those users until the administrator allows it and assigns a password so there is no security risk of Contact users logging in that previously could not.

* Multi-user only: If exporting from a networked multi-user AyaNova 7.6 installation, now is the time to ensure all users are out and networked Generator service is stopped. **Do not proceed until this is verfied**.

* Login to AyaNova 7.xx as *the* Administrator / manager account
|

* Select the "Export to V8" plugin in AyaNova 7 from the main window plugin menu and the login and server URL dialog will open (note: this plugin is installed by default in the latest releases of AyaNova. If you don't see it, you may need to upgrade to the latest release first.)
|

* Enter the URL of your AyaNova 8 server. There is a "Test URL" button to optionally confirm if you have entered the correct address or not.
|
||||
* Enter your AyaNova 8 SuperUser account login credentials. No other account is permitted to perform this operation. The default SuperUser account login name is "superuser" and password is "l3tm3in" if it has not been changed. (you *really* should change it as soon as possible)
