Guide to Setup Community’s Account
(for Admin only)
   User Guide Main Page
Appointment of Master Admin
 
If you sign up your community with i-Neighbour, you will automatically be the Master Admin of the system thus allowing you to edit your information. In i-Neighbour, only one Master Admin is allowed to be appointed at a time. However, if you wish to transfer the status of Master Admin, you may do so after adding in admins into the system.
 
System Setup
There are a few modules that you need to set to get the account running.
1  Setup of Community Profile
  Complete your Community Profile by filling in all the information. Information included in here will be displayed at the i-Neighbour listing page, where it’s available for public view.
 
 
2  Assignment of Admins/System Role and Emergency Contact
  Add Admins and assign them to a suitable System Role to help you manage your community’s account. Create new system roles, if necessary. A system role is a customisable set of access rights to all system settings, which can be used to restrict the assigned Admin’s access. Enable the option for “Add as Emergency Contact” if you want the Admin to be alerted whenever the residents trigger the Panic Button via i-Neighbour Mobile App during an emergency. After an Admin has been added, an account activation email will then be sent for verification.

7  Setup of Guard House Account and Security Guard
   
i-Neighbour provides convenience by allowing residents to report incident or defect that occurs within the community via i-Neighbour Mobile App. Set the list of incidents or defects that could possibly happen in the community and the priority for each incident or defect, so the respective admin in-charge will be notified immediately if a particular report has been lodged by residents.
   
   
Create guard house account in order for the security guards to monitor the access of visitors. A tablet is recommended for the security guard’s usage as i-Neighbour Mobile App has an in-app intercom feature that allows communication between residents and the security guards. This is especially handy for walk-in registration.
   
   
Enter security guards’ basic information into i-Neighbour system in order for residents to view which security guards are stationed within the community, for security purposes.
   
8  Setup of Incident Report
   
   
With Incident Report module, you can monitor incidents reported by the residents. Go to Settings and assign admin to be the notification recipient for each priority level.
 
For further information on this feature, please click here to refer to the Incident Report Guide.
