Add staff
Staff are your team members. Each one gets their own login, belongs to a business, and can be assigned to projects so they can see and work on them. This guide shows how to add a staff member and what happens next.
Adding a staff member creates a login for them. Reconstro generates a YouCode (their sign-in handle) and you set a starting password — share both with the employee so they can sign in.
How staff relate to businesses and projects
- Every staff member belongs to exactly one business.
- Only a business's staff can be assigned to that business's projects.
- You assign team members to a project from the project's Team screen (or when you create the
project).
Add a staff member
- Go to Staff and tap Add.
- Enter the full name (required, up to 100 characters).
- Set a password (required) — at least 8 characters with an uppercase letter, a lowercase
letter, and a number.
- Choose the business they belong to (required).
- Optional: add a phone number, a position (job title), and a contact email.
- Tap Save.
Reconstro creates the login and shows you the new YouCode. Give the employee their YouCode and password so they can sign in.
| Field | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Required | Up to 100 characters. |
| Password | Required | 8+ chars, with upper, lower, and a number. |
| Business | Required | The business this person belongs to. |
| Phone | Optional | Any international format. |
| Position | Optional | Their job title (up to 100 characters). |
| Contact email | Optional | A valid email address. |
Permissions
New staff start with no special permissions. To grant them, open the staff member and use the Edit screen — permissions are managed there, not when you first create the person. (Only a contractor can grant permissions.)
Reset a staff member's password
If someone forgets their password:
- Open the staff member.
- Choose Reset password.
- Reconstro shows a new temporary password once — copy it and share it with them. It can't be
shown again, so reset again if you lose it.
Turn a staff member on or off
You can deactivate a staff member who has left or is on leave (instead of deleting them), so their history on past projects is preserved. Reactivate them any time.
Tips
- Pick the business carefully — it controls which projects this person can be added to.
- Hand over the YouCode and password at creation; the password isn't recoverable later, only
resettable.
- Grant permissions from the Edit screen once the person exists.
