Created by Muhamad Al-zughir, Modified on Mon, 3 Nov at 11:49 AM by Muhamad Al-zughir

SUMMARY


Create two new users in VA User Profile under Viewpoint Administration > Programs:

- User: Payroll Scribe | Email: payrollscribe@silvertreksystems.com

- User: Payroll Keeper | Email: payrollkeeper@silvertreksystems.com

Enable the “Display Earnings Rates in PR Timecard Entry” option for both users.

Next, navigate to the Tools menu at the top of the user page and select Viewpoint One User Migration.

Once logged in, select both payroll accounts and click Migrate Users.

After migration, assign the required permissions for each user within Vista.



For new Silvertrek Payroll clients, three separate accounts are typically required to ensure optimal payroll processing. This includes one AVD account created through the Cascade Portal and two accounts created in Vista, which are then migrated to Trimble.

  • Vista with Trimble:
    • Payroll Processing Account (Payroll Scribe)
    • Tax Filing and Reconciliation Account (Payroll Keeper)
  • AVD:
    • Account for SQL/Report Development and Installation

Instructions for creating the AVD account can be found here.


To create the two payroll processing Trimble accounts:

  1. In Vista, open VA User Profileand create two new users with the following details:
  2. If prompted to set passwords, proceed as instructed; however, these credentials do not need to be shared with Silvertrek.
  3. In the Permissions section of each user profile, check the box labeled “Display Earnings Rates in PR Timecard Entry.” This setting is required for payroll processing.
  4. After creating both accounts, open the Tools tab and select “Viewpoint One User Migration” at the bottom of the dropdown.
    • If you are unsure which Trimble ID has administrative access for your company, contact Viewpoint Support to obtain the proper credentials.
  5. Select both new payroll accounts and click “Migrate Users.”
  6. Assign the appropriate Vista permissions for both users:
    • Below is a comprehensive list of programs and reports required for the Keeper and Scribe accounts. The Scribe account should have identical access to the Keeper account, except for the following: CM Accounts, JC Liability Template, and JC Departments.
