Logging in for the first time
This guide walks you through your first sign-in to Dime.Scheduler and the one-time setup that follows.
Before you start​
How you get in depends on the login type your administrator chose for your account, so check with them if you are not sure:
- Microsoft Entra ID: you use the Microsoft account you already have at work. Nothing arrives by email beforehand.
- Forms: you receive a welcome email from Dime.Scheduler with a confirmation link. Click it, and the Confirm your email page opens with your Email already filled in. Choose a Password, repeat it under Confirm Password and click Confirm. A success screen offers a Click here to sign in. button that takes you to the login page.
The confirmation link does not last forever. If it has expired, you land on the login page with an error and the forgot-password panel already open; request a reset link there and it does the same job.
Login​
Open your browser and go to the Dime.Scheduler web application. Ask your application manager for the correct URI. The login page greets you with Welcome back to Dime.Scheduler and offers both routes:
- Sign in with Microsoft: click the button at the top. You are redirected to Microsoft to enter your credentials, which may happen in another language. The first time, Microsoft asks whether Dime.Scheduler may read your profile, so click Accept.
- Email and Password: fill in both and click Log on.
An invisible reCAPTCHA check runs when you click Log on. You do not need to solve anything, but if the check fails the attempt is refused in the same way as a wrong password, so simply try again.
If your email address belongs to more than one organization, the page switches to Select organization and lists them as cards. Click the organization you want to work in. You can go back with Back to sign in if you picked the wrong form.
Below the form, a line reminds you that logging in means agreeing to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, both linked from there. There is nothing to tick.
Lost your password? Click Forgot password? under the login button. The form slides away and a small panel asks for your email; click Send password reset link and follow the reset guide.
Choose language and time zone​
The first time you sign in, and if the user administrator has not already set them, you land on a page headed Set up your account instead of the planning boardPlanning boardThe main graphical scheduling surface where dispatchers drag tasks onto resources across a timeline.. It has two dropdowns, Language and Time zone, and a Save button. Pick both and save; you are then taken into the application.
Time zone is the one to get right. It decides how every appointmentAppointmentA task scheduled to a resource for a specific period - the scheduled instance you see on the planning board. time is shown to you, so a wrong choice shifts every time on your screen by a fixed offset.
You can change both later from the Preferences page, reached from the menu under your name in the top bar. That page also holds your Exchange sync preferences when your administrator has left those to each resourceResourceAn entity that can carry out work - a person, vehicle, tool, or room - that you schedule on the planning board..
