User Setup Wizard New Features:
New User ID Distribution Automation
This new automated flow is aimed at achieving internal efficiencies within Treasury Management
Operations, Treasury Management Client Support and Small Business Client Care teams whose current
manual process is to distribute the new user credentials and login instructions to the end user via
email. This new process will improve current SLA by accelerating the delivery of user credentials
while reducing risk that exists in current manual process. The successful implementation of this new
process is a vital component to the launch of Client Self Administration module projected for later
this year.
As a Cadence Bank Allegro Administrator, you can create a new Allegro user using the New User Setup
Wizard deployed in December. The wizard now gives you the ability to distribute credentials
automatically, provided the new user has both an email and mobile phone
established on their profile.
You can click on 'Send user activation email' and distribute
credentials to the new Allegro user automatically.
The new Allegro user will be presented with the following for User Verification to proceed with
obtaining the information needed to perform their first time login:
- User Email - An automated email with instructions is sent to the new user
along with a link for user verification. Upon clicking the link, the User Verification page opens.
- User Verification page - The new user can retrieve the code by clicking
the Send text message to (xxx) xxx-xxxx link.
- SMS Sent to Mobile Device - The user will then receive the authorization
code via SMS on mobile device on record.
- Screen to Enter Code - User can authenticate with the code sent on the
mobile device and click next. If an SMS is not received with an authorization code, user has option
to re-send a new authorization code to mobile device.
- Password Screen - Upon successfully verifying user identity, the user sets
their unique password and selects next to proceed to the completion screen to obtain User ID.
- User ID and Allegro Login Link - Final User Verification screen presents
the new Allegro user with their assigned User ID and link to login into Allegro.

Improved Create Users Report to Export All Records
The exports of the new bank admin Created Users Report was limited to the output of 10,000 records, which is not sufficient in some cases.

Improved the Reliability of the Session Timeout Warning
The session timeout prompt that appears after inactivity was improved to handle a scenario where the server is not responding on the session check.
