===== Account Migration Overview =====

Currently .decimal staff are required to migrate your existing Legacy accounts to the new .decimal account. Once your existing accounts have been migrated your Site Manager will be able to [[direct:userguide#managing_site_preferences|manage your site]] and [[direct:userguide#managing_users_on_your_site|manage your users]].

==== Migration Process ====
At a high level, the migration process for existing sites and users looks as follows:

=== Account Migration ===

  - .decimal staff with send the new system and security requirements documents to you and your clinic (e.g.: p.d 5.4's [[pdotd:rn-29|RN-29]] and [[pdotd:rn-30|RN-30]])
    * Your clinic's IT department should ensure the new network requirements are satisfied
  - .decimal staff will prepopulate for your account:
    * Your [[direct:userguide#changing_site_information|Site Information]]
    * Add the licensed .decimal applications to your site
  - .decimal staff will conduct a quick site survey to determine who, if anyone, at your site should be given [[direct:userguide#managing_site_preferences|Site Management]] permissions
  - .decimal staff will migrate any desired existing Legacy accounts that should be converted to the new account
    * Existing Legacy accounts will have their login username changed to their email address associated with the Legacy account. **Note: Users will be unable to use the Legacy login once this step has been performed.**
    * During the migration step each user will receive an email notification to the email address associated with their existing Legacy account
    * The email notification will contain a link for the existing Legacy user to set their password to complete the migration

=== New Software Installation ===

  - Legacy users will be instructed to manually uninstall existing p.d versions from their local work stations
  - Each user at each work station will be required to login to [[https://direct.dotdecimal.com|decimal Direct]] and [[decimalauncher:decimallauncher#installation|download and install decimal Launcher]]
    * This step should only take a few minutes once the user has already setup their new password from the previous step
  - Users can then open the decimal Launcher application, select their site (if your organization has more than one), and launch the appropriate .decimal application
