StrataMax New User Guide

This article covers useful information & resources that can assist with the induction / training of any new users to StrataMax software.

The below information is generic information provided by StrataMax; refer to your internal policy and procedures as your business/office may have specific training and induction information.


StrataMax Access and Security

As a new user an offices internal IT support or team member will provide a work station with StrataMax installed; when first opening StrataMax a user name and password is required. It is important the team member that manages security permissions in Security Setup sets the users profile with their Email Address to generate an access email and assigns the user to the appropriate security groups; security groups can control what a user can and cannot do in StrataMax and also what a user can view on the desktop & in DocMax.

StrataMax teams do not manage your office security; refer to your internal team members if your access has not been setup appropriately. Refer to our article on Access to StrataMax.


StrataMax Online Courses

The StrataMax Training Team have developed multiple online courses, designed for new members of staff who are new to the StrataMax suite. All MaxSoft clients can enroll in any of these courses at any time, completely free of charge with the use of a coupon code. 

Courses 1 and 2 are highly recommended for new users to StrataMax; course 1 will provide an oversight of the Maxsoft Group and the various teams that are available to assist while course 2 will provide a basic understanding of the StrataMax software. For people new to the industry we recommend courses Strata 101, Strata 102, etc. These courses give you a basic understanding of what strata is, what the role of a strata manager is, how levies are calculated, etc. See our StrataMax Online Courses page for further information on the available courses.
