Account Settings
Once you have selected the appropriate plan for your business and have entered your payment information, you will want to set up the basic account settings needed to run your practice training and education via the LMS.
In the top right corner of the Pyxis home screen, click Account -> Company Settings

Create Locations
For hospitals and clinics with multiple locations, you’ll want to add each location before adding any users or content.
To begin, click Locations in the top navigation bar and then New Location. Add the name and address and then click Create Location. Repeat this for all locations.
Create Tracks
Tracks allow you to pair lessons and individual learning materials to create a group of greater information intended for specific user roles and job titles. Learning tracks are assigned to users based on their roles and their completion of each track can be monitored through progress tracking. For example, a “New Hire” track may be assigned to any new employee which reviews company policies and procedures. There may also be a “First Year DVM” track, which includes training and lessons specific to veterinarians right out of vet school.
To create a new track, click Tracks on the main navigation bar and then New Track. Add the title of your new track, and then click Add Content to select modules, readings, and videos.
Create Roles
Next, you’ll create roles that coincide with your organization’s. In the example below, there are roles created for DVMs, Front Desk Staff, and Office Staff, Administrator, and Vet Technician. When creating roles, keep in mind that you will be able to assign modules, tracks, and specific content by role.
To create a new role, select New Role under Roles in the main navigation. Here you will be able to title your new role and attach tracks to the role so that users assigned this role will automatically be assigned the correct tracks.
Create Users
Users are created for each organization employee who needs access to the Pyxis platform. Users' permissions are assigned based on access needed. User permissions are Basic User, Lead, Manager, and Admin.
Basic User: Users can progress through assigned trainings at their own pace but are unable to reset, edit, or reschedule trainings and/or modules.
Lead: A lead could be the point person for training. They can reset trainings for a user and can also mark items complete in the Checklist section of a Basic Users account. (Plus all Basic User capabilities)
Manager: A manager can create new content and assign content to Basic Users. (Plus all Basic User & Lead capabilities)
Administrator: An administrator can create new accounts, assign and reassign accounts as needed, reset passwords, and manage the company's Pyxis subscription. (Plus all Basic User, Lead, Manager, & Administrator capabilities)
To create a new user, navigate to Users and select New User. Add email address, password, name, select permissions, select location, and then Create User.
