When adding a user to Aptify, the administrator should create a User Entity Relations record to link the user to his/her Employees record. This is step 7 of the Aptify User Administration Wizard wizard. See the the "Creating Users" section in the User and Group Administration topic chapter of the Aptify 5.5.1 Administration Guide for details.
