Logins and login links

Please complete our request form.

Please include the following details about your new member of staff: start date, name, email address, location code and the asset number (or other identifying name e.g. Office 1) for the PC(s) and/or laptops they will be using. Please also confirm whether your new starter will need access to V-insight.

Please complete our request form.

Please include your staff member’s: full name, V-smart username and last date of employment.

Please note that if the staff member is moving to work at another SWIMS library then their username and password can move with them. They will be assigned a new V-smart login URL at their new library.

Each computer/laptop that is used to access V-smart must have its own unique login link. The login link is per device rather than per each staff member. Everyone that uses a specific device must use the login link that has been assigned for use on that particular computer/laptop. This allows Axiell to monitor and maintain our access. The correct login link must also be used to ensure that the appropriate system settings are applied for each location.

Login links were originally created by using the asset number of a computer/laptop in order to make the login link unique (and also allow identification of which device is using which link). Therefore when computers/laptops are upgraded the login links should be updated.

When your computers/laptops are updated, if the asset numbers have changed, then please contact us to request new login links. Similarly if you acquire new devices that will be used to access V-smart please request extra login links.

Please supply either the new asset number(s) or a name for the device(s) (e.g. Office 1). Please also confirm the name of the staff member(s) who will be using the device.  The benefit of using a name for each device rather than an asset number is that the links won’t need to be updated when the computers are upgraded (providing the chosen name is still relevant).

Please use our form to log your request.

V-insight is a system we use for reporting purposes.

It is accessed at: https://swimsstaff.inforlib.uk/stats/Vinsight.csp

Staff that have access to this system can login with the same username and password that they use to access the live V-smart system. However please note that for V-insight your username must be entered in capital letters.

Access is not given by default. If you do not have access to the system you can request it by completing our request form.
