Installing the Plugin #

• (‘ol’, ‘Log in to your WordPress admin panel.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Go to Plugins > Add New.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Click Upload Plugin.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Select the dmsi-team-management.zip file you received.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Click Install Now.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘After installation completes, click Activate Plugin.’)

What Happens on Activation #

When the plugin activates, it automatically:

• (‘ol’, ‘Creates 8 database tables for team data (roles, members, invitations, activity logs, etc.)’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Modifies 5 existing DDLS tables to add seat tracking and workload assignment columns’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Seeds 4 built-in staff roles (Admin, Manager, Support, View-Only) with their default permissions’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Seeds 13 permission types that form the permission matrix’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Seeds the “team” license type into the DDLS license type system’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Schedules 3 background jobs for invitation cleanup, log retention, and usage aggregation’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Registers WordPress capabilities for the 13 DMSI permission types’)

Important: Activation modifies the database. Always back up your database before activating on a production site.

Entering Your License Key #

After activation:

• (‘ol’, ‘Go to DMSI DDLS > Licenses in the admin menu.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Scroll to the Team Management section.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Enter your Team Management license key.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Click Save to validate.’)

A valid license is required to receive plugin updates.

Verifying Activation #

After activation, verify the plugin is working:

• (‘ol’, ‘Go to the DMSI DDLS admin menu. You should see a new Team section with four pages: Team Members, Roles, Workload, and Activity Log.’)

• (‘ol’, ‘Go to WooCommerce > Products and edit any product. You should see a new Team License tab in the product data panel.’)

If neither appears, contact your site administrator or check the WordPress debug log for details.
