Hi, I am just setting up a the Docker instance and have set up Employees and started to try and set up users but whenever I save, nothing shows up on the users list. I am logged in as administrator, there are no errors or indications that the user wasn’t saved, and if I try to generate the import template I can see the user I created in the excel doc.

Am I doing something wrong to view them?

Additionally, for our use case, a majority of employees will also be users. Are these items linked? Do I just need users and don’t worry about setting up ’employees’?

Please ensure that Elastic Search is properly connected and the configuration files are located in:
api/configs/mint/config_override.php
legacy/config.php
Then, log into the administration panel and initiate a reindexing of the records.

Since it’s the docker install, what changes should I be making? When I go to Administration > Elasticsearch and test the connection then it says:
```
Connection successful.

Ping: 1.651 ms
Elasticsearch v7.9.3
```
When I try and run an index in the administration panel there is no information if it’s successful or not. The panel also says says there are no schedulers set up so I followed the install instructions (step 8 of https://minthcm.org/support/minthcm-installation-guide/) to set one up on the web server, but everything is default (this is just a local instance for POC) and the cron job is already there, so nothing to do but still does not have a scheduler available it seems.

What else do I need to do to set up a scheduler or confirm that an index is run?

It seems that your Elasticsearch connection is working well. However, even if you add a cron job to crontab, the crontab service might not work due to Linux issues. If you do not see users in the list, you can try two things:

1. Update the date_indexed field in the users table to NULL. The scheduler/cron should reindex the records. If the records are in Elasticsearch, they should be displayed in the list.
2. Edit the api/constants/legacy_views.php file and set list to true for the Users module. After refreshing the page, this change will make the system display the user list without using Elasticsearch.
