What's New In HR Management for Spectrum 2026 R6
The 2026 R6 release of HR Management for Spectrum contains unified Employee Details and various improvements. This release is available as of September 15, 2026.
Managed Users simplify application access and user management for field and mobile employees who use only Traqspera. For a demo, watch Managed Users Demo - Video.
On the User Management page, you can invite people by text or email and manage their usernames and passwords, including password resets, so they can get to work without creating a Trimble ID.
Managed Users Prerequisites
- Have a Trimble ID.
- Have access to Trimble's Admin Console with the Account Owner, Secondary Account Owner, or License Admin role. For more information, see Getting Started with Admin Console for Managed Users - Video and Admin Console Onboarding Guide.
- HR Management for Spectrum customers ONLY: have a unified system. For more information, see Unified User Management. If you DO NOT own HR Management for Spectrum, we have automatically upgraded your system to enable Managed users.
Getting Started with Managed Users
Create a Short Code
Short codes are a short identifier at the start of every Managed user username. For
example, in the username acme.jdoe, acme is the
short code.
For a video walkthrough of short codes, see Short Code for Managed Users - Video
For instructions on setting up your short code, see Configure Managed Users.
Invite and onboard without a Trimble ID.
System administrators add Managed users quickly and invite them by text or email, without requiring each person to create a Trimble ID.

User Types
Traqspera supports three log in types:
: Recommended for field and mobile employees who just use Traqspera. These users receive invites via text or email and log in with an assigned username and password. System admins are responsible for creating and managing their credentials.
: Recommended for office employees or those using multiple Trimble products. These users log in with their Trimble ID credentials and manage their own security settings.
: Existing users created prior to this release that don't have a Trimble ID. Admins can easily convert Legacy users to Managed users with a bulk conversion tool.
For more details, see User Types.
