Overview

The Logon screen is presented when the Security System is enabled and the program is launched. A valid User ID and Password combination must be provided in order to access the program.

This screen is also displayed when the Log Off button on the Main Menu is selected, allowing another user to log into the program on a given workstation without closing and re-opening the entire application.

The Logon screen is also used to change a user's password or full name. It is not possible for a user to change their User ID – only a security administrator can change a User ID.
