This screen provides the access point to the system.

 

When it opens, a drop-list of all valid users is presented.

 

Select a user from the list, and then enter your password. If your password is correct, this screen will close, the main system screen will be presented and all data belonging to the user selected will be available.

 

You have three chances to enter a correct user name and password combination. If after three attempts, the combination is still not correct, the screen will close and you will have to start the application again.

 

First Time Use: The first time you use the system (and until another user is established), the only available user will be ‘Sample’. The 'Sample' user does not require a password so you can simply click the ‘Enter’ button or use the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard. Once you have access to the system, you can then set up your own user name(s) and password(s), and those user names will appear in the drop-list the next time you use the system.

 

Password Notes:  A password is not required (it can be left blank when setting up a new user, or changed to blank) but is highly recommended. If required, you could set up two user accounts, one without a password for information you do not mind sharing or making available to other users of your computer, and one with a password for private information.

 

The password may contain any combination of characters but may not exceed 12 characters in length.

 

Ensure you remember your password because the system cannot recover or reset a password.
