Logging In and Out

Top  Previous  Next

 

Once the program starts, you will be asked to Log In with an Operator Login and Password.  This is necessary to access any of the program's functions.  The software initially has one operator with administrative access (able to do everything), so you can log in with the operator name "Administrator" and the password "Password".  (Type them without the quotes.)  The first time you use this login, it will require you to change the password -- don't forget what you change it to!

 

To log in, just follow these steps:

 

1. Click the Log In button on the toolbar (the key icon) or click on Log In/Out on the main menu.

2. Type your operator login name.  Don't worry about whether to use capital letters or not, it doesn't matter.

3. Press the Enter key (or Tab key) to move to the Password field.

4. Type your password.  Again, don't worry about capitals. Note that you won't be able to see the letters you type -- they will all be shown as asterisks (*).  This is for security.  If you make a mistake, it's best to back up to the beginning with the Backspace key and start over.

5. Press the Enter key (or click on the Log In button with the mouse).

 

You should now be logged in.  If you get an error message, you can go back and try again.

 

Once you're logged in, you should see more of the toolbar icons enabled (in color), and you can click on the tabs (Arrivals, Departures, etc.) to change views.

 

 

Logging Out

 

When you want to log out of the system (to prevent others from gaining access and changing data), just open the Log In/Out dialog as above and click the Log Out button.

 

 

Changing Your Password

 

To change your password, just open the Log In/Out dialog as above and click the Change My Password button.  You will be required to enter your current password, and then enter a new password twice for verification (since the passwords are not visible when typing).  Note that you cannot change your password to any that has been used within 4 previous changes.

 

 

Forgot Password?

 

If you attempt to log in and enter an incorrect operator or password (and nobody is currently logged in), then a "Forgot Password?" button will be available.  If you're not an Administrator, you will be prompted to contact your Administrator to  reset your password through Operator Setup.  However if you are trying to log in as an Administrator, this function will allow you to send a request to support for a temporary login, so you can get in to Operator Setup to manage the operator logins.
