CHAPTER 8
Configuring Software and Security
Configuration Overview
The Configuration drop-down menu and certain configuration items in the Windows drop-down
menu appear in the Multisizer 4 Main Menu bar only when you are running the software in No
security mode. When running the software in a security mode, configuration menu items are
available to Administrator and Supervisor accounts only. For information on Main Menu behavior
in different security configurations, see
Security Modes and Configuration , page 8-1 .
Configuration Options
Depending on your security settings, configuration options will appear in the Main Menu in the
Configuration, Supervisor, or Administrator drop-down menu. Multisizer 4 configuration options
allow you to remove drop-down menu items from the Main Menu and Run Menu, change default file
locations, and set the security level on menu items.
On the Windows drop-down menu, you can use the Status Panel Settings or Toolbars items to
customize the Status Panel, the Main Toolbar, and the Instrument Toolbar (see
Customizing the
Status Panel , page 8-8 and Customizing Toolbars , page 8-7 ).
Security Modes and Configuration
If you are running one of four security modes (page 8-16 ), configuration options are available only
if the user logs in as an Administrator or Supervisor. Menu items that appear in the Configuration
drop-down menu when running the software with no security appear in the Administrator or
Supervisor drop-down menu.
When a Reviewer, Operator, or Operator using advanced features opens the software and logs in (if
necessary), no configuration options are available. The software displays a Security menu in the
Main Menu bar.
Administrators can configure the security level to require different user types to log in with a
username, username and password, or not at all. Depending on the security configuration the
Administrator selects, items in the Security drop-down menu will change.
Possible Main Menu configurations for different user types and security levels are shown below.
