6.1.1.1 Password Activation/Expiry
The
Activation Date
is the date a user’s current password became effective and the
Password Expires On
field shows the date that the user’s password will expire. This date
is determined by the system in accordance with the value entered into the field for
Number Of Days Before User’s Password Expires
in the SYSTEM OPTIONS screen.
(See Chapter 7) However, the password expiration date may be manually set if it should
differ from the default expiration date. When a user’s password has expired, they will be
informed of this the next time they log onto the system, at which time they will be
prompted to create a new password.
You can force a user to change their password at any time by left-clicking the Reset
Password button on their employee record. Performing this action will result in the two
password fields appearing on the screen again so that an, initial, one-time use, logon
password can be assigned.
Left-clicking the Disable/Enable User button allows you to disable or enable users at any
time. Disabling a user restricts them from logging on to the system. The system may also
disable a user if they have exceeded the allowed number of unsuccessful logons. (The
#
of Logons Before Disabling
value is set
in the SYSTEM OPTIONS screen, Chapter 7) If
a user’s ID has been disabled then the button on this screen will read Enable User
.
If a
user’s ID is currently enabled, the button will read Disable User
.
6.1.1.2 Additional Info
The
Title, Phone, Fax
and
Email Address
fields are available so that you may record
additional information about the employee. There is a limit of 50 characters for each of
these fields. They are not required fields, but this information can be useful when
working in other areas of the program. In addition, you may associate an employee with a
vendor by making a selection from the
Associated Vendor
drop-down list. The vendor
names that appear on this list will be all vendors that have already been added to the
system through the “Vendors” option on the
Lists
menu. See Chapter 12 for more
information.
6.1.1.3 Administration Privileges
Finally, users of DPCTrack2 can be considered “System Administrators”. Any Employee
that is a member of the ADMIN Group will have System Administrators rights.
