Logging On

CAPITAL features a completely flexible and adjustable security system that will allow you to control access rights to CAPITAL's functions, facility by facility, for up to 50 user profiles.

If CAPITAL's security system is activated, it is necessary to log-on with an appropriate password. If the security assigned to that password is not high enough, then certain facilities may not be available. CAPITAL invokes security procedures by refusing access to a function, in which case the message:

Security Access Denied

will appear when an attempt is made to use a denied feature. Or by not displaying the option or information at all.

To log on, move to the Files menu and select Log On, then type in your password. The default password is master. You will notice when entering your password your key strokes are registered but are not echoed back. This is to allow you to enter your password while other users are present. Any combination of letters and numbers may be used as part of the password and CAPITAL makes no distinction between upper and lower case.

If the password is invalid or has been incorrectly entered, the Security Access Denied message will be displayed and you will have to log-on again.

Changing Your Password

Once a password has been accepted you will be given the option to replace it. Do this by typing in a new password or click OK to continue. Your original password will then remain the same. If you decide to change your password, you will be asked to retype it to ensure you have entered it correctly the first time. If the new first and second passwords match, the new password will be accepted.

Once you have logged into CAPITAL your name will normally appear at the bottom of the screen. Do not leave your system unattended while your name is on display. Logging out is possible either by exiting the CAPITAL program or by logging on again and clicking OK instead of reentering your password. Your name will then disappear.

IMPORTANT: If the default security level is set to level 9 users do not have to log-on. Security is turned off.

INSTALLATION Workshop

Users are always required to log onto INSTALLATION Workshop. To gain full access to all functions users must have an access level of 9. If users log on with a lower access level, only a limited menu of options will be available.
