A user name is normally associated with a unique individual, but could be a second (or third) name for the same individual. A user name can also be any other phrase that is meaningful to you, such 'Art Collection' if you wanted to collect information about your art in one place within the database.

 

You can create as many user names as you require, but they must of course be unique.

 

Adding a user is a simple procedure. Simply type the desired user name and password into the data fields provided and close the screen.

 

A user name may not contain more than 36 characters and the password may not contain more than 12 characters. A password may be left blank if desired.

 

The user name is used on all screens and reports to identify the current user. Note that any data you enter in the system under a user name is only associated with that user and is not available to other users.

 

If you use a password, be sure to remember what it is, because if it is lost and you do not remember it, you will no longer be able to access any data that you have entered. There is no password recovery mechanism available to you.

 

When you close this screen after entering a new user name, a default tabset named 'Main' and a set of default tabs associated with that tabset will be established for you. You can then change the default names to ones that suit you and add (or delete) as many others as you require.

 

The tabs will not contain any data.
