 Introducing PTWin32 |
Most of the user tips
that appear in the pages of PTWinformation are about what to do while using PTWin32. This tip is
about what to do when you are not
using PTWin32. When you execute
PTWin32 you are presented with a Splash Screen. This is the graphic box that appears in the middle of
the PTWin32 desktop. At this point most of the buttons in the Main
Toolbar are grayed out and unavailable. This is because you are not logged
in to PTWin32. As soon as you press
the Log On button the Splash
Screen disappears. Then you log on and use the system. As long as you are
logged in anyone using your computer will have the rights to do whatever
functions you are permitted, including the alteration or deletion of records. If you are going to
step away from your desk for any significant period of time you should log off
of the PTWin32 system. You can do this by selecting Log
Off from the File pulldown menu, or by pressing the Log Off button on the Main
Toolbar. You will be asked to
confirm the log off then you will be logged off and the Splash
Screen will re-appear. If you can see the Splash
Screen then you are not logged into the PTWin32 system. Leaving yourself
logged in when you are not at your desk invites mischief. And leaving a PTWin32
window open can lock the displayed record so that no other users can make
modifications.
