Login User Table
If the User Table does not appear automatically, you can manually call up
the User Table by clicking the Login… icon from the menu bar.
The User Table consists of a Login Name, Password, Security Level, and
Real Name. Use the Tab key to move through entry fields, or click inside
the entry field to edit. Enter an item in the field, then press Enter to move
to the next entry field. See the following sections for entry field descriptions.
Click New in the User Table to create a new user screen.
6.1.1 Login Name
Enter a Login Name for the first user (8 characters maximum), then press
Enter.
Note: Entries in this field are not case sensitive.
6.1.2 Password
Passwords are optional, but recommended to ensure a secure environment.
Without password protection, any user can sign in as the administrator and
make unauthorized changes to the database. Enter the password (8 characters
maximum), then press Enter.
Remember your password! The system asks you
to verify this password later. Note: Entries in this field are not case sensitive.
When entering a password, only an asterisk (

character.
