If your credentials are not valid, you will receive an error message. You should correct the information and try to login again. You will be given a limited number of attempts to login successfully. After that, the session will terminate and you will be locked out for a period of time established by the system administrator.

!Your Session
Upon successful login, the Main Application Window appears and an application session is started. Think of the session as a conversation between you and the system. This session continues until you logout or you close the Main Application Window.

If you leave the application unattended for a long period of time, it will [time out|TIME OUT] and you will have to login again. The time-out period is set by your system administrator.

!Logout
Once you have completed your work, for security reasons, you should always logout of the application. Logout is done by hitting the 'LOG OUT' Icon in the top right corner of the form.
