Profile Properties that Affect Behavior When Logging On and Off

In the Advanced tab

  • Enable automatic logoff - If enabled a user may be automatically logged off after the selected period of inactivity. The period must be between 1 and 3600 seconds.
  • Enable password lifetime - If enabled a user must change his password the next time they log in after the selected lifetime. Lifetime is the period (in days) since the password was last changed.

In the Mimics tab

  • Initial window - Selection of a window that opens automatically when a user logs in. The window may also be opened using the substitution #U in a Link-Open animation.
  • Menu - Selection of up to ten windows to provide user dependent window opening. When using the Link-Open animation the substitutionstrings #M11 to #M20 are used instead of a window name. The window that is opened is the matching one in the user's profile. If a label is supplied, and the Link-Open animation is supported by a text drawing element, the label will be substituted for the text at run time. ClosedShow picture


In the Programs tab

The Programs tab allows the selection of one program that will run when a user logs on and another that runs when a user logs off. Both programs are optional. Any programs selected here must be pre-loaded using another program or in the project start-up configuration.

For each program, you can select an optional function, branch and arguments. If you do not select a function, the Main function will run.
