Log-in as ADMIN (Administrator) employee
| · | Press [F9] to log-in.
|
| · | Enter 'ADMIN' in the Employee ID field.
|
| · | Enter the password and click OK. (By default the ADMIN password is the same as the ID, 'ADMIN')
|
| · | You will then be logged in as the ADMIN (Administrator) employee. The ADMIN employee has access to all functions of Power Clock.
|
| · | NOTE: "Logging in" is different than "Clocking In". You "Log In" when you want access to secured options such as editing time records and adding new employees.
|
Change the ADMIN password
| · | Select the File menu.
|
| · | Select 'Change Your Password' from the File menu.
|
| · | Enter the current password. It should be "ADMIN".
|
| · | Enter the new password. Make the ADMIN password difficult to guess and always keep it secret.
|
Add yourself as an employee
| · | Select the 'View / Edit' menu.
|
| · | Select 'Employees'. You can also use the shortcut [Ctrl+E].
|
| · | Press [Insert] to add a new employee.
|
| · | Enter your initials or some other unique identifier for the 'ID' field. This will be your Employee ID.
|
| · | Enter a login password in the 'Password' field.
|
| · | Select ADMIN in the 'Security Profile' field to give yourself full Administrator access.
|
| · | To automatically log yourself in when the program starts, check the box "Automatically login this employee at startup". This is not a good idea if other employees will be using Power Clock on your computer. This is a local setting. You enable or disable automatic login on each network computer individually.
|
Customize security profiles
| · | Select the 'View / Edit' menu.
|
| · | Select 'Security Profiles'. You can also use the shortcut [Ctrl+I]
|
| · | You will need to look at all the security profiles and make sure the various options are enabled or disabled according to what you want to give your users access to. All employees are given the "Default" profile to start but you can change them to "Manager" or "Admin". You can also add an unlimited number of new security profiles.
|
| · | Check the profile called "LoggedOut". These are the options that will be available when no one is logged in.
