This section describes how to log on to the system, ready to use the functions.

Throughout this user guide any menu options are shown as emboldened text strings e.g. 'Select the Current Case/File'. Buttons to be selected by use of the cursor keys or the mouse pointer are shown as emboldened text e.g. View. The use of function or other keys is shown as e.g. <return>, <F2> etc.

13.2.1 User Interface

Use of the system will be via forms and menus, the drawing tool and the Survey Editor. All forms, menus and the drawing tool can be operated by using the mouse or keyboard, on screen buttons and function keys.

The system operates in various 'windows'. Several windows can be running at once, therefore the Drawing Tool, Button Panel and System Forms can be displayed at once on the workstation monitor.

NOTE: The mouse pointer must be in the window which you are using before you are allowed to perform a task.

When using an optical mouse the Mouse Pad must be positioned with the 'SUN' logo in the top left corner, and the mouse does not work correctly if at an angle to the mat.

13.2.2 Logging onto the System

On turning on the workstation the prompt Console Login: is displayed. Enter your username (given to you by the System Administrator) and press <return>. You will be prompted to enter your Password: enter your password and press <return>. If you enter your username or password incorrectly (or your account is deactivated) you will be given the message Login Incorrect and you must enter your username and password again.

The main menu will be displayed automatically after logging onto the system.

13.2.3 Logging off the System

To log off you must close down the system by:

  • Exiting the Drawing Tool/Survey Editor (saving any changes first)/ Map Comparator/Image Tool,
  • Logging off the system by selecting 0 from the main menu,
  • Exiting windows by clicking the right mouse button and selecting exit in the menu box, select OK to exit windows.

13.2.4 Changing Your Password

Periodically when logging onto the system you will be requested to change your password (the length of time between password changes is defined by the System Administrator). At any time your password can be changed by selecting the 'Change Password' menu option from the main menu. The system will prompt you to enter a new password (your password is not displayed on the screen while you type), you will then be prompted to enter your new password a second time as a check. If both versions of the password are the same, the system changes your password.
