4.4.1 Log In and Log Out

To protect the integrity of the system, the Vertex System
classifies menus as either open or protected functions.
If you require access to a protected menu, you must
log in under a user account with permission to use that
menu. The Vertex System administrator assigns access
to protected functions by setting up user accounts.
See Section 4.6.6 Security Access
Logging In
Figure 4-3. Login
To log in, choose Main Screen, Project and then Log
In. The Login window opens. Enter your user account
name and password followed by Enter.
After you log in, the system checks your access
privileges. As you use Vertex menus, only the buttons
to which you have access will be active. The buttons
associated with functions to which you are denied
access are dimmed.
A user can choose Logout to select the default user
account.
Logging Out
To log out, choose Main screen, Project and then
Logout. A Log Out confirmation window appears.
Simply click OK to close the window.

The Vertex System will automatically log out any user
after a period of inactivity. The default timeout period
is 8 hours. Authorized users may change the timeout
setting in the Configuration Menu.
Thirty seconds prior to the end of the timeout period,
Vertex will warn before logging out a user.
