3.1 Clearing a User ID

This section contains the following topics:

3.1.1 Invoking the Clear User Screen

When a User logs into the system, the system maintains a record of the user with the date and time of login. On a successful, normal log out this record gets deleted.

Occasionally, you may come across a situation when a user who is logged into the system is forced out. However, the ID of the user still continues to have a status of Currently Logged In. In such a situation, the user will not be allowed to log in to the system again.

Such User IDs can be cleared through the ‘Clear User Profile’ screen.You can invoke this screen by typing ‘CLRU’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button.

You can search for the users based on the following parameters:

Once you have specified the parameters click ‘Fetch’ button. The system lists the following details of the users who have logged into the application:

To force log out a user, check the box against the relevant user record and click ‘Clear’ button. The system will display a message to confirm the clear operation. To force log out all the users in a page, check the box against the header row, which will select all the users in the page. Further click the ‘Clear’ button. The selected users are logged off from the application.

Select the check boxes next to the User IDs which you want to clear and then click ‘Clear’ button.

3.2 System Time Level

This section contains the following topics:

3.2.1 Changing the System Time Level

The time level is allotted at two levels — at the system (branch) level and at the user level. For a user to be able to login, the time level for the user profile should be greater than or equal to that of the system. The time level can be between zero and nine.

You can change time level of the branch by using the ‘Change Time Level’ screen. You can invoke this screen by typing ‘ ‘SMDCHNTL’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button. Click ‘Users’ button for a display of the details of users who are currently logged in.

This screen shows a list of all users who are currently logged in and their respective Time Levels. When the Time Level of the branch is changed the system validates and displays a message if the Time Level of any of the Users is lesser than that of the newly changed value. These users can continue to log onto and work on the system till they log off. When they try to log in back the system validates and only allows such users access whose time levels are greater than that of the system.
