Logon

When you start eLab the first screen that you see is the Logon screen. Specify your group membership details, Username and password then press Logon to access the system.

If you are the only user of your computer you may decide to simplify the logon process by selecting the appropriate options below the password box:

Remember me. The Logon screen will remember your group and username details.
Remember my password. The logon screen will remember group, username and password details.
Sign me in automatically. When eLab is run is you will be automatically signed in with the details that you provide.
Forget me. Clears all the above checkboxes.

Note: The availability of these of these options depends on the level of compliance set for the system and your user account. To modify your level of compliance, to allow or disallow these options, see Editing a User or Contact.
