Alter Password

A user can change his or her password when prompted to do so by the program during logon, or anytime by using the File > Alter Password choice from the top menu. This brings up the screen shown. Type the new password twice to be certain it is entered correctly, then click OK. An Administrator can force a user to change the current password by making the Password Expiration Date on the User Information screen yesterday. See User Information.


Changing the password

Alter Password Field Descriptions

Data Prompt Description
Login ID ID of current user, cannot be altered.
New Password User enters new password. The available field length is determined by the settings in Security Validation. On exiting the field, SYSTOC verifies that the password meets all the requirements for a valid password, and warns the user if it does not.
Confirm Password The password must be entered twice to verify accuracy.

Change User

SYSTOC activity is stamped with the User ID of the person who logged on to the program for a data entry session, and security rights to various sections are controlled by the User ID. When one data entry person replaces another at a workstation, use the Change User function to ensure accurate recording of the data entry performed by each employee and protect the system from unauthorized access. The following list explains the various ways to end the current session and bring up the Login screen where a different user can log on.
  • Navigate to File menu > Change User
  • Press Alt+F, C
  • Click on your User ID in the upper right corner of the SYSTOC screen, to the right of the message field

Change user

If the next user will be working in the same area of the system you are using, you may want to change users without changing your location within the system. To do this, press the F11 key to lock your screen in the minimized position, release the current user, and display a box for entering a user ID and password. When the next password is entered, it logs the user onto the system and restores the screen that was displayed when the F11 key was pressed (as long as the two users share the same permissions for this screen). This is particularly useful in setting up a computer for use by a clinic physician, who can then simply enter his or her password and immediately access the appropriate screen.
Note: Regardless of where you log into the system, SYSTOC automatically locks a user's account after five unsuccessful login attempts. Accounts can be unlocked by a user with appropriate rights; see User Information for more information.

Note that logging into SYSTOC (or using the Change User or F11 Lock Workstation features) may cause problems with open, unsaved PDF documents. Please save your work often, and always save prior to changing users.

Using SYSTOC in a Terminal Services environment requires correct setup (explained in documentation on workstation installation) for each user's permissions in Terminal Services to ensure that logging into SYSTOC (or using the Change User or F11 Lock Workstation features) does not interfere with the work of other users on the server.
