Whenever you start DT Max, you are prompted to enter your user ID. This enables DT Max to read your user profile and recognize you as an authorized user. The user ID entered at the last session is remembered by DT Max and automatically appears when restarting the program. If it is yours, you may proceed; otherwise, you may substitute your own user ID to the one being displayed. If the DT Max security system is operational, you may also be required to enter a password. The use of a password would prevent other users from logging on using your user ID alone. The user ID is a code of up to four characters which differentiates you from the other DT Max users on the same database. If your firm requires the use of passwords, user ID's will be allocated by the system supervisor and set up with certain rights and privileges. Most frequently, your user ID will consist of your initials. The password is up to you, and you can change it whenever you want. If passwords are not required and you enter a new user ID, DT Max will consider this a request to create a new user ID and will ask you to confirm whether this is what you want. If you only have access to your own clients but need to be able to enter data for the clients of another staff member in your firm, you will be able to do so if the user ID of that particular staff member is marked as an accessible user ID in the security system setup. Because user ID's and passwords are tied to a database, you can have different ones for different databases, and also for the T1, T2 and T3 programs.
