Locking the Software
PAY@PC includes a quick locking feature that allows your sales data to be protected from unauthorized use.
If multiple users have access to PAY@PC or you work at a public location, the Lock feature will come in handy.
To lock the software, click on the Lock Screen menu item located on the top-right.
Tapping on a locked screen will bring up the Logon Window were you enter your User Name and Password.
PAY@PC will remember the previous user that logged in.
It is recommended that you save any new sales data before locking the screen, otherwise someone logging in
with different security settings and credentials will not be able to save your data.
When logged on as the Administrator, you will automatically be logged off after 15 minutes of inactivity. Thus,
it is recommended that you only use the administrator account when accessing administrator functions rather
than performing sales transactions.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If for some reason you cannot log back it or get locked out of the system, but wish to exit the program, click on
the Exit Program link at the bottom left of the Logon Screen. Any unsaved information will be lost.
