0 or Blank
This optional field will mandate that all staff passwords (Whether
they will expire after a specified number of days or not) must be at
least the entered number of characters long. A common value for
this field is which will force all passwords to be at least 4
characters long.

Alphanumeric.
False
This optional field will mandate that all passwords must contain
both letters and numbers. This is done in order to stop staff from
using easily guessed passwords.
Enable Password Security
By default, there are no employees entered into the system when it is first installed. Often, in an
owner/operator situation, it is desirable that there be no security passwords at all. This is because where the people
than own the center, run the center, typing password would only get in the way.
However, for virtually all other Bowling Centers, security is definitely required.
To enable the security system, click on the Employee Details button in the System Management menu. Click
on the Add button to create a new employee. A warning screen will pop up telling you that once the security system
is activated, it can’t be turned off. Click on the OK button to continue. Make sure that the first employee you add has
a General Manager security level. This is because a General Manager is required to enter the Employee Details
screen.
Fill in all the contact details and enter a password for the General Manager. Select General Manager from the
List of Access Levels.
The description of these Access Levels is as follows:
Access Level
Comment
No Access
This is the lowest level that should be used when an Employee has left the
company and should no longer be able to use the computer. The name should
be kept is case you wish to look through any historical records of the employee’s
history. You should also change the employee’s password in this situation.
