8.7 Set Up Security Settings
As a security precaution, you may enable a feature that locks the Nform application after a specified
amount of idle time following the Administrator logon. When this occurs, the application remains
locked until the user enters a password. This feature is intended to prevent unauthorized personnel
from using the Administrator’s workstation to alter Nform settings.
By default, this feature is disabled (False) with an idle time of 25 minutes.
Even when this feature is enabled, Nform will not log off the Administrator user when the Configure
tab is active.
To enable this security option:
• Log on as Administrator.
• Click on the Configure tab.
• In the left side of the window, click on Security Settings, then on Local Policies, and finally on
Security Options. The right side of the window displays two options.
Enable (or Disable) Automatic Logoff
• Double-click on Automatically log off user when logon time expires to open the Security
Options window, shown above right.
• To enable the automatic logoff feature, select True from the drop-down list and click OK. (To dis-
able the feature, select False. With this option, no automatic logoff will occur.)
• Click on the File menu at the top of the window, then click on Save. (Or click the Save button
on the toolbar.)
Change Amount of Idle Time Before Automatic Logoff
• To change the amount of idle time that must
elapse before the Administrator is logged off,
double-click on Amount of idle time
required before log off in minutes to open
the Security Options window, shown at right.
• Enter the desired idle time in minutes and
click OK.
• Click on the File menu at the top of the win-
dow, and then click on Save. (Or click the
Save button on the toolbar.)
