Login

Overview

The user sees this screen when they first access IPMS and whenever their session expires.

Accessed from

Whenever the user is required to login, the login screen will be displayed. This will most often be when they open the Web browser and attempt to access an IPMS screen. This will also occur when the user has been logged in for an extended period (depends on user profile) and they attempt to access an IPMS screen

Screen Sample

How to use the screen

The user enters their user id, password and company and clicks on the Login button and the user is taken to the screen that they attempted to access when the Login screen appeared.

 

If the user?s password has expired then, from this screen, they will be taken to the Change Password screen where they will be required to change their password. This is necessary when the user?s password has expired as otherwise they would not be able to gain access to IPMS in order to change their password.
