To log in to Workplace you must enter your assigned user name and password. Your administrator sets up these names using tools outside of Workplace. For more information, see User names.
When you first log in, Workplace displays the default page. In most cases, the Browse page is displayed, but your site administrator can select another default page. If your session in Workplace times out because the page was inactive too long, you will need to log in again, and the same page will be displayed.
Whenever you sign out, Workplace returns you to the Sign In page.
