Setting up the Visualizer
To successfully use the Visualizer you need to know how to access
it and to configure how it displays information.
- Logging in to the Visualizer
To use the Visualizer to view entities and entity data from the
entity database, you must first open the Visualizer and log in.
- Logging out of the Visualizer
Instead of closing the Visualizer completely, you can log out of
your current Visualizer session, which secures the system without forcing
you to reopen the Visualizer. You might logout when you are taking an extended
break away from your workstation. If you prefer, you can lock the Visualizer
instead of logging out.
- Closing the Visualizer
When you are finished using the Visualizer, you can exit the application.
If you want to use the Visualizer again, you will have to reopen the Visualizer
and login again. If you just want to secure your workstation for a few minutes,
rather than closing the Visualizer, you can lock it instead.
- Locking the Visualizer
If you want to secure your workstation without closing the Visualizer,
you can lock it. Locking the Visualizer retains your user name, but requires
your password to get back in. You might choose to lock the Visualizer, rather
than log out or close the Visualizer completely, if you are taking a break
or walking away from your workstation for a few minutes. If you are leaving
for the day, you probably want to close and exit the Visualizer.
- Changing your Visualizer password
If your Visualizer password was assigned to you or reset by a system
administrator, or if you feel your login information has been compromised,
you will want to change your Visualizer password to protect the security of
your Visualizer account.
- Configuring the Visualizer
You can configure a variety of settings that affect how you see
information in the Visualizer.
