Logging into the software

Run the software using one of the shortcuts provided:

From the Desktop 

From the Start menu 

You can also use Windows Explorer to double click on the program file, InteractiveChecklist.exe.

On loading the software, you will be presented with the Login dialog:

With Windows Authentication, you can log into IDC automatically using the details you used to log into Windows, and this is the mode that most users will use. However, if you have more than one person using a computer, it is possible to log in using Application authentication and this allows you to enter your user name and password for IDC irrespective of the user who is currently logged into Windows. More information is provided about this in the section dealing with user management.

In the example shown in the above dialog, we have 2 connections available to us, one to a database stored on the local computer and one to a database stored in a network server at the office.

Select the database you wish to log into by ticking the checkbox to the left of the name of the connection and click on Login. You will be presented with the main window of the application.
