User Log In Screen

This security screen appears after you enter a valid Login ID and password at the System Log-In Form, the first screen that appears each time you attempt to access STORIS. Then, depending on how your system is set up, you must enter a response at one or more fields on this screen before you can proceed to the STORIS Main Menu. However, this screen does not appear during logon if the Allow Logon Passthrough field is enabled in the User settings for the logon user.

If you cannot access the User Log In screen, contact your system administrator who maintains your Login ID and password. For more information on Server IDs, see the Help on the O/S Logon field in the Create a User settings.

If you have permission to access Recover STORIS Licenses and no licenses are available when logging in, a message appears with the option to free up a license via the Recover STORIS Licenses process. Otherwise, you are logged out.

Enter your STORIS password. Passwords reside in the Create a User settings. For this field to be active, Extended Security must be active via the General System Control Settings. If you are not using the complex passwords feature, you can change a user password at any time via the Create a User settings. If you are using complex passwords, you cannot change the password via Create a User. See the Password field in Create a User for more detail.

Anytime you edit the Create a User settings, you must restart your session for the change to take affect.

If using Complex Passwords, the password you enter must conform to PCI requirements.

Use this field to specify the default response you want to appear at Location fields throughout the system during the current log-on session. If the following is true on the Output Tab of the User File record for the current user, a default location appears in this field:

a check appears at the Default a Location field
at least one location has been entered at the Valid Locations field

If no valid locations have been entered for this user, the user cannot access the system. If more than one location has been entered for this user, the system uses the first one on the list as the default for this field. If you click on the Arrow next to the field, you can choose a new location (if any) from the list that appears.

Use this field to specify the default response (if any) you want to appear at Cash Drawer fields throughout the system during the current log-on session. The default cash drawer at this field is drawn from the log-in user's Create a User settings. You can accept the default response or click on the Search button to select from a list of cash drawers to which you have access.

To access this field, the Cash Drawer function must be active via the Use Cash Drawers field in the POS Bar Code Control Settings

Use this field to select from a list of available payment terminal IDs. Once a select is made, the payment terminal description appears next to the field. Payment terminals are set up in EMV Terminal Settings. This field is only active if an EMV module, Shift4 or Tender Retail is currently active and the selected login location is EMV-enabled.

The default terminal ID follows a hierarchy that can be found in the introduction of the EMV Terminal Settings topic. This hierarchy stands with the exception that a user with an assigned default payment terminal logs into a location that differs from the payment terminal's assigned location. In this case, if the cash drawer has been assigned a default payment terminal, that payment terminal is used. Additionally, if Allow Logon Passthrough on the Security tab of Create a User/General tab of Create a User Group is enabled, this same hierarchy is used.

This field is only visible if you are operating in a terminal server environment. Check this box if you have verified that there is a signature capture device attached to your workstation. Otherwise, leave the box blank.

If the Allow Logon Passthrough field in your Create a User or Create a User Group settings is not checked, and the Enable Signature Capture check box is checked on the General tab of your user settings, this field defaults to checked or unchecked according to your user setting.

When you have entered valid responses to all required fields on the screen, the Log In button becomes active. The buttons, when active, perform the following functions:
