To use Complete Time Tracking Professional you must first log in. An administrator or authorized user must create a user login account for you and provide you with the following login details.
| • | Server |
| • | User Name (the user's login name) |
| • | Password (case sensitive) |
Server
The Server specifies which central time tracking database to connect to. There are three components to the Server: the server computer name or IP address, the TCP port (optional if the default port is used), and the database name (optional if the default database is used). The format of Server is as follows:
ServerComputer/TCPPort:DatabaseName
For example:
server01
10.0.120.5
server01.company.com
server01/18400
server01:MyDepartment
server01.company.com/18400:MyDepartment
User Name
The User Name is set by the person that created your user account. It is not case sensitive.
Password
The Password is initially set by the person that created your user account.
Note: The password is case sensitive.
Important: You should change the initial password assigned you to something secure that you will remember. It is recommended that you change your password periodically.
If you have previously worked offline on the computer that you are currently using then an additional Work Offline option will be visible in the login window. See Offline Time Tracking for more information.
The Remember Password option stores the entered password securely and allows you to be automatically logged in when Complete Time Tracking is started to avoid the need to enter it each time. It should be used with caution as it allows anyone with access to your Windows account to log in to Complete Time Tracking. To clear the remember password option select Log Off from the File menu when logged in.
