Changing Your Password

In order to provide a greater level of security to the Datatel system, we have initiated a password aging policy that will take effect in a few months. The new policy will require that Datatel users change their login password on a frequent basis (every two months).

When the time allocated for your current password expires you will be presented with this message upon logging in to Datatel:

You will have to click the OK Button and you will be taken to the password change screen.

First - You will be prompted for your login password, you would enter your current Datatel Password here and press enter.

Second - You will next be prompted for a new password – the new password must meet the following conditions:

· It must be between 6 and 8 characters long

· It must be a combination of Letters and Numbers

· It must differ from your old password (by at least three characters)

· It must be different from your login name

· It should be esay for you to remember, difficult for others to guess

Finally - You will be asked to enter your new password once again to verify it; it needs to be exactly the same both times. Once you press enter Datatel will continue to log you into the system. You will not be able to change your password again for 7 days, but you will need to change your password again in 60 days. Please do not write your password down or give it to another person.

UI Changes for r17

There are a few minor changes to the User Interface (UI) in r17 that we would like to make people aware of:

Tree view – The menu listed down the side, when you are in a screen is called the tree. It has many uses, but can also take up valuable screen space.

To disable the tree view, click the tree icon on the menu bar. You will not be troubled with the tree view until you toggle it on again with the tree icon.

Cancel All icon - If you have multiple screens open, you can use this to cancel from all of them and return to the main menu.

Save All icon - If you have multiple screens open, you can use this to save all of them and return to the main menu.
