Logging On and Off 
			 Logging on 
			  
				- All PANDAS users must log on before using the archiving system. To do this they require a Username and a Password. The Agency Adminisrator or the PANDAS administrator can set up the user account. There are some conventions that need to be followed especially in regard to hyphenated or compound names and names that include articles or preposition (e.g. de, van). Please contact the PANDAS Adminstrator for advice in setting up such names. The first time when the new user logs on to PANDAS they will be asked to change their password following the conventions indicated below.

				  password by selecting My Settings from the
				  Main Menu.
  
				- Change and verify your new password in the specified fields.
				  The password must be at least 6 characters and include one number. The password
				  can have a maximum of 25 characters. E.g min3rva

			 Logging off 
			  
				- It is preferable and good practice to log off PANDAS
				  when you have finished working on the system of if you do not intend using the
				  system for a while. If you remain inactive in a session for a period of time,
				  you will be automatically timed out.
  
				- The Log Off button is located at the top left hand
				  corner of the PANDAS Title Bar. After clicking Log Off, you will
				  be asked for to confirm that you wish to log off. Finally a screen will display
				  saying you are logged off and allowing you to either re-enter PANDAS or
				  link to the PANDORA Homepage.
