Login Page MaTaP UWP App
A successful login is required to be able to access the MaTaP client.
The requirements for login are as follows;
- Profile
- How do users receive profiles in MaTaP?
- Once a service is selected, it is unlikely a regular user will need to change it, however, this can be achieved by clicking on the Profile button at the bottom of the page.
- Credentials
- Valid user credentials, including an existing login name and password, are necessary.
- These credentials carry important information regarding the user rights and capabilities of the logged in user.
Login Page Components
Note that the location of each component is described in the image caption.
Current Profile
- This gives an indication of the currently selected Profile, which carries the necessary information for connecting to a specific MaTaP project or Service.
Status Text
- This gives an indication of what to do next. This text informs the user whether they need to log in, the current step of the login process, or why the login may have failed.
Credentials Input Area
- A Username and Password, for a valid user that exists on the currently selected service, are required.
- Remember Me can be used to speed up subsequent logins by saving the credentials for the currently selected service.
Start Button
- Upon successful login, the user is automatically navigated to the home page. However, this button can be used to manually navigate there if the automation fails or if the user finds themselves back on the login page.
Profile Button
- This button can be used to switch between services. Different services represent different projects, with their respective data and tasks.
- Profiles should be maintained by an Admin, and it is unlikely that regular users will need to use this button.
Login Button
- This button is used to confirm the inputted credentials and access the service.
Settings Button
- This button can be used to access the client Settings.
- Settings should be maintained by an Admin, and it is unlikely that regular users will need to use this button.
NFC Login
RFID tags can be used to quickly 'tap in' to the client, essentially skipping the need to enter a username and password.
