Logging In and Out

If you try to access an application without having logged in already, the system presents a login page. The applications use your login information to display the options relevant to your role(s), give you access to information for your company, and let you work on the items you own.

Your login page may be different than the one described and may even be a dialog box instead of a Web page. You still must enter at least a user name and password. For help completing custom login pages, see your ENOVIA Business Administrator.

This task shows you how to:

Log In to ENOVIA Products

Before you begin: The Business Administrator must have set up your login information.

  1. In your Web browser, navigate to the URL or link provided to you.



    You cannot log into the same ENOVIA Live Collaboration system from different machines at the same time, although you can log in using multiple browser windows on the same machine. If your company uses multiple servers, such as one for the production environment and one for the development environment, you can log into both systems from the same or different machines.

  2. At the login page, type your user name in the Username box.

    This field is case sensitive. Make sure you type uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as specified by your Administrator.

  3. Type your password in the Password box.

    This field is case sensitive. Make sure you type uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as specified by your Administrator.

  4. If the login page has a Secure ID box and you are required to enter a secure ID to log in, enter your pin number and the ID shown on your SecureID Key Fob. If you are not required to enter a secure ID, leave the box blank.

  5. Click Login.

    If your company uses security context, you see the "Choose a Security Context" screen.



    You only see this screen if you have more than one context assigned to you. Choose the one you want to use for this session and click Done.

    The ENOVIA user interface opens. The and Actions menus contain the applications you have access to and the options appropriate for the roles you are assigned. The largest section of the window shows the Home page.

    If you see a message that a license is not available or you have not been assigned a license for a needed ENOVIA product, contact your ENOVIA Business Administrator.

Log Out from ENOVIA Products

  • Click the Logout tool in the global toolbar.

    Depending on how your system is set up, the system returns you to the Login page or to the page you used to launch ENOVIA products. If you logged in using a centralized login page, which logged you into applications other than just ENOVIA products, you will not be logged out of that system until you close the browser window. (If you are not sure if the login is centralized, close the browser to be sure you are logged off.)

    If you click the Logout tool and the Application Menu page displays or the applications remain open, your system may not be configured properly. Close the browser window to log out and contact your Administrator.

    On PCs and Unix systems, closing the browser logs you off the applications and is the same as using the Logout tool, as described above.

    On Macintosh systems, exiting the browser does not log you out. Instead, you must use the Logout tool to log out. For example, when using ENOVIA products on a Macintosh, suppose you quit the browser, instead of logging out as described above. You then open the browser again and enter your login URL. Instead of opening the Login page to ask for your user name, the system opens the main ENOVIA products window and the user who logged in prior to quitting the browser is the current user.
