You are logged on as an element of a resource with a unique identification number. You are now able to perform tasks and raise exceptions.

If you logged on with a device resource element for which a presentation device and personalization is defined, the system uses the device’s presentation device and personalization.

If you logged on with a device resource element and entered a specific presentation device pursuant to step 2 above, the system uses this presentation device. If you (worker resource element) do not have a default presentation device, this one will be used and saved as the default.

If you log on without a device, or with a device resource element for which neither a presentation device nor personalization is defined, the system uses your (worker resource element’s) presentation device and personalization.
