2.1 Starting NWBC Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

To log on to and use NWBC, you need to have an NWBC shortcut on your desktop. Once your system administrator has installed the Business Client on your machine, you can make your own settings and start performing your daily tasks. You also need to change your password the first time you log on, and at regular intervals thereafter.

Open NWBC when you start working. To start NWBC, double-click the shortcut icon on your desktop:

NWBC starts and displays either a logon dialog or a system selection dialog or it starts your application directly.

Logon Dialog

If you have already configured a system connection and have not changed the default setting for an active Auto Logon, then the logon screen is displayed the first time you open NWBC, or NWBC opens directly with the roles configured for your user.

Note Note

Note that with an active Auto Logon setting, NWBC always uses the last used/active system connection which you have defined in your system configuration.

End of the note.

  • To change an existing system connection, select the corresponding connection and choose the icon Edit (Edit). The usual system connection dialog is displayed where you can change the entries for a given system connection.

  • To delete an existing system connection, select the corresponding connection and choose the icon Delete (Delete). A confirmation popup is displayed. If you choose Delete, then the system connection is deleted from the system selection dialog as well as from the system configuration dialog.
