The Handy Library Management software is installed with a blank user ID and password. In the Login window, click "OK" without entering any information.

If you want to change the user ID or password in the future, enter your current Administrator user ID and password, and then click "OK."

Read the confirmation message and click "OK".

1. Administrator: Set a user ID and password to access the main library application.
2. Search Module: Set a user ID and password to open the search module (OPAC). If you want all library users to access the search module, leave the fields blank.
3. Data Entry Module: Set a user ID and password for the data entry module. If you want all library users to access this module, leave the fields blank.
4. Check In/Out Module: Set a user ID and password to access the check-in/check-out module. If you want all library users to access this module, leave the fields blank.
5. Click "Save" to apply the changes. Once finished, close the Options window and restart the application.

Please enter your Administrator user ID and/or password to access the library administration program.

Question:
How do I distinguish between different types of system users? I would like to have 2 or 3 people who can make any kinds of changes and then 5 or 6 people who can only check books in and out and search for books, but not modify records.

Answer:
Define a password for 2 or 3 individuals who access the main library application. Additionally, define separate password for 5 or 6 individuals who access the check-in/out module.

Question:
I can create an admin id and password and everything works. I do not seem to be able to create search, data entry or check in/out IDs. It lets me type it in (when I hit change) but does not store it. Is this only because I am using a 30 day test version?

Answer:
Our trial version is fully functional. Please check the instructions, and your logins and passwords should work for both the main program and all library modules.

Question:
Just wanted to thank you for all the help you have been over the past several months. We are finally ready to purchase the software and launch our church library. I noticed that there is really no security to stop anyone from opening the library software. Is there a way to assign admins with their own passwords? Patrons will use the check-out module which is okay but we do not want them to have access to the main databases.

Answer:
You can define the login name and password for access to the main library software.
