Secret Question Entry

All user types are offered this functionality. The secret question is used as an extra layer of security if your logon details are forgotten for example. It is not mandatory so there is an option to ignore the Secret Question by clicking on ‘No thanks’ if you do not want to set one up.
Account PIN
When you logon for the first time if your account requires a PIN but this hasn't’t been setup yet you will be asked to set a 6 digit PIN, as shown below. Staff Members do not need to enter a PIN, this is just for Staff Member Administrators.

The PIN will be checked and if it is deemed to be insecure then you will be asked to enter a different PIN

Account activation
Some accounts will need to be activated before they are able to proceed with their initial Logon process.

Tip An example of an account that would need verification would be when the first Staff member Administrator account setup for your establishment. If a Staff Member Administrator creates a new Staff Member account then this would not need to be activated before they could use it

To complete activation an email will be sent to the email address being used as your username. On this email there will be a link to verify your account. Click on this link and a page should open to advise your account has been activated. You will then be able to logon to the site. If your account is already active you will receive an error message. If there are any issues with the activation key then you may be prompted to enter it manually.

If you have any problems with the activation key you received on your email you can request a new one by clicking on the Resend Activation E-mail button.

Multiple Role Logons
Some logons will have the ability to access the system as different types of users at different establishments.

If your logon has been created with access to multiple roles then once you pass the initial logon screen you will be asked to select which User you wish to log in as.

Once the user type is selected any further security details relevant to that user type will need to be entered.

Tip If one of your roles is likely to be used more than others then this can be set as your default by putting a tick in the ‘Remember this for next time’ option. This role with then automatically be selected each time you log in until the details are manually changed within your User Management screen.

Licensing
In order to use the system your Establishment must have a valid license. If this has expired then once you have entered your logon details you will see a message prompting you to contact your school’s InfoMentor Administrator or the InfoMentor support team.
