It is important to log into ViewPoint with your own user account: Your account contains settings specific to your responsibilities and preferences. In addition, ViewPoint maintains records of the actions performed by each user logged into the system. We also suggest you log out each time you step away from your workstation to prevent others from using your account.
While ViewPoint is loaded on your workstation, you can log in and out without exiting and re-entering the system.
ViewPoint Toolbar - Login. Or, press Ctrl-L on your keyboard from any ViewPoint window.

Enter Credentials - (Required.) To identify yourself, type your user name and password in the log in fields, or touch the fingerprint sensor. Note that ViewPoint passwords are case-sensitive. (See "Acquire Staff Fingerprints" for details about using fingerprints to access your system.)
Additional Details - (Optional.) You may want to review and update additional log in options.
Location (Optional.) - As you log into ViewPoint, you may select your office location. Any receipts you post will be credited to that office, regardless of the office assigned to the patient folder. If you do not select a location as you log in, receipts you post are credited to the patient's home office. In addition, receipts are always posted to the orthodontist currently assigned to the patient folder.

Or, set up your computer to automatically log you out of ViewPoint after a certain period of inactivity. (See "Set Up ViewPoint Properties" for details.)
