If no menu is specified for a user on the User Maintenance form then this menu displays when the user logs into WebView.

Keep Menu Open on Pages

Select this option to keep the main menu option on pages as the default.

Note: Menu options Show all and Hide all are available within WebView so you can show or hide the menu as required, regardless of this setting.

Web Access Defaults

These settings defaults with the user when defining their requirements for WebView. They are defaults only and can be overridden on the User Maintenance form.

Allowed Web Access - Select to indicate the user can access WebView.

This controls how to manage invalid login attempts.

User - The user selected is emailed when there is an invalid login attempt meeting the criteria specified here. Ensure the user has an email address specified on the User Maintenance form.
Invalid Attempt Threshold - This is the number of invalid attempts the users are allowed before their account is locked.
