Automatically log into Workflow

The default method of logging in to Workflow, and the only method available immediately after a new installation, is manually. However, the system can be configured to allow automatic login, in which case the steps for logging in are those outlined in this procedure.

Before you begin

To log in to Workflow, the system must be in a state of either Complete or Partial health. For more information, see System Health and Program Use.

Prerequisites: Configure automatic login

Procedure

Launch the Workflow client using either the Start menu or desktop icon.
If automatic login is enabled and configured, the user credentials are authenticated and the Workflow client appears.
If applicable, launch additional sessions of Workflow.
If you log out of any session for any reason, the Login dialog box appears. Click Auto Login to log in again with the appropriate credentials.
