Database Screens . 



The "screens" shown in Figures 1 through 17 are typewritten copies of 

 the information that appear on the monitors of users as they use the 

 WETLANDS dated>ase. To the extent possible , these figures are 

 complete copies of the screens seen. All significant screens which 

 are encountered in a routine novice session are displayed herein. 

 Screens displayed while in expert mode are not shown. 



LOGGING 0N» Screens 1 and 2. [Please read this entire section 

 before trying to log on to the system 1 ] As a user, you will "log on" 

 tp the Council's Digital computer by having your computer modem dial 

 \^SfW^^^^^' 24 hoiirs a day (except during scheduled system back- 

 ups Qr^naintftnance) • To use our system, you should set your modem 

 tos ^^Qk|||Jtii^Xl(1200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bits). 

 This is done in your own communications program. These numbers are 

 commonly used in commxinications , and so your computer may already be 

 set to these numbers. If not, you will have to change your settings. 



After receiving a CONNECT message, it is sometimes necessary to press 

 the Return or Enter key one to three times (this is to allow your 

 modem and the database's to equalize their operating speeds). Tou 

 should try this if you do not receive the message shown at the top of 

 Figure 1 within three seconds. If you fail to do this, you may be 

 disconnected and will have to dail again. 



Users will be greeted by the log-on screen shown in Figure 1. The 

 purpose of this screen is to permit only authorized (pre-identified) 

 users to access the database. Each user will then enter his/her pre- 

 assigned identification code emd a return (an "enter" button on some 

 keyboards), then enter his/her self-created password and a return 

 (passvrord characters are not displayed on the screen) . Assuming 

 authorized IDs and passwords are used. Figure 3 will appear. 



If for some reason the usemame or password cannot be accepted. 

 Figure 2 (or part of it) will appear. If the log-on cannot be 

 completed after three attempts, the user will be disconnected 

 automatically. After a "User authorization failure" error message, 

 you must press a Return or Enter to try again. If you take more than 

 about 20 seconds to supply either the usemame or password, the 

 system will disconnect you. If you make a zoistake entering the 

 usemame or password, you may be able to backspace and re-enter, or 

 you could just go ahead and press a Return, get the error message, 

 and try again. Remember, you get three tries to enter the usemame 

 and p&Bsyaoxdf and even if these fail, all you have to do is redial 

 and try again. 



During 1988, anyone can access the system by using the following:
