Hi, I am trying to figure out how to reset a counter after a log in. Basically I am monitoring a parts counter in a press. When I reach a specified value I want to jump to a particular screen with the message PM required. Log in to reset counter. I am trying to figure out how to have a reset button only appear on the PM needed screen after a log in has happened. I have attached the programs and a screen shot with the green reset button to help you see what I am attempting. I only want the green reset to appear after a succesful log in.
Thanks

You can set up visibility animation on your counter reset button based on security user name or security letter code.

Hi

Not sure if this will be what you require, but I have had a very similar application recently, basically I wanted to show various objects (buttons data entry etc) ,depending on the security level, to achieve this I used a macro which would be called on log in to give a tag a value depending on the login level, this tag value was then used in the animation to make the object either visible or invisible. there was also a logout macro to reset the security to its low level.

Your method seems the easiest but when I do it my log out button stays visible. I don't need a seperate log out button do I to get to a particular screen. I am trying to use an existing log in button that allows another screen to show.

Thanks to everyone that pointed me in the right direction. I was able to figure out how to make the screen act the way I needed it too!!

I guess I'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to do.

You cannot set a Login button to open a new display. However, if you're trying to protect a specific display, then I would apply visibility animation (based on security user name) to the Goto Display button of the protected display. Then place only a Logout button and no other display navigation button on the protected display, and configure the Logout button to go back to the previous display on logout. This way it forces the maintenance personnel to logout when leaving that display.
