Creating passwords​

This chapter deals with the main functionality of Basic view, namely the secure storage and management of passwords. It should be noted that a password can be stored in different ways.

NOTE: The required settings and rights are given by the in-house administration. Further information can be found here: To do for the administration

NOTE: Managing and creating the corresponding applications is the responsibility of the in-house administration. How to create an application can be read here and in the following chapters.

Clicking on the existing application opens a window that asks for the user name and password.

Now the record can be opened by clicking on the corresponding tile.

Create without application​

Alternatively, it is also possible to create a data set without an application.

By clicking on the + symbol or right click ->New or CTRL+N a new window opens. In this window, the information relevant for the stored form is entered in the Password tab. It is also possible to assign the data record to each organizational unit to which the creating user is authorized. It does not matter in which tab the user is located. If a rights template is defined for the selected organizational unit, then this template will take effect at this point. It is also possible to define one or more corresponding tags for the data set.
