CyberTime 6 Accounts Manager Application

Type : Server Application

What does it do? Why would you use it?

The Accounts Manager application is one of the most important and most used applications for CyberTime This is the application that will control user time and charges along with applications tracking for workstation use.

• Utilities Page (How to perform basic maintenance on CyberTime)

You can run the Accounts Manager by selecting the icon from the C:\CT6 sub-folder, or by selecting it from the menu option under the Windows Start / Programs / CyberTime 6.0 program folder.

NOTE: When CyberTime 6 is initially installed, the default Master User Name and Password are set to :

Master User Name : ADMIN

Password : PASSWORD

NOTE: For this example, the default Master User Name and Password are still in effect. You can change these security items with the System Administrator application mentioned in the above section. Once these settings are changed, the red warning message will no longer appear.

Enter the Master User Name and Password (or an Employee User Name and Password, if any have been setup). Click OK to continue. If the user name and password are valid, the login screen will disappear, and you will be presented with the user account maintenance window.

User Account Page

This user screen has several areas of importance. The first areas highlighted below are used to navigate user records and perform account creating, edits or deletions.

The buttons along the top (Add, Save, Delete, Cancel and Refresh) are used to accomplish certain functions to the user record that is currently being viewed. The button functions are as follows:

• Add : Adds a new record and creates a new user account.
• Save : Saves information that has just been created for a new account or information that has been updated from an existing account.
• Delete : Deletes the currently viewed record.

The three remaining buttons, "Create Account(s) From Template, Delete A Template, and Save As Template" are used to create, delete, and store information that you may want to use as default account data for faster account setup. These features will be discussed later in this text.

The next area is used to supply general information about the user his or her account status.

The User Name is used to identify the user when he or she login into a workstation. The password also corresponds to the user name as a secure way of accessing the account. When a user logs into a workstation with the Customer Monitor, he or she will need to do so by entering a User Name and Password, specified here. Note that if a user forgets the account password, it can be revealed by placing the mouse cursor over the "?" at the end of the password text box. The password will be revealed, and with return to password mode as soon as the cursor or moved off the "?"

The First and Last name fields are used to identify the user's real identity.

The Active Account check box is used to determine if the user's account is currently usable or not. In order for a user to login, the account MUST be active. The active status can only be enabled with the Accounts Manager. Different account types and system settings will affect how the active status acts to account use. The different kinds of account will be discussed later in this section. The Customer Monitor will deactivate the account under the following conditions:

• If the user has a Flat Rate type account and is accruing an amount due while using the workstation and the option in the System Administrator is set to deactivate upon logoff. This is so the user can not logoff the system and log back in until the System Administrator has noted that the user has paid for the time already used.
• If the user has a Time Block type account and the user runs out of time. Until then, the account stays active and the user can login, logout and log back in as many times as desired until the allocated time has been depleted. The account is only deactivated once there is no time left on the account.
• If the user has a Time Block type account and the auto extend feature is enabled, the account will be deactivated once the user's account time runs out and a fee is accrued while the user continues to run over the time purchased. This is so the user can not logoff the system and log back in until the System Administrator has noted that the user has paid for the time already used.
• If the user has a Date Block type account and the termination date for the account. Note that the account will not be deactivated until the user attempts to login and a check is done to see if the account has expired.

Flat Rate and Time Block type accounts also have the option of an account expiration date. With any values set to these types of accounts, the administrator can select a date when the account will no longer function, regardless if the user has any time remaining or has even even used the account.

The Track Applications check box is used to report on the user's application usage activity while logged on. The applications to be tracked are maintained under the "Applications" section of the Accounts Manager, discussed later in this chapter.

The bottom section of the window indicates how much the user owes (if anything) from the last time he or she was on-line, along with the last date and time the user logged on. The next time the user logs in, this amount will be set to the new amount.

There are four different kinds of accounts, each with their own billing and time tracking properties. Selecting the drop-down box arrow will reveal the four different kinds of accounts. Selecting one will then change the below data entry screen to the appropriate field entries.

The four types of account types and how they work are as follows :

• Flat Rate Type 1 - This type of account, in general bills the user while he or she is on-line per minute of system use. There is no time limit placed on this account (Unless an account expiration date is set). The amount the user owes is accrued per each minute and is totaled and entered into the transaction database once the user has logged off. Note that the user is charged for the minute ahead of time, and not the minute just used. Once a user logs in, he or she is charged for at least one minute. The specifics of a Type 1 flat rate account is that you have the option of specifying a specific time slot in which to charge a different hourly rate. These time slots are merely options and do not have to be used for a simple per minute charge. An hourly rate is entered for the standard per hour charge and for the special rates.

  EXAMPLE : You want to charge a user $0.10 (or 10 cents) per minute, no matter when he or she logs in.

  Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. For the Account Type, select Flat Rate - Type 1. In the per Hour Charge text box, enter 6.00 ($0.10 * 60 minutes = 6.00). Click the Save button. That's it. Now the user can login from a workstation and using his or her user name and password, will be able to use the system and be charged $0.10 per minute. The total amount due will be posted (and optionally printed) when the user logs off. 

  EXAMPLE : You want to charge a user $0.10 (or 10 cents) per minute, but you also want to charge the user $0.05 (or 5 cents) during the hours of 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. This means that if the user is using the account outside of 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, the charge rate will be 10 cents per minute. But if the user logs in during the time slot's range or uses the account when the time on-line moves into the time slot range, the new rate will be 5 cents per minute.

  Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. For the Account Type, select Flat Rate - Type I. In the per Hour Charge text box, enter 6.00 ($0.10 * 60 minutes = 6.00). Now select the Range 1 option. Enter the time 05:00 PM in the From text box, and 06:00 PM in the To text box. Then enter 3.00 ($0.05 * 60 minutes -- 3.00) in the Use Rate text box. Click the save button.

• Flat Rate - Type 2 - This flat rate style account also charges the user by a per minute charge. However, with the Type 2 account, you have the option of starting a new charge rate after the user has spent a specific amount of time on-line. You also have the option to specify a minimum amount for time the user can be charged. For example, if the account is specified as 30 minutes minimum and the user is only logged in for 5 minutes, the fee will still be calculated for 30 minutes when the user logs off.

  EXAMPLE : You want to charge a user $0.10 (or 10 cents) per minute for the first 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, you want to charge $0.05 (or 5 cents) per minute. You do not want to specify any minimum time the user should be charged.

  Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. Select the Flat Rate - Type 2 account type. Enter 6.00 in the Per Hour Charge text box. Keep the Minimum Time To Charge text box at 0. Under the Special Rate area, enter 0 for the Hour text box, and 30 for the Minutes text box. Then enter 3.00 for the Per Hour charge. Click the save button. 

  EXAMPLE : You want to charge a user $0.10 (or 10 cents) per minute for the first 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, you want to charge $0.05 (or 5 cents) per minute. You also want to charge the user a minimum of 30 minutes use. So if the user logs off before 30 minutes of use, the user will be charged $3.00 regardless of how much time he or she was really on-line. However, is the user logs off after 30 minutes of use, the charge will be $3.00 + whatever time has passed with the new rate of 5 cents per minute.

  Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. Select the Flat Rate - Type 2 account type. Enter 6.00 in the Per Hour Charge text box. Enter 30 in the Minimum Time To Charge text box. Under the Special Rate area, enter 0 for the Hour text box, and 31 for the Minutes text box. Then enter 3.00 for the Per Hour charge. NOTE: The special rate must take effect AFTER any minimum specified time. Thus, you can not have a situation where the new rate takes affect before the minimum time has occurred. Click the save button. 

• Time Block- A Time Block account is a prepaid account. The user is provided with a specific amount of time and pays for the time at the account creating (or update). Once saved, the account is active and the user can login and logout until there is no time left on the account. Time is removed per minute while the user is logged in. Note that when a user logs in, the countdown begins immediately and NOT after the first minute has been already used. Once the account no longer has any time allocated to it, the Customer Monitor will attempt to take control of the workstation and return it to a login screen where the workstation can no longer be used until the next user logs in. In addition, there is an option for allowing the user to continue to use the a system once the account runs out of time. The Auto-Extend feature allows the user to be charged just like a simple flat rate type account once allocated time has run out.

  The auto-extend option can be used for a variety of needs. However, it is especially useful with certain game applications. When the user runs out of time, the Customer Monitor attempts to move all applications to a minimized and background state, and force the Customer Monitor application for the foreground so the workstation can not be used. While most desktop applications work perfectly when this occurs, some games do not. This is because some games specifically refuse to acknowledge certain windows messages and commands so that they can have full use of the processor for optimal performance. Some games will subside to CyberTime, others simply will not. If you are using games that are refusing to go to the background when CyberTime runs out of time and logs the user off, you way want to use (and make your customers aware) of this charge option.

  Note also that if you are creating a new account, there is no time on the account be default. If you are editing an account that already exists and still has time on it, you will be adding time to the existing time by entering any amount of hours or minutes. Time can be removed by entering negative amounts. Examples will follow.

  EXAMPLE: You want to give a user 2 hours of time and charge the user $4.00 for this time. The user logs in, and time is removed from the account minute by minute until it is gone. The user can log out and log back in as many times as he or she wants until the time is gone. You want the Customer Monitor to log the user out and prevent workstation use once the time has run out.

  Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. Select the Time Block account type. Enter 2 in the Hours text box. Enter 0 in the Minutes text box. Enter 4.00 in the Price text box. Click the save button. Since there has been a charge noted for this transaction, you will be asked if you want to print the receipt for this transaction. Even if you reply NO, the transaction will be denoted in the receipts transaction database. Once the account is saved, the allocated time will show 120 minutes on the account. 

  EXAMPLE : You want to give a user 1 hour and 30 minutes of time and charge $2.50 for it. The user logs in, and time is removed from the account minute by minute until it is gone. The user can log out and log back in as many times as he or she wants until the time is gone. You want the Customer Monitor to log the user out and prevent workstation use once the time has run out.

  Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. Select the Time Block account type. Enter 1 in the Hours text box. Enter 30 in the Minutes text box. Enter 2.50 in the Price text box. Click the save button. Since there has been a charge noted for this transaction, you will be asked if you want to print the receipt for this transaction. Even if you reply NO, the transaction will be denoted in the receipts transaction database. Once you save the account, the allocated time will show as 90 minutes on the account.

  EXAMPLE : You have a user that has a Time Block account already setup. The user still has 15 minutes on the account and wants to purchase more time. The user will purchase another 30 minutes for $1.50.

  Select the user's account from the list box on the left of the screen. Enter 0 in the Hours text box and 30 in the Minutes box. Enter 1.50 in the Price text box. Click the save button, and 30 minutes will be added to the already existing 15 minutes for a total of 45 minutes allocated to the account. 

  EXAMPLE : You want to give a user 1 hour of time and charge $3.00. However, you want to charge the user $0.10 (or 10 cents) per minute once the user's time runs out rather than having the workstation software log the user out. The accrued fee will then be logged into the receipts database and an optional receipt will be printed out.

  Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. Select the Time Block account type. Enter 1 in the Hours text box. Enter 0 in the Minutes text box. Enter 3.00 in the Price text box. Select the Auto-Extend check box to enabled the feature. Enter 6.00 ($0.10 * 60 minutes = 6.00) in the Amount To Charge Per Hour text box. Click the save button. Since there has been a charge noted for this transaction, you will be asked if you want to print the receipt for this transaction. Even if you reply NO, the transaction will be denoted in the receipts transaction database. Once you save the account, the allocated time will show as 60 minutes on the account. You can also perform this operation on an existing account with time still allocated to it. In this case, the new allocated time will be whatever time was already on the account plus the new amount you have added.  

  EXAMPLE : You have a user with a Time Block account and 15 minutes allocated time. You want to remove 5 minutes from the account.

  Select the user's account from the list box on the left of the screen. Enter 0 in the Hours text box and -5 in the Minutes box. Enter 0 in the Price text box. Click the save button, and the time allocated will go from 15 to 10 minutes.

• Date Block- A Date Block is a prepaid account type that allows the user to login and logout until the specified termination date has been reached. Once the account no longer has any time allocated to it, the Customer Monitor will attempt to take control of the workstation and return it to a login screen where the workstation can no longer be used until the next user logs in.

  EXAMPLE : You want to grant a user unlimited workstation time until 08/15/2000 and charge the user $5.00. Click the Add button along the top of the window and enter the general user account data. Make sure the account is active. Select the Date Block as the account type. Click the calendar button on the Termination Date text box.  

  Now, select the date that the account is to expire.

  Then enter the amount to charge $5.00 in the Price text box. Click the save button. 

  IMPORTANT : It is necessary for the server AND ALL the workstations to have the same date format, posted in the system's Control Panel / Regional Settings / Date section. The date format that CyberTime uses is the Short Date format. This format should use a four digit year to be Y2K compliant. The below image is of the Regional Settings / Date format page in the Control Panel.

  The other section of the user account window is an optional extended information screen. It is accessed by clicking on the area on the lower-right section of the window marked Additional Info. After entering the information, go back to the User/Account Info page, and click the save button.  

Online Page

This screen is used to display all the users who are currently logged in. The Amount Due column will display any accrued charges if they apply. Keep in mind that Time Block (Non Auto-extended) and Date Block accounts do not accrue charges while being used, so the Amount Due will remain 0.0 for these accounts. Also, the Time Left column will display Time Block minutes remaining in the account being used is such.

This page also offers a force logoff feature. If you want to force a user to logoff, or a crash has occurred on a workstation and a posted user account is not really on-line anymore, you can select it and click the Logoff Selected User / Remove Selected User From Online List.While this will immediately remove the name form the list, it will take up to 30 seconds for the workstation software to force the user off line.

Receipts Page

The Receipts Page will show you the receipts information and each receipt's detail (if there is any) for each record in the database. The receipts windows is meant for fast reference of receipts. Standard reports can be acquired using the CyberTime reports program, and the standard version of Microsoft Access 97 can be used to edit the tables.

Employee Page

CyberTime 6.0 allows the Accounts Manager to allow employees to access and maintain user accounts. The employee account are used to maintain user accounts and can be configured with various properties for rights and features. They are not intended to be used on the Customer Monitors to employee time tracking. An employee account has the option of being configured to shut down the customer monitor.

The database control buttons along the top are identical in function to the buttons on the User Accounts page. It is important to note that ONLY the master user account can be used to change employee functions.

IMPORTANT! If there are currently NO employees entered with the employee database, you need to click the ADD button first to create a new record. You can not start entering data into the text boxes without a new record having been created.

To add a new Employee (even if there are no employees as yet entered), click the Add button. Fill in an employee user name and password and select the properties you want the account to have. Once you create or edit the account, click the Save button to store the account information. The account properties are as follows:

• Add / Change Accounts - The employee will be allowed to create new accounts.
• Delete Accounts- The employee will be permitted to delete existing user accounts.
• Customer Monitor Shutdown - If the Employee enters his or her employee account user name and password into the Customer Monitor's login screen, the Customer Monitor application will be shut down.
• Force Logoff Users From Accounts Manager - This means that the user will be able to use the force logoff option on the on-line page to force accounts in use to be forced to logoff.
• Allow employees to use POS retail sales application - This will allow employees to use the POS system to enter charges for items other than CyberTime time and printing charges.

Disclaimer Page

When a user logs on to a workstation, you have the option of forcing him or her to view a "disclaimer". This is an HTML file that appears after the the initial login has taken place, but the user will not be permitted access to the workstation until they click on the disclaimer screen to remove it. You can use this disclaimer to inform the user of any responsibilities or legal notifications you need the user to see. You could also use it to display any sales or pricing information you want the user to see. A default disclaimer has been included, but you can use any custom designed disclaimer you wish to create.

IMPORTANT! Disclaimer files must be stored in the server's C:\CT6\Server\Disclaimer folder.

IMPORTANT! The HTML code used for the disclaimer must utilize path entries that are local to the subfolder. When the Customer monitor runs, it will copy these files FROM the server TO the local workstation. Therefor, any explicit references to files or links OUTSIDE the storage folder on the server will result in incorrect display of the HTML file. (Example : A reference to a graphic, such as the one with the default disclaimer included with the package should appear as '<IMG SRC="graphic.gif">'. An incorrect reference, such as <IMG SRC="C:\MyDisclaimers\graphic.gif"> WILL NOT WORK.

To use the disclaimer, click the 'Select disclaimer and save" button. Select the HTML file of the disclaimer you want to use. Make sure that you remain in the C:\CT6\Server\Disclaimer folder. To enabled or disable the disclaimer, use the System Administrator application to configure this feature.

Applications Tracking Page

CyberTime has the ability to track the applications that are run on the workstations. However, since there can be a multitude of applications that run in the background of a standard windows session, CyberTime needs to know what specific applications you want to track. The Applications Tracking page is where you maintain the list of application that the Customer Monitor will look for.

To add a new application to the list, click the Add button (even if there are currently no items listed for tracking). At this point, you will need enter the executable filename in the Application's EXE File Name text box. Do not enter any drive or path information. All is needed is the actual executable file name.

IMPORTANT! If there are currently NO applications entered with the application tracking database, you need to click the ADD button first to create a new record. You can not start entering data into the text boxes without a new record having been created.

NOTE: Keep in mind that many applications load other applications, especially games. So if you want to track a game application, make sure you are tracking the actual game executable application and not a loader or support program.

After the EXE filename has been entered, enter a verbose description in the Application Description text box. This is what will appear when you perform various reports to show what applications were run and where. For example, if you are tracking Microsoft word, you would enter word.exe in the executable filename. But that is not a very meaningful description, so in the Application Description, you can enter 'Microsoft Word 6.0.' Simply click the save button to save the record.

With CyberTime 6, you now have the option of having the Customer Monitor attempt to shut down the application when the user logs off or runs out of time. This feature has proven very reliable with most desktop applications, however, certain applications (usually games), are designed for maximum system performance, and will ignore the windows message to shutdown. While this feature is a reliable function for most users desktop applications, it is not guaranteed that all the applications will be shut down when the user logs off. To select this option, place a check in the Attempt to shut this application down when user logs off or runs our of time? check box.

Also note that the applications will not automatically be tracked unless you have specified the Track Applications check box on a user account.

Utilities Page

The Utilities page has various maintenance features for keeping CyberTime 6.0 running smoothly. While this page at present only contains one function, more utility procedures are slated for later updates to CyberTime 6

Each function performs the following:

Delete all accounts with the criteria - This allows the user database to be purged of large quantities of accounts that have a common property. You have the ability to delete all accounts that are not active, have not been used since a specific date, etc. This allows the Accounts Manager to be more manageable for more rapid account access.

Workstation Menu Page (CyberTime 6 New Feature!)

CyberTime 6.0 now has the ability to further restrict what users can access on a workstation. By changing settings using the System Administrator application, you can set the system up so that the workstations do not show a task bar or even the Window's "Start" button, thus restricting user from being able to access powerful and potentially destructive system application and unwanted access to other applications. The Accounts Manager's Workstation Menu will allow you to specify what applications you want user to have access to. By enabling this feature (System Administrator), you can enter a series of entries that will appear as a menu on the user's workstation upon login. A double click on these items will then launch the application.

First, it is necessary to specify the applications you want to show the user as options when he or she logs in. To add an entry, click the Add button. As with application tracking, you need only to enter the name of the application's executable filename.

IMPORTANT! If there are currently NO applications entered with the workstation applications database, you need to click the ADD button first to create a new record. You can not start entering data into the text boxes without a new record having been created.

NOTE: The application (or at least the application's EXE launcher MUST be located on the local hard drive OR be accessible via a drive letter serving as a mapped drive. CyberTime 6 Customer Monitor searches the workstation on every available drive letter until it finds the application's EXE you specify. If the Customer Monitor can't find it, it won't be included in the menu.

Start by entering the applications executable filename in the Application Filename text box. NOTE that you need only enter the file's name. DO NOT include any path information. The Customer Monitor will search the workstation and find it if it's there. Next, enter the application's description. This is what will appear in the actual menu that the user sees. Make is a description of what the application is. The example below shows the record properties to the item of the Microsoft Notepad application, included with all Windows installs. You may delete this actual entry from the database.

With CyberTime 6, you now have the option of having the Customer Monitor attempt to shut down the application when the user logs off or runs out of time. This feature has proven very reliable with most desktop applications, however, certain applications (usually games), are designed for maximum system performance, and will ignore the windows message to shutdown. While this feature is a reliable function for most users desktop applications, it is not guaranteed that all the applications will be shut down when the user logs off. To select this option, place a check in the Attempt to shut this application down when user logs off or runs our of time? check box.

Click the Save button when done.

NOTE: The Customer Monitor will load these menu values when the CM (Customer Monitor) is first started. Thus, any entries made to this database must take place BEFORE the CM is run. Otherwise, it will have to be shut down and restarted.

Ads Page (CyberTime 6 New Feature!)

CyberTime 5.0 attempted to use a screen saver to run any advertisements or other announcements for the business when workstations were awaiting a login attempt. However, due to the fact that most screen savers that are customizable were actually small executable applications that ran in the background, CyberTime 5 for security reasons had to place them in the background. Thus, they would never or sporadically appear.

CyberTime 6 has replaced this system with a fully customizable HTML screens that will appeared on the workstations when a workstation is awaiting a login attempt. To setup your own ad files, create the HTML files and graphics and place them in the C:\CT6\Server\Ads subfolder.

IMPORTANT! ALL Ad files must be stored in the server's C:\CT6\Server\Ads folder.

IMPORTANT! The HTML code used for the ads must utilize path entries that are local to the subfolder. When the Customer Monitor runs, it will copy these files FROM the server TO the local workstation. Therefor, any explicit references to files or links OUTSIDE the storage folder on the server will result in incorrect display of the HTML file. (Example : A reference to a graphic, such as the one with the default ad included with the package should appear as '<IMG SRC="graphic.gif">'. An incorrect reference, such as <IMG SRC="C:\MyAds\graphic.gif"> WILL NOT WORK.

To add a new Ad item to the list, simply click the Add and save file button. Select from the C:\CT6\Server\Ads folder the HTML file you want to use. A preview of the file will appear in the browser window at the right of the list box to show which HTML file you have selected.

To delete a selected file from the list, simply select the Ad item you want to delete, and click the Delete button. NOTE: the Delete button DOES NOT remove the files from the C:\CT6\Server\Ads folder. It simply removes it from the list. Large amounts of unused files and graphics may cause unnecessary delays when launching the Customer Monitor, because the Customer Monitor will copy all the files from the server's Ads subfolder to its local system.

Account Templates (CyberTime 6 Enhanced Feature!)

CyberTime 5 had the ability to create a single account based on a previously saved account template. While this was a useful feature, CyberTime 6 increases the usefulness of this feature by adding the following items to the template account creating:

Accounts can be created for a single user, or many users, all in one procedure.

Accounts can be created (single or multiple) that have auto-generated user names and password.

Account templates can now be deleted and replaced with updated templates.

These features allow accounts to be created, in large quantities if necessary, with all that a user needs to access a workstation very rapidly. This procedure is very simple.

First, you will need to have a template from which to refer upon account creations. To do this, enter a normal account (including user names and password, etc.) as a model account. This will server as a reference from which to create the template. Once you have the account setup as an account you will want to create several times over, save it, just as you would a normal account.

Once you do, the Save As Template button will be enabled . Click it to begin the process of saving the account you just created as a template. Once you do, a dialog box will appear asking you what you want to call this template. Enter some descriptive text that will allow you to identify the template later.

Click the Save button, and that is all there is to it!

When you want to create an account or accounts from a template, simply click the Create Account(s) from Templates button. If it not enabled, then you must save or cancel the current account edit. The template creation button is only enabled if the accounts manager is currently not creating or editing a current account.

Once you click the creation button, you will be presented with a dialog button.

Select a template name from the drop down box that you want to use as a template for the accounts you are about to create. Next, you will prompted to enter the number of accounts you want to create. Select the arrow button and use the slide bar to determine the number of accounts you want to create.

NOTE: When you create accounts from templates, a printer must be present on the system so that the Accounts Manager can print out a list of accounts created that can be distributed to users for user names and passwords.

Next, click the Create button, and the accounts will automatically be generated. Its that simple!
