Changing Your Password

You may want to change your password occasionally for security reasons.

• To change your password:

1. Go to the Administrative menu in the top menu bar of the Spectrum page and select My Settings.

2. On the User Details page, type your new password in the New Password box and then retype it in the box below.

3. If your system administrator has set password length or complexity requirements, there will be a reminder beside the New Password box.  If the password you select does not meet the requirements, you will be notified and must choose a conforming password.

4. Click Save.

Automatic Logouts

If you see the message "Session is invalid or has timed out," or "In an effort to maintain security, the system has automatically logged you off," too much time has elapsed without activity and you have been automatically logged out.  To resume using Spectrum, you will need to log in again. The timeout period is by default 30 minutes, but the system administrator can change this default by editing the DataServer.exe.config file in \ScanScope\DataServer and changing the AuthCacheTimeout value. This value is in number of minutes. After changing this value, you must restart the DataServer.

Additional User Settings

Other settings on this page include:

• Enable Auto-View Images – Selecting this check box tells Spectrum to automatically open images in a viewer (such as ImageScope) for the data you are opening.

• Spectrum Start Page – Choose which Spectrum page you see when you log into Spectrum.

• Data Group for Scanning – Choose which data group digital images will go into when you scan slides. (This only applies if you are a ScanScope operator.)

• Clinical Viewing Mode – Selecting this check box tells Spectrum you want to use a streamlined subset of ImageScope or WebScope tools that relate to clinical workflow, hiding general-purpose tools from the ImageScope and WebScope toolbar that are not useful in a clinical setting.
