Advanced Options

Automatically start QwickACCESS when a user logs in

This option will automatically start QwickACCESS (QA) when a user logs in. If your environment contains workstations that use generic automatic log-in when started (or re-booted) this is an advisable option.

Auto-start is enabled by default.

Allow "Alt-Q" hot-key for QwickACCESS shutdown

The "Alt-Q" function shuts down the entire QwickACCESS application. This feature can only be enabled if the "Tap your badge here" screen is enabled.

Allow "Alt-Q" is enabled by default.

Allow QwickACCESS to Start without a prox reader

Select this option to allow QwickACCESS to start without a proximity badge reader plugged in. If this option is checked the "Tap your badge screen" will not be displayed instead a manual log-on screen will be displayed. When this option is enabled closing the manual log-on screen will stop the entire application.

Allow QwickACCESS to Start without a prox reader is disabled by default.

User interface

Show the Tap your badge to begin screen

This is the default user interface welcome screen a user interacts with on a QwickACCESS workstation (see screen shot below).

This screen is turned on by default and may be turned off if preferred.
