Overview

Any settings that affect RDPWin not included in any particular area of the system are available on this screen. These settings are by user (i.e., preferences per logged in user).

Confirm RDPWin Exit: Unchecked by default, check to require the system to warn with "Are you sure you want to exit RDPWin?" before closing RDPWin. The default setting for this switch is "No". Anyone prone to clicking the icon may wish to check this box to avoid closing RDPWin by mistake.
Display Tax Payer ID Security Level (R3 or RZ Modules Required): Select the access level required to view the Tax Payer ID/Social Security Number field for owner masters. Users with a power level equal to or higher than this setting are allowed to view the unmasked information. The default setting is 999: the highest security level possible in RDPWin. Changing this setting is only allowed for the user with maximum access in the system (usually just one person, but can be one or more).

System Encryption

The date and time of the last encryption is displayed. In RDPWin Version 3, credit card account numbers and user information are secured using an advanced encryption algorithm. The data is encrypted using a key which is passed to the Pervasive database engine each time the sensitive data is accessed. Click "Encrypt with New Key" to manually create a new key.

A warning is displayed and required confirmation prior to starting the process.
