FIGURE 1-8User Name Displayed on the Webtop Toolbar

If the toolbar says you are logged in as “Guest user” then you either logged in without typing a user name and password, known as an anonymous login, or you are using a webtop that is shared with other users.

These details also display on the webtop when you first log in.

Secure Connection Status

If you have a secure connection, the locked padlock symbol is displayed below the webtop menu bar. Also, when you first log in, the page that is displayed on the webtop tells you whether you have a secure or a standard connection.

Secure connections to SGD are available only if an SGD Administrator has enabled them.

You might not automatically receive a secure connection, or you might only get a secure connection under certain circumstances. Contact your SGD Administrator if you do not get a secure connection when you need one.

Using Applications

Use the Applications area of the webtop to start, stop, and manage your applications.

Running Applications

To start an application, you click its link on your webtop, as shown in FIGURE 1-9. In a few moments the application is shown, ready for you to use.
