Once QB has been installed and licenced correctly, A screen similar to the following should then be displayed (please note the system name may differ) :
The first time QB is accessed, it automatically creates a user super with the password super. This user has an access level to allow access to all menu options. The main menu screen will then be displayed :

Please note : |
With the exception of the super user, a system setting controls whether a user can log in more than once. |

Once QB is up and running and users start to create, amend and run queries, reports etc, an audit trail is kept of which ones have been run and when. Within the Query System Maintenance option (described later), an option exists which determines whether QB shows the welcome page (as above) or a list of the objects that the user has accessed and/or amended so that they can run/amend them quickly :
If the super user is logged in, a selection box is displayed to the top right allowing the display to switch between the last X items for the user or the last X items across all users.
If a user has been set up with a start menu, this is automatically displayed instead of the previous list and the start menu is displayed at the left of the screen above the available options :
Multiple repositories may be accessed via the same implementation of QB if required. To do this, a parameter may be added to the logon page URL to point to a different XML configuration file within the xml_config subdirectory within QB :
http://qbserver/qb/logon.php?config_file=myconfig.xml
This configuration file can then be a copy of the original qb.xml file but with the system name and path to the repository database altered as required. Once logged in, QB will then use the new repository unless the browser is closed or the user logs out of QB.
The look & feel of QB is controlled by the file default.css within the css subdirectory. However, this file can be copied and modified if required so that different groups of users can have their own look & feel. The new css file can then be specified on the logon page URL :
http://qbserver/qb/logon.php?config_file=myconfig.xml&config_css=myfile.css
