Security of private
student information is always a primary concern of a martial
art school. Since personal information about students is
stored in TaskMaster, it has many security features that
help protect this data from viewing by unauthorized people.
Data is password protected
All user data is stored in a password
protected UserData file that may only be opened by the copy
of TaskMaster that created the file. Although the UserData
file is password protected, a licensed owner is provided
with the password, which permits the file to be opened,
viewed, and accessed by any software application that can
access a Microsoft Access database.
Password required
An owner-assigned password is required to
open TaskMaster. Owner may set the level of access for each
password; for example, one user may only view data while
another user may also edit data. A special password may be
set up that allows a person to look around inside
TaskMaster, but it prevents any additions, deletions, edits,
or printing. Owner may check a log to see who has been
logging-in and for how long.
Critical task protection
Entry into critical
areas, such as initial setup and system parameters, requires
the separate entry of the owner password or a system
password.
Intrusion alert
An attempted intrusion occurs when someone
enters the incorrect password 3 times when a password is
required. When an intrusion occurs, it will be logged into
an intrusion log and an intrusion alert button will appear
on the control panel until cleared by the owner. Owner may
click this button to view and clear the intrusion log.
Standby Mode
TaskMaster may be easily placed into a
standby mode so it may not be used until a password is
entered again.
Automatic backups
A backup of the UserData file will be made
each time TaskMaster closes. If TaskMaster is not closed, a
backup will be made every day at a time set by the owner. A
backup may be made at any time by any user; however,
UserData file may only be restored by the owner. Up to ten
backups are retained. User data file may be copied to an
external hard drive, a memory stick, a network, a school web
site, or an online storage website or it may be emailed;
however, the file may only be opened by the copy of
TaskMaster that created it or by a copy of that original
TaskMaster copy.
