T24 Navigation

 

The Browser is the latest front end to Temenos T24. It is a light client as we use a common browser link Internet Explorer to log on to Temenos T24. There is therefore no need for installation of special software in the client systems. This is unlike the other front end from Temenos, called the DeskTop, which needs to be installed on each of the client machine.



T24 Sign In Screen



DeskTop is interactive through out displaying field level enrichments even before validation. DeskTop can be used to run interactive T24 routines / programmes (like TSA Service) Classic can be used for running COB operations.

For logging on to Temenos T24 one needs to  type only  the appropriate URL in the address bar of the Internet explorer or Netscape Navigators. This takes one to the Temenos T24 Sign On screen.

The URL might differ from one installation to another. Once the correct URL is typed in the address bar, the T24 sign on screen will appear where Sign on name and password have to be specified .

On successfully signing into Temenos T24 one will be taken to this screen. While the above representation is the standard colour scheme and template (skin) of Temenos, it is possible to choose different skins.

The various parts of this screen are described and discussed in the following pages.

To log off the system, one needs to click on the button with a “ Sign Off “ as shown in the screen shot above.This screen displayed, prepares the system to determine which Server address it should locate and which account of Temenos T24 it should log on to. (If multiple Temenos T24 Database accounts exist). You would now enter  the Server Login Name, and Password that is supplied by the IT or Security Administration department. Note that the password will be encrypted and that these settings will be case sensitive. One important box that you may wish to use is the “Remember Password” checkbox.

This Login can be automated using a script and activated in the start up procedure, i.e. when the Temenos T24 Launch Icon is clicked. Once Temenos T24 DeskTop has been successfully connected to the Server, the  Temenos T24 Sign On screen is displayed.

Enter your name and the appropriate password in the relevant fields. The Sign On Name is located in the “User” profile within Temenos T24.

Note - BOTH the User name and password have been encrypted, and are displayed as a line of asterisks.

Once you have signed in Temenos T24 will analyse your User name and password and allocate the correct Menus, Applications, and User details/permissions linked to your specific profile.

To sign off from Temenos T24 and the Server click on the File option on the Main Menu bar, or select the Exit and Log Off Option. Alternatively click on the button marked ‘Sign Off’ in the top right hand corner of the main Temenos T24 window. This will then display the Temenos T24 message asking - “Do you really want to exit Temenos T24?” Click on the “Yes” button and you will be logged out.

It is important that each User signs out correctly. Temenos T24 DeskTop sits on top of the jBase/ database. If you do not sign out correctly the database will assume that your session is still running.

A problem may occur when you need to look at Temenos T24 again. If you cannot access Temenos T24 and a message will be displayed stating that you are already logged on.  You will need to get your System Administrator to reset your profile as Temenos T24 Security only allows a User to be signed on once.

The name of the user, currently logged in appears in the top left hand corner of the screen. In the line following that various details like when the user last signed on and the number of unsuccessful attempts (using incorrect password) is also shown. The next line has a  tool bar with several buttons. This is followed by a “Command Line”

T24 Browser provides a set of tools to make easy some of the common administrative tasks that users perform. Change Password option allows the currently signed on user  to change his/ her password. Once you enter necessary values, choose GO. If the password change is successful, the text “Password changed successfully” is displayed. The change will take effect on subsequent logon.

My Companies option allows the user to move move / change from one company to another. In T24, normally each branch of a Bank is referred to as a company.TheUser will bepermitted to change to other companies based on the Security Management Setup (SMS)
