81.1 This displays the Utility --►Set Up --►Security --►Login Users <User Number> of the user active (with an operator logged on) when the task was completed.

 

81.2 If a task is completed by automation, Intellect reads the Utility --►Set Up --►Clinic <Administrator Password> to determine the user number (this number is coded by our staff).
