Quick Tip: Bypassing the User ID Prompt

November 2016    Tags: Users

Did you know that you can specify the User ID as a startup option for Tabs3 software? Once implemented, when double-clicking your desktop shortcut, the User ID will already be filled in, leaving only the password to be entered.

• Right-click the desktop icon used to start Tabs3 and select Properties.
• From the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
• The startup option can be entered following the program file name in the Target field. An example of the Target field when using the User ID startup option is:

  “C:\Program Files\Tabs3\TABS.EXE” ALICE

• Click OK.

For a list of other startup options available, open the desired Tabs3 program (e.g., Tabs3 Billing, PracticeMaster, etc.) and enter “Startup Options” on the Index tab.
