Logging In, Out, and Connectivity
Summary: Logging In
Logging In
- Open your browser and navigate to Runcible.com.
- Enter your login and password, then press “Login”.
- Runcible will display your default workspace. Note: You can select your default workspace from the Workspace Menu. See Default Workspaces (UNDONE) to learn how.
Logging Out
- Open the Main Menu by pressing [=] if it is closed.
- On the Quick Menu, press Logout [ICON]
Runcible will record your logout in the user log.
- Tip:Logging out will end your Session State, end your Websocket Connection, and end your Login Status by canceling your cookies and your tokens.
Runcible will display the Runcible Home page.
Connectivity: Timeouts, Disconnections and Tokens
Inactivity: Runcible may automatically log you out after inactivity. This is partly a security measure, and partly to reduce costs of maintaining unused connections.
Websockets (Advanced): Runcible keeps a list of everything on your workspace, and then uses Websocket technology to maintain a constant connection between your browser and the server. If anyone else changes data that’s displayed on your Workspace, the servers update your workspace automatically. However, this connection can break if you have a poor internet connection. If the connection is lost, Runcible will turn the (?) icon red. The Runcible will try to restore the connection if its lost. If not you will need to refresh your browser to restore it.
Tokens (Advanced)- Every time your browser requests something from Runcible, it receives a new Token. Runcible tries to make sure it doesn’t get confused if you stop it in the middle of something - but it’s possible. If so it will try to recover. If it gets really confused it will ask you to refresh your browser.
Updates (Advanced): When we update the software it stops the queues that manage updating your workspace, and they will often go out of sync.
Note: In the future we will add a notification to the System Status Panel that asks you to refresh your browser if we update the software.
