Proxy

The proxy section should contain your proxy details. For most schools, entering "DEFAULT" into the "Host" field will work, meaning the other three fields can be left blank. If this does not work, you will need to enter the correct proxy details for your school.

Once the details have been entered, click the "Save" button at the top right of the page, a message box will appear confirming "Your settings have been saved", and the page will now refresh. Please scroll back to the proxy section and then click the "Test" link. Cura will attempt to communicate with www.google.co.uk and www.tascsoftware.co.uk and will then inform you of the results. If both connections are successful, your proxy is set up correctly and will look like the image below.

The user has the option to either extend the session or log out.

If the screen remains inactive then the Cura software assumes the user is not available and the session closes back to the log in screen (with the time that was set in minutes Session timeout in minutes).

Lock new concerns to clearance level

The admin user can force all the new concerns entered into cura to be locked to a certain clearance level. This setting is used if the establishment requires all concerns entered to be kept at a certain clearance level. In this example the setting is configured for level 5 meaning only individuals that have level 5 clearance can view the information. To turn this setting off please enter level 0.
