Using NIS
Each user of NIS logs into the server using his own name and password. Once logged in, the user enters into the their 'Work View'. From here users can view the current Jobs and Task that he is working on. At the top of this view are buttons which links to the different areas of the NIS system that the user has access to. These are:

The Work View
From here the user can see the Tasks and Jobs that he is participating in. Also he can review their progress and add comments for other users to read. From the Task the user can also read, write or lock documents which are to be shared with other Task users.

If the user has the right access privileges he can also use this section to Create new Jobs and Tasks, change the status of Jobs and Tasks or terminate Jobs that have completed.

The Scratch Pad
This the private storage area for the user. Here the user stores documents that he is currently working on but does not want to share with other users.

The Search View
This area is used to search the database for archived documents.

In Box and Form Message
Here the user can receive and send messages to other users in the system. For additional flexibility, messages can also have documents attached to them.

Log Out
Once the user finishes working with NIS he presses this button to log out of the system.
