Display Login Screen Upon Error

Overview

When a time reporter encounters an error on a client terminal (for example, when the wrong input is entered), an error is displayed and the user is returned to the previous prompt screen. When the Display Login Screen Upon Error feature is enabled, however, the application will display the LOGIN screen after the error message has been displayed.
