Setting the device to automatically lock
If enabled by your System Admin, you can set a device time-out to automatically lock your
device after a specified period of inactivity. This will help prevent others from accessing your
secure files.
1. Unlock your device and click the "Settings" button in the menu bar.
2. Click the "Preferences" button in the left sidebar.
3. Click the checkbox for auto-locking the device and set the time-out for either 5, 15, 30, 60,
120, or 180 minutes.
If a secure file has been opened, it may not be safe to lock the device; otherwise, you may lose
the file changes or corrupt the file. The device will continue to try to lock in this situation, but
will not force the application to quit. You can configure the setting to force the device to lock;
however, you risk losing data in any opened and modified files.
IMPORTANT:
Forcing a device to lock can result in data loss. If your files have become
corrupt from a forced lock procedure or from unplugging the device before locking, you might
be able to recover the files by running CHKDSK and using data recovery software.
To run CHKDSK (Windows only)
1. Unlock the device.
2. Use the following keyboard shortcut to bring up the "Run" prompt:
WINDOWS LOGO BUTTON + R.
3. Type "CMD" and press ENTER.
4. From the command prompt, type CHKDSK, the Secure files drive letter,
and then "/F /R".
For example, if the Secure Files drive letter is G, you would enter:
•
CHKDSK G: /F /R
5. Use data recovery software if necessary in order to recover your files.
