How to Login Facets?

Facets login means you are going to connect to some SQL Server. It depends on user's role in the company. Security system is very very strong. So, unauthorized user can never ever login to Facets application.
Generally, you will see Facets icon on your desktop. Most of the time , Facets is housed in Virtual Desktop. Double click on the Facets icon on your desktop, it will direct you what to do next. Let us suppose we want to login "Facets Medical Claims Processing + ITS" application in Testing Environment. Here Testing Environment means front end facets will be connected with"testing environment Server Name_SIT_facets.pzb".
When users will work in Facets in this environment, all data will come from this database and if user saves any data , the data will be stored in this database. When users process a claim and save it by pressing F4 button, facets will generate a claim ID automatically and claim id will be stored in this database. Later on, anybody can open that claim and review.
Sometimes, your company will give you user name and password to login facets as per your role in the company.
For Back End login, you must have access to the company's database. It varies company to company. Actually, for back end login, you will login to some version of SQL server. Facets is housed in SQL Server. If company grants you access to their database, you can access to database without any user name and password. Some company may give you user name and password to access their database.
