Except for the C & DH dataset, you must be on a Team in order to access payload data. This is discussed in the PDL User's Guide - Document Number D683-35473 , Section 6. To be added to a payload team, please call the PDL Helpdesk (256-961-1265) or contact the Team Manager.

Getting Started

The PDL User's Guide - Document Number D683-35473 is available through the EDMS system and it can help you better understand how to operate the PDL application. Before you can access the PDL User's Guide you must obtain an EDMS account.

When you start the application, PDL will automatically download a new version of the Oracle JInitiator to your machine. If you are asked by your system, please accept the installation.

User Names and Passwords

If you have not logged in to PDL since the move to the new web page, there are some changes. Your PDL user name is the same, but you should call the PDL Help Desk to be issued a temporary password. As you enter the new PDL, you will be prompted to change that password. NOTE: User names and passwords are now both case sensitive. Your password must contain a number and should include both uppercase and lowercase characters.

Browser Configuration

If you are unable to start the PDL application, please disable any pop-up blockers you may have running on your machine. Check your browser Security settings (Custom) to be sure you can run ActiveX applications and plug-ins.

Notes for Mac Users

In order to run the PDL Web Client on your Macintosh, you must use a Safari browser. Internet Explorer for the Macintosh is not supported at this time.

The Safari browser will ask you to accept a certificate from Marshall the first time you connect to PDL each day. Please accept the certificate. If you CANCEL the certificate, you will be unable to print reports until you close the browser, restart and accept the certificate.
