1.2 About this Guide.
Target Audience.
The target audience for this guide is the relevant entities subject to the supervision and monitoring of the Central Bank of Jordan, which use this platform to verify, approve, or reject files. This platform can also be used to create and manage user accounts and configure their interfaces on the iFile platform.
What does this guide contain?
This guide outlines platform/system management procedures and also explains how to manage user accounts, manage data forms uploaded by the relevant entities/establishments, and handle general platform/system settings.
2. Logging into the Platform/System.
2.1 Login
The user logs into the platform/system using their personal credentials approved for access. For new users, the platform/system will send the approved login credentials via the email address designated by the new user. The image below shows the main page for the login process on the platform/system. Image: Login page on the Platform/System. To log in to the platform/system, follow these steps:

2.2 Automatic Session Logout/Session Expiration
The platform/system features an automatic logout upon session expiration. If a user logs in but performs no actions for more than 5 minutes (e.g., does not fill in information, save information, or navigate between pages), the system screen will automatically close, and a logout screen will appear when attempting any action after this time. The user will need to log in again to resume work. Before the session expires, a pop-up message will inform the user that the session will expire within 20 seconds. If a user closes the internet browser without logging out of the platform, they must wait for the specified session expiration time before they can log in to the platform again.
2.3 Forgot Password?
Login Screen > Forgot Password?
If a user forgets their password on the platform/system, they can reset it after the platform verifies the details entered during the initial login.
