​​Logging Off

AQS can be closed (and logged off) by clicking on either the usual window close button (the red X on the top right for windows users) or the Exit icon.  The user may be asked whether to commit/save changes or exit.  The user should answer appropriately.

The user may also exit AQS by closing the browser window that AQS is running in, however it should be noted that this closes AQS without it prompting if the user would like to save any changes.
