Wishlist: Don't Reenter Login Details After Creating Workstation

[Steven Mayo]

Wishlist as this is low frequency for users and like 5 seconds of time waste for developers.

3.12: When you log in to the staff client from a machine that has no registered workstation you're redirected to the workstation registration page. Then, once you've created and selected a workstation to use, you're returned to the login page where you have to enter your username and password again.

It would be nicer if you were instead sent to the splash screen after selecting a workstation. It should know my account and what workstation I'm using - this should be enough to login, as far as I know. You have to enter a valid login to get to the workstation registration page in the first place.
I don't want to enter information I already did 5 seconds ago.

For us, only our local administrators can register a workstation at their libraries so usually the account logging in to use the workstation isn't the same as the account that did the registration.

+1 to Jennifer, came here to say the same thing. We wouldn't want to user to be immediately logged in.

That makes a lot of sense. It seems my understanding of workflows for Evergreen still has room to grow.

Would it be a useful feature if there were two buttons when this happens, one for logging in to the splash screen labeled 'Log In' and another that does what the current Use Now button does (possibly renamed for clarity)? Or would that be too confusing/cluttering?
