Overview

Users that are added to the ODI User group will show up as a selectable user on the ODI Screen when pressing the User button.  If users are not a part of the ODI Users group then they will not show in the list of users on the ODI screen.  If there are not any users that are members of the ODI group, then all users will be selectable from within the Operator Data Interface Screen.

Manual Login

To start a user manually first select the associated equipment from the bottom left, then use the top left side of the screen and select the User button.  Once that is pressed, a list of users will be displayed.  Select the user you would like to start and click Start New Status.  The current user is displayed within the information pane of the ODI screen.

The following expressions must be assigned in to the equipment in order for the manual login to function.  If the user is operating multiple machines then the user will need to login to each machine.

Expression to manually start users

([Listener.data] = [PCSDB.UI_user_start] {dx_user})

Result

[PCSDB.send_user_start] {[Listener.data]{dx_user}}

Expression to manually End users

([Listener.data] = [PCSDB.UI_user_end] {dx_user})

Result

[PCSDB.send_user_end] {[Listener.data]{dx_user}}

Auto Login

The auto login functionality will automatically login the user that is logged into the ODI screen to all of the equipment assigned to the ODI screen.

The following expressions must be assigned in to the equipment in order for auto login to function.  If there are multiple machines assigned to the ODI screen the user will automatically be logged into each machine.

Expression to Auto log in User

([Listener.data] = [PCSDB.UI_user_start] {logged_in_user})

Result

[PCSDB.send_user_start] {[Listener.data]{logged_in_user}}

Expression to Auto log out User

([Listener.data] = [PCSDB.UI_user_end] {logged_in_user})

Result

[PCSDB.send_user_end] {[Listener.data]{logged_in_user}}

Tracking Users with the Operator Data Interface Screen

The Operator Data Interface provides the ability to track which users are activity working on equipment.  The data can be used when running reports to filter what statues and activities happened while a user was active.

Expressions must be assigned to track users from the ODI screen.  There are two different ways to start and stop a user record depending on the expressions that have been assigned.  Users can login manually using the buttons on the ODI Screen.  The second method is to have the users automatically logged in when logging into the ODI application.
