Overview
MCL Operator Login is the compatible login app for non-speech applications (for target devices that do NOT have speech features).
The operator can use the keyboard (SW or HW) to enter his Login ID or read the barcode that represents it (if the target device includes a barcode scanner).
The following step-by-steps illustrate the use of this login application in a TC55 Android device.
To Log in to MCL Operator Login
Step-by-step
1. Open App Desktop.
2. Press 
.
3. Use one of the following to enter the login ID:
a. Enter the login ID in the keyboard (use the HW or SW keyboard) and press 
.
b. Use the device's scanner and read the barcode that represents your login ID (if available for the target device).
The operator can use the information defined in the "Login ID" or the "External Reference" fields (in the "Operator Details" page) in the login application's "User" box.
The use of a password is optional. If a password is set in the operator's profile ("Operator Details" page - "Access Rights" tab), the operator must enter it in the "Password" box. If there is no defined password, the operator will simply enter his/her login ID and confirm it with the button.
If you get an error message, check Possible Login Errors.
If the operator logging in to a device connected to the MCL-Mobility Platform account introduces an invalid password 10 times in a row, his status changes to "LOCKED" (
). To change the operator's status back to "Enabled" see To Change an Operator Profile's Status.
The operator is, now, logged in and with access to the intended application(s).
To launch an application, the operator must press the corresponding application shortcut icon (Manual Launch).
If App Desktop is only intended to contain one application, you can define an Automatic App Desktop Launch - once the operator logs in, the application is launched. This requires a specific setting within that application - during project development, define "application code = mcl" in the project's properties (Project menu > Properties option > Application Info tab > App. Code option).
App Desktop View after Operator Log In
•The operator login icon (on the upper left corner) has changed to 
.
•The device name (on the upper left corner) has been replaced with the logged in operator's short name (information entered in the operator's "Operator Details" page - "Short Name" field).
•App Desktop displays the application(s) available to the logged in operator.
The viewing of the applications in App Desktop is managed via the logged in operator's operator group. In other words, you can define which applications should be available for the operators of a specific operator group (in the "Operator Group Details" page - "Access Rights" tab). If no restriction is defined, all applications are available.
To Log Out in the MCL Operator Login Application
Auto-Logout - There is an automatic log out from the login app if the logged in operator is idle for more than 55 minutes minutes in the App Desktop environment. App Desktop is still open but the operator will have to log in again.
The Auto-Logout is only triggered within the App Desktop environment. Once the operator is working in an application, the Auto-Logout time out does NOT execute regardless of any idle periods.
Manual Log Out - The logged in operator can perform a manual log out via the login app's GUI whenever he chooses to do so. Proceed as follows to do so:
Step-by-step
1. Exit the application you were working with to return to App Desktop.
2. Press .
3. Press 
.
The operator has successfully logged out. Therefore, the App Desktop view has changed:
•The icon on the upper left corner has changed back to .
•There are no application shortcuts available.
•The short name of the operator has been replaced with the device name.
