Navigation:  Managing a Site > Site Dashboard

 

Overview

 

The Site Dashboard can be accessed by the Account Administrator and the Site Manager but it is, mostly, the Site Manager's working area, meaning, where he manages applications, operator profiles, deployments, etc. of the site he is assigned to.

 

 

The following image displays the initial view of a Site, when accessed by the Site Manager. It consists of a header, a footer and the Site Dashboard which includes several sections dedicated to a site's administrative and operational tasks.

 

 

The Site User can also have access to the Site Dashboard and all its sections/information. The only exception is the "System" module (within the "Control Panel" section) which includes the "Site Users", "Files" and "Site Details" sub-modules. Depending on the site user's access rights, he will have access, or not, to the remaining modules: "Applications", "Devices", "Operators" and "Services".

 

 

Header

 

The header displays information regarding the account and the site itself:

•The company's logo (optional).

•The name of the site as a breadcrumb.

•The current date of site access.

•The current time in the site's location.

•The current default Pin Code to be used within the App Desktop environment (to access locked options) and to open a remote control session (see To Open a Remote Control Session). This Pin Code information does NOT apply if you have a customized Pin Code.

•A "Welcome Box" where you can log out and view/edit personal details in your profile (see Managing your Profile).
