Managing a Site > External Systems > Development Stations

Overview

The "Development Station Management" module of the "Control Panel" is used, specifically, to manage MCL-Designer V4 subscriptions (a license type). This module allows you to add, edit and/or delete your MCL-Designer V4 licenses.

MCL-Designer V4 is a software development tool that allows you to create applications to be used on devices. MCL-Designer V4 can be integrated into MCL-Mobility Platform, via a subscription (a license that is active during a specific time period) that is associated to a specific MCL-Designer product. For more information, see Adding a Development Station.

Buttons that filter the development station display according to their "enabled" and/or "disabled" status.

Status Icon List

There are two columns (to the left of the "Development Station Name" column) which provide status information on the corresponding development station via specific icons.

Icon	Description
	= status “Enabled” - the development station is active.
	= status “Disabled” - the development station is inactive but will still check for status changes. It simply will not perform any tasks.
	= status "Paired" - the development station is associated to an MCL-Designer subscription.
	= status "Unpaired" - the development station is NOT associated to any MCL-Designer subscription.

Tools/Buttons

•Use the search box to look for a specific item.

• Downloads a list with the development stations in view.

The development stations list is downloaded in an Excel file format.

Since the list only includes the information on display, make sure the page is listing the intended development stations before the download.

You can use the available filters to display the listing you need.

• Opens a pop-up window where you can check/uncheck the columns of the table with the development stations you want shown/hidden.

• Clears any filters you may have set up for this page.

• Refreshes the information on the current page.
