    8. ACCESS Users The function Users lets you access the window by which you can enter users and privileges for the software Datix Suite.

    You can create two types of users: internal users (hereinafter also referred to as "User") and external users (hereinafter also referred to as "Visitors") Users (internal users) are those who, playing an active role in your organization (eg employees, supervisors, ...), must have access to one or more features of the software (customers and branch offices management, devices and tags management, guard tours scheduling, etc ...). Visitors (external users) are those who are granted access to Customer report only. Some examples of visitors: customers of guard companies (who are given the opportunity to view their reports on the web), customers of cleaning / homecare companies, etc... The permissions of each user (internal user) depend on his access level. Therefore, before creating internal users it is necessary to define access levels and privileges.

The Administrator user has access to all functions of the software. To enter a new access level select the folder Access level and click Add

    Users belonging to this access level can view customers details only. They cannot add new customers and they cannot edit/delete existing customers. Furthermore users cannot manage devices and tags.

    Users belonging to this access level have full control of customers, devices and tags.

    Once the privileges have been defined click Save. Further tabs now appear. By these tabs you can define the customers, the branch offices, the devices, the operators, the guard tours and the service orders to whom or which the users belonging to the access level may have access. Each tab has got 2 sections, right and left. To give access to an object move it from right to left by the appropriate arrow. Once the access levels have been set you can create internal users.

    9. DATABASE Device and tag The function Device and tag lets you access the window by which you can catalogue Datix devices and tags in the database according to their intended use/application. This is valid either for Guard tour or Time/Attendance. Once devices and tags have been catalogued they are ready to be assigned to Customers, Offices, Operators or Events/Activities (see function Master records). So, click Device and tag to open the following window

    In order to catalogue a new device, select the folder Device, choose the model and click New device. On the right side of the previous window, according to the selected device, information required for its cataloguing are shown

    Datix X-Term Datix NaNo Once you have entered all the data click Save. Data like S/N, Code, can be entered either manually or automatically (by downloading the information from the memory of the device).

The information relative to this area appear only when the device catalogued in this window is associated with Customers, Offices, Operators or Events/Activities (see function Master records). In order to display the catalogued devices and their information scroll Device list as shown in the following window

    Select the device. On the right side of the window the relative information will appear (including associated Customer/Office/Operator, if any). If you want to apply a filter to the visualization of the devices use the function Show

  • 24

    Once you have entered all the data click Save. If you catalogue a magnetic tag check Magnetic tag and fill in the field SAVV code. If you catalogue a RFID tag do not check Magnetic field and enter SAVV code or Standard code (10 chars). Sometimes, for security reasons, the RFID tags are delivered without any written information about their code. We have therefore developed a specific automatic procedure in order to store tags code in the database. The same procedure can be used also with magnetic tags.

    1. Clear the memory of your device before starting the procedure 2. Place the tags on your desk according to a specific order and do not move them until you

    have completed the operation (you can also use the Tag installation sheet in Appendix B and stick the tags with their description)

    3. Read the tags with the device (we suggest max. 10/15 tags per time) 4. Activate the communication with the device and click Get in the above window. A new

    window appears with the list of the codes of the tags read by the device. The first code on top is the code of the first tag read by the device. In order to enter this code in the database double click it. Now the code appears in SAVV code and Standard code fields. Then add the Description and click Save. In order to catalogue further tags click again Get and follow the same procedure. The tags already catalogued will disappear from the list. They will appear among the tags available for future assignments/associations (see Master records)

    When you catalogue a new tag the Assignments area is empty. The information relative to this area appear only when the tag catalogued in this window is assigned to Customers, Offices, Operators or Events/Activities (see function Master records). In order to display the catalogued tags and their information scroll the Tag list as shown in the following window

    Select the tag. On the right side of the window the relative information will appear (including associated Customer/Office/Operator, if any). If you want to apply a filter to the visualization of the tags use Sort and Show
