O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L Introduction Introduction H ere you, the reader, are considered to be a User. Viewing the figure below, observe how the User fits into the OnlineSupervisor distributed system through a browser environment. The User may view incoming RFID event data in real time, known as Live-Event. The RFID event data is also stored in databases.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L 1 Chapter Logging onto and out of OnlineSupervisor OnlineSupervisor is used exclusively in a browser environment, and so usual browser navigation rules apply. I t is assumed that the you, the User, have entered a proper IP address into the browser so that the OnlineSupervisor login page is presented as in figure 1.1.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R L O G I N U S E R ’ S M A N U A L E R R O R n After “clicking the LOGIN button, if there is an error message as in Figure 1.3, click on the “OK” button. This action should bring up the Login Page (Figure 1.1) Re-enter your User Login information, or check with your administrator that your User Login information is correct. Figure 1.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L Figure 1.5 The Fictional AXCESS Hospital Facility. With respect to the Hospital site map, suppose that there are various Axcess tags, activators, readers, and cameras located throughout the facility. Some tags may be attached to assets and equipment that is not supposed to move. Other tags may be attached to people or assets that are expected to move throughout the facility. We are immediately faced with a problem.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R ’ S U S E R M A N U A L 2 Chapter The Home Submenu The coining of the term “The Information Super Highway” also yielded some words to describe parts of a User’s browser. This context might help us better interpret terms like “dashboard” or “gauges”. The Dashboard and its configuration When first successfully logging onto OnlineSupervisor (OLS), you may have seen something like figure 2.1 below. The Home menu is the initial menu that appears when first logging into OLS.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L Figure 2.2 Initial Configure Dashboard submenu Follow the three steps below to add a gauge to the OLS Dashboard. A D D A G A U G E n After clicking the button, observe the dropdown box of gauge selections in figure 2.3. o Choose the “LiveEvent” gauge by highlighting it. Figure 2.3 Gauge choice drop-down box p Click the “Next” button to confirm your choice, as in figure 2.4 Figure 2.4 Live-Event gauge about to be confirmed.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L Figure 2.5 Edit box at “0”in the Edit Live-Event Gauge In the edit box we see a zero. The range of the edit box is 0 through 20. Enter a number within the range and click the button. After clicking the “Save” button, as in figure 2.5, the Configure Dashboard submenu should now exhibit the gauge name of “LiveEvent”. Note, if we now clicked the “Add New” button, in figure 2.6, the drop-down menu that we saw in figure 2.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L and stored into a relational database, and then posted to the Live -Event viewer. We are now in a position to investigate different types of RFID events. We will be able to view events in near real time, or use the stored events’ information via the relational database. Below in figure 2.9 is the Live-Event gauge with its controls and two events. Figure 2.9 Live-Event Gauge, with two RFID events.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L “at”.“1stFloorNorthEast” is the zone where the RFID event occurred. “FirstFloorNorthEastReader5” is the name of an Axcess device, in this case an Axcess reader, where tag 12300116 was read. Recall the Popup of figure 2.10 and the Popup dropdown box with its default setting of “Details”. Clicking on the Popup will allow us to get detailed information with respect to the corresponding event.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L Figure 2.12 Zone location detail information. With regard to figure 2.9, if we change the Popup dropdown box to “Location”, and click on the Popup as in figure 2.10 we would see figure 2.12 With regard to figure 2.9, if we change the Popup dropdown box to “History”, and click on the Popup as in figure 2.10 we would see a history of the triggered panic tag, figure 2.13, as it moves through the facility and is read by the AXCESS readers.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L We see “Alert Event” and “Normal Event” as the two broad categories of events. Checking the check boxes of the events of interest and clicking the “OK” button will allow OLS to display only the desired events in the Live-Event viewer. Changing the filter drop box to will cause the Live-Event viewer to display only alert events. This completes the Live-Event gauge. Figure 2.14The RFID Event Types Let’s add a zone oriented gauge to the dashboard.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L The Configure Dashboard submenu should look something like figure 2.16. Clicking on the blue arrows will manipulate the gauge’s positions with respect to one another when the gauges are viewed in the Dashboard. Figure 2.17 exhibits the three gauges added to the dashboard. Note the Popups to the left of the gauges. Figure 2.16 Three gauges added and configured. Figure 2.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L 3 Chapter The Activity Submenu Features in the Activity submenu combine RFID events in the database into useful information. An Activity may also be defined with the inclusion of some soft logic. Browser rules for navigation still apply. Figure 3.1 is the “Activity Submenu”. Device-Events’ is the initial page opened, after having clicked the “Activity” tab. We’ve seen Live-Events before. Figure 3.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L Figure 3.4 Event Details for event 11104123 Figure 3.4 shows more information for event number 11104123. Note that the zone, location, tag number, description, and picture of the asset “Temp Monitor 1” were configured and associated in the database by your administrator. For whatever reason, tag 12300133 was read by an Axcess reader, and the event number and time stamp were associated with the tag of the temperature monitor.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L The Notifications page Notification events occur when Onlinesupervisor e-mails recipients about other The soft logic rules governing OnlineSupervisor’s’ events that have occurred. notification policy were designed by your administrator. Clicking the Notification Search box search button will yield something similar to figure 3.6. Clicking the event number will yield detail information as in figure 3.4 Figure 3.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L 4 Chapter The Video Submenu If your facility is equipped with cameras, the “Video Submenu” is one place where live camera views or archived video may be observed. Axcess video software may need to be installed. The Camera List page After clicking the video tab, the “Camera List” page is the default page. After clicking a camera in the “Select a Camera” list, that camera’s view with live video will appear to the right of the list. Figure 4.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L 5 Chapter The Map Submenu Here we may look at maps of Zones, and locate people and assets with respect to the Zones that have been designated within a facilities’ site map. We see the map submenu in figure 5.1 below. Figure 5.1 Map Submenu Here we will use the historic stored data with respect to a zone, person, or asset and with respect to facility’s site map. The “View Site Map” is the default page.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L The Locate Person page When first entering the Locate Person page, we see a locate person list as in figure 5.4. Next to a person’s name is the familiar location popup. which is the movement history popup. 12300105. Next we see a new popup Here we’ll click on the history popup of tag Figure 5.4 Locate Person list After clicking the history popup in figure 5.4, by looking at the blue one “1” in figure 5.
O N L I N E S U P E R V I S O R U S E R ’ S M A N U A L 6 Chapter The Reports Submenu The reports submenu is shown in figure 6.1. Activity Reports is the default page. Figure 6.1 Reports Submenu All reports are generated in a similar manner. Every report needs a start date of interest and an end date of interest. The span of time that the report covers may be further refined by adding desired times to the time fields in the edit boxes.
