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. Note the green down arrowhead that indicates which menu
item you are at in OLS. If we were at the “Activity” menu section of OLS, the green
arrow would be next to Activity.
Figure 2.1 Initial Dashboard of the Home Submenu
Figure 2.1 also shows the three Home submenu items, Dashboard, Configure
Dashboard, and Logout. Logout we’ve seen before. We see the Dashboard section of
the Home submenu is highlighted in white. So to refine the statements made above,
when we first login to OLS we are at the Dashboard submenu of the Home menu.
At this initial dashboard we see a message requesting us to “Click Here…”.We are
preparing to configure our dashboard with gauges. There are nine different gauges that
we may add to the dashboard. The first gauge we will add is the Live-Event gauge.
This gauge allows the USER to view RFID events in real time. In order to view the
Live-Event gauge, the AXCESS Inc. OLS Logger needs to be installed. Clicking on the
message with respect to figure 2.1 or the Configure Dashboard submenu will allow us
to add gauges.
Click the “Add New” button in the Configure Dashboard submenu, Figure 2.2.
