Browser Data Display Application

You are here:
< All Topics

Overview

The Scytec DataXchange Data Display Application runs as a web site in a browser and as an app on mobile devices. The browser version is located here: [Your DataXchange Server]/datadisplay. This page describes the basic usage of the app including the initial login as well as some of the features of a few of the items.

Note: Due to potential security risks, LDAP authentication is not supported in Data Display. A DataXchange password must be used. If one has not been set, you will be prompted to create one upon first login.

Logging In

The first time the application is run on a device the account information must be entered, therefore the Account Setting page will be displayed. If your account uses the DataXchange Cloud service then SSL must remain enabled. If your account is an On Premise deployment then the appropriate site and SSL settings must be entered.

Once the account information has been saved the login screen will appear. The app is designed to work from browsers and mobile apps from outside corporate networks so only DataXchange authentication is supported.  LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory authentication types are not supported for the web application.

If you forget your password you can click Reset Password and enter your Company Email address. A new password will be emailed to you.

Once logged in the main Launch Pad page will appear. This is where the charts and dashboards can be launched from. Pressing any of the icons will navigate to the Filter page for the associated Chart or Report. Each chart, export, and real time view is controlled by permissions within the main DataXchange application.

The menu bar on the left allows navigation back to the Launch Pad (home page) from anywhere. The user can also log out of the application and, with the appropriate permissions, manage company-assigned saved charts from here.

When you first click on a chart, a page containing the filter options for the selected chart will be displayed. Select the desired time frame, equipment, and any other additional options depending on the chart you want to view. When finished, click the Chart button in the top-right corner. To go back to the filter page, click the Filter button. For additional options while viewing the chart, click the Options button. When exporting an Excel report, click the Export button once the correct filter settings are selected. The Launch Pad button will return the user to the home page.

Using the Filters

The filters in the browser and mobile reporting are designed to remember the selections for each user. All applicable settings will carry over between charts as well. For example, four pieces of equipment are selected for last Tuesday from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM when running the Equipment Status Summary chart. When going to the Equipment Status Timeline chart the filter will have the same settings by default. The settings are also retained regardless of whether the filter is used on a PC, a browser, or within one of the mobile applications.

Managing Company-Assigned Saved Charts

The Manage Company-Assigned Saved Charts page allows for modification of user group assignments for any Saved Charts that have been assigned to user groups. Click the menu in the upper left and choose Manage. From there, a chart can be selected from the list. At the bottom of the page, select the desired user groups to which the chart should be assigned. Click Save to finalize the changes to the selected chart.
