The Operator Manual shows the EZ-MES application from the perspective of a user with only a 'user' role assigned to her. This 'Operator' profile will limit the functionality that is available to this user.
Operators can perform the following tasks:
- Basic operation: Login, Logout, Change Password, and request new Account.
- Use the build in chat application to contact other online users
- Open and work with active Travelers (The Active Traveler list is a representation of the work that needs to be done). All operations can be executed from the Traveler Form and additional objects like Part Records can be accessed.
Most of these tasks can be accessed from the Desktop. (Learn more on how to use the Desktop) From the Desktop a list of travelers can be opened from which you can open any of the travelers displayed.
