This page explains the basic screen layout and the structure of the main menu.
Basic Screen Layout
This screenshot shows the main menu of the MDA web interface for a user with MDA administration privileges.
Top: Status row
The top area, above the dark-grayed line, is always present and is a status row.
It provides a link leading back to the main menu, information about the user logged in, and a link to logout.
After many actions (like saving something) the status area shows a success message (green background) or error message (red background).
Future versions of the status row might provide more tools, like breadcrumb navigation.
Work area
The area below the dark-grayed line is a "work area", where everything else takes place.
Where the Main Menu entries lead
| Link | Access | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Browse Values | Officers | Shows the measurement value browsing screen, where users can search for measurement data, view them and export them to .XLSX files |
| Manage Measure Rounds | Officers | Shows the measurement round management screen, where measurement rounds can be specified. It also provides easy access to the data measured during the most recent execution of each measurment round |
| Manage Label Templates | Officers | Shows the label paper management screen, allowing to specify label papers used for the deployment of barcodes and customize print margins. |
| Manage Groups | Officers | Shows the group managment page. Employees can be assigned to groups, and groups to parts of the infrastructure tree, to reduce the number of choices presented in several situations. |
| Employees | Admins | Shows the overall employee list, where the list of employees can be synchronized with the authentication backend. |
| Manage Devices | Admins | Shows the device management screen, where the list of allowed client devices is maintained. |
| Import | Admins | Shows the import screen where spreadsheet files with master data can be imported. We highly recommend leave this task to us, though. |
