Facility Grid

The Facility Grid contains the labs in which this user can work.

The “+” button below the grid can be used to add a lab or the “X” button can be used to delete a Lab.

Note: When creating or editing a Facility from the Maintenance menu Facility submenu, a Facility must be setup as a Lab to be added to this grid.

If more than one lab is added and listed in this grid, the user is prompted at log in with the Select Lab dialog to select which lab they wish to log in to.

·         If a lab is marked as default, it appears highlighted in the Select Lab dialog, allowing the user to log on quickly.

·         The user is not required to have a default lab; it is simply a convenience. To set a lab as a default, double click the lab and select “Yes” when the prompt appears.

Assigning Groups (User Rights)

When a User is setup, the Administrator decides what Group or Groups a User is assigned to.

A User is not required to be assigned to any User Groups. If a User is not assigned to any Group, the User has rights to those functions that have been enabled or made visible for ‘Everyone’ through the Edit Control Security screen. This screen is only available to Users in the Administrator and Configuration Groups. See your MET/TEAM Administrator for further details.

Groups are used to determine what the User is allowed to do.

·         When creating a new User, you must save the User account settings before you can assign the User to Groups.

·         The Groups button can be also be used to assign a User to one or more Groups.

·         When attempting to close the Edit User screen, a prompt is displayed asking if you want to assign the User to a Group.

Select Yes, to open the Assign Groups screen or no to continue to close the Edit User screen without assigning the User to a Group.

The MET/TEAM application ships with a set of default groups. Additional groups can be added by a trained Administrator. For more information, see the section

Groups.
