User administration
The following actionsperformed here:
• Add new users• Add new group• Set group permissions• Add users to the groups• Remote updates• System Settings
Inventory moduleThe main inventory page has following functions:• The user can perform various customized searches.• Each search result can be displayed as an individual tab. • Each search result can be printed
Found items, if they have expiration date (for example calibration period) have differentcolor code depending on the current status.
Inventory – Item Properties View
Item properties displayed in the separate window.
The tabs on the top of thiswindow allow easy access to
item’s logbook, and documents
Inventory - New Item
To achieve data consistency, the information field such as: manufacturer, type and model,
Vendor, location comes from pre set source.This source only accessible
by users with administration privileges.
Inventory – Set Up
Inventory setup module allows the users with advanced privileges:
• Create new location• Enter information about new manufacturers• Assign devices types/models to existing manufacturers• Enter new vendor information
Adding the device type, model and calibration can be accomplished from the same window.
Inventory – Assembly Assembly is permitting
the user to group various items in the system
under single ID.
Each assembly canbe updated easy byuser with advanced permissions.
The following example demonstrates the Underwater Unit Assembly (UUA) for CTD. Each sensor displayed with calibration expiration date.
Logbooks
QuIC System keeps track of user’s activities. In additionto that, the user can write the logbooks records for specific item in the QuIC System.
Documentation
User can attach a file tosingle item in the QuICsystem.
It is possible to attach the same file to multiple items
currently present in QuIC System or the ones
which will be added in the future.
