User and Administration Tools

Source file: user-and-administration-tools.htm

MaterialMRT is a user-friendly, web-based system that is organised in such a way that its many tools can be displayed in their own browser tabs. In most cases, you will have access to the same common controls. In this section, we discuss the system bar, which is the row of icons and clock that appear along the top-right of the browser tab. The system bar illustrated is typical for a user with administrative roles.

Some of these tools will not be available to all users. However, there are several that are available to all users. The range of tools is as follows:

System clock	The clock is set to the site’s Region and time zone. Click on the system clock to enable the historical mode system clock. The Choose New Effective Time dialog allows you to set the date and time for the historical clock. Use the calendar picker () to set the date and time, then click to confirm. The historical mode clock will appear next to the current clock. Note: This function is only available to users holding a role with the GenerateRetrospectiveEvent permission.
Historical mode system clock	Historical mode enables authorised users to perform tasks and publish them as if they were executed during the selected time interval. The clock is prominently coloured to remind you that it is active. You can perform tasks as usual; as records change, a pop-up message will appear in each instance, and a historical change entry is added in the notification panel. Tasks undertaken are queued in the Event Manager and will not be processed until they are published. Click to exit historical mode. This will open the Event Manager (from the current browser tab), allowing these currently unpublished events to be processed. For more, see System Preferences > Publishing Events.
System Status	The system status icon changes to indicate the state of the system, as follows:
	: The system is processing events and data.
	: The system is up-to-date. There are no events to process.
	: Rewinding events. The system is going back to a point in time.
	: Replaying events. The system is reprocessing data from a past point in time up to the current time.
	: High event rate. The system is waiting for the event input rate to decrease to prevent delays caused by excessive replays.
System Configuration	System configuration expands to display a menu of the following administrative tools:
	Site parameters: Sets up the modelling behaviour, stockpiles, and event processing and attributes of your zones.
	Preferences: Configure how MaterialMRT handles site-related information.
	Material Properties Schema: Allows material properties data to be updated stored, and referenced by MaterialMRT.
	Rules Editor: Allows the execution of a particular rule to validate results.
	Zone Maintenance: Allows a qualified user to manage, import, and create new zones.
	For more about system configuration tools, see Site Configuration Options
System Preferences	System Preferences opens a menu with the following tools:
	Users: (administrators only) Manage and assign roles to users.
	Roles: (administrators only) Manage and assign permissions to roles.
	Event Manager: (administrators only) Review, replay, and manage events.
	User Preferences: Set preferred telemetry and notification options.
	Maptek Help: Opens this help document.
	Log Out: Exits the MaterialMRT session.
	To learn more about each system preference tool, see System Preferences.
Contact Maptek	Request support by filling in the Contact Maptek form. Enter the email address and subject in the corresponding Email and Subject fields. Then, select a request type that best matches your query from the Category drop-down. If you prefer to receive a call back by telephone, select the Request Phone Support check box and enter your phone number in the field provided. Use the Description box to provide detailed information. Optionally, use the Attachments drop zone to attach files by clicking on the drop zone to open a file explorer window, or by dragging files directly in.
Recent Notifications	This panel displays events that have recently occurred in the system, as illustrated . The numbered red circle () indicates the number of unseen new events until the panel is opened. Once this panel is opened, the indicator is cleared. To remove all notifications, click Clear all notifications. To limit which notifications to display, open the Filter Notification Types drop-down and select those required. To remove individual notifications, click the (close) button. Tip: To close the notification panel, click anywhere outside of it.
Full screen view	Click the button or press `F11` to hide the MaterialMRT title bar, system bar, and page selection bar, showing only the application page. Press `F11` again to restore the view, or move the mouse pointer near the top-right of the screen to show the (restore view) button and click it.
