Version 7.1 - Quick End-User Guide


Overview

So your eMite platform has been upgraded to v7.1.0. Congratulations, that’s great news!

eMite v7.1.0 includes several new features and user interface changes so please read this quick end-user guide before jumping straight in.

Also, please remember to clear your browser cache (Ctrl + F5) when logging into the new version for the first time.


Pages and Page Groups

The most significant change in the user interface is how eMite pages and page groups are now accessed and structured.

All pages and page groups are now accessed via a burger menu in the top left corner of the user interface.

Accessing Pages and Page Groups

1. Click the burger menu (three horizontal lines).

All your pages and page groups will display in a new tree format.

Searching Pages

1. Click the burger menu (three horizontal lines).

2. On the search field, input a text of the page name you want to search.

In this example, “Agent” is inputted on the search field. All pages with “Agent” in their page names will display.

Adding a New Page Group

eMite v7.1 also supports multi-level page groups.

1. Under Manage menu, select Manage Page.

2. Under Pages(drag to group) tab, click the add child icon (folder icon) next to a page group where you want to add a child page menu.

3. Input a child page name, then press Enter.

4. Drag and drop the desired page/s into that new child page group.

5. Click Save Reorder.

The new page structure will be reflected in the burger menu.

Pinning Pages

It is also now possible to easily pin pages to the Quick Access page group at the very top of the tree.

1. Under Manage menu, select Manage Page.

2. Under Pages(drag to group) tab, click the pin to quick access icon (pin icon) of the page you want to pin.

In this example, Agent Dashboard page is pinned to quick access.

The new pinned page will display at the top of the burger menu.


Time Zone and Date Format Settings

eMite v7.1 now supports Daylight Savings changes automatically. Instead of selecting a particular GMT offset as your time zone, in eMite v7.1, you must now select a nearby city or location.

1. Under User menu, select Settings.

2. Under TimeZone tab, select a location from the TimeZone dropdown options.

Note: Users must configure their time zone settings when they first log into eMite v7.1. Time zone settings from earlier eMite versions do not carry over automatically.

If a user does not configure their TimeZone settings, the system will default to the eMite server time, which in most cases is UTC. This may cause data within your dashboards to appear incorrect.

eMite v7.1 also support different date formats in the drillthrough datablock.

3. Select a date format from the Date Format dropdown options.

If “None” is selected, then the default ElasticSearch date format YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:mm:ss will be used.


Blank Values and Zeros

eMite v7.1 calculates blank values and zeros (within KPIs) differently to previous versions of eMite. Should you see changes in the way blank values and zeros are represented within your dashboards, then this is the reason why.

These changes are grouped in the four major mathematical operations and the new logic can be referenced below:
