Allow administration access to a wallboard (UAW)

The UAW system administrator can allow access to other people to look after a wallboard.  From here, these people can adjust the settings specific to the wallboards they control, but not any global settings.

These accounts are independent of your user directory, as they are local to the UAW application.

You can assign any of the wallboards to these accounts, allowing editing of those wallboards.  For example, you might create one of these accounts to allow the on-duty supervisor to adjust messages, colours or threshold values.

To manage the wallboard editor accounts:

Select the Wallboard Editors tab from the administration screen (Supervisors in UAW 2.1.xx)

Make your changes:

  • To add a new account, click the “Create” button and fill in the form.  Add the account name and password, and click Save. Next choose the wallboards to add for this account.
  • To reset the password, click the “reset password” link
  • To delete an account, click the respective “remove” link

To choose the wallboards for a wallboard editor, click the account name link.  This opens a new page with two lists – one for the current wallboards for the editor, and one for the wallboards that can be added.  Click on the wallboard to move it between the lists.  When you are done, click the Save button on the wallboard editor screen to keep the settings.
