Introduction

Qbyte Optix is a Web 2.0 application which utilizes all the current web navigation metaphors.

Login/Logout

Only users with valid Qbyte Optix accounts may login to Qbyte Optix. The username and password (case sensitive) must be supplied and will be validated prior to successfully logging in. If your password has expired or your account has been locked you will receive an error message indicating the nature of the problem. After a successful Qbyte Optix login, multiple browser Tabs may be opened in the same Browser instance without the need to login to Qbyte Optix again. To logout of Qbyte Optix, select the icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select Logout.

Tabs

When Qbyte Optix is launched there are two tabs visible: My Home (My is replaced with the user's first name) and Reports. Each tab contains multiple Accordions with various menu options.

The User’s Home tab – where the user can organize and personalize Metrix Reporting to the way they work and use information
The Reports tab – contains all available reports and data extracts

As the reports in the Reports tab are run, a new tab is opened within Qbyte Optix. There is no limit to the number of tabs that may be opened, however, too many tabs may detract from the Qbyte Optix user interface. Each report tab will be labeled with the report name. Configuration tabs will be labeled with the functionality they support. Unsaved changes in a tab will result in an asterisk (*) appearing before the name in the tab.

Each report tab will be labeled with the report name. Configuration tabs will be labeled with the functionality they support. Multiple reports can be open in their own tab. Unsaved changes in a tab will result in an asterisk (*) appearing before the name in the tab. If you close a tab (select the “X” on the tab) and there are unsaved changes, you will get the following message. You can choose to Close the report without saving or click No to return to the report.

Accordions

Accordions are used extensively in Qbyte Optix to organize and streamline access to the extensive functionality available to the user. Each accordion can be expanded (show) or compressed (hide) by clicking on either the accordion line, the plus (+) / minus (-) icon or the Show / Hide link. By default, the first accordion will always be opened when a tab is first displayed.

Reports

The Reports tab contains reports for those products your company has an Qbyte Optix license. It has 3 sections:

The Subject areas (the top menu: i.e. Allocation, Interoperability, etc.)
The Report Categories (the left hand categories: i.e. Production, Balance, etc.)
The Report Names (the right hand listing of reports: i.e. Inventory Override Details, Consumption Allocation, etc.)

Search for any Report

Reports can be found by using the menus to find links or the Search for any Report option can be used. By selecting one of the displayed options, the Open Selected Report button will be activated for you to click on. This action will open the desired report.
