Introduction

User profiles hold settings that are specific for a user and that are controlled by the user. 

  • When a user account is added to JOC Cockpit using the JS7 - Identity Services then a profile is created and is populated from a template account, see JS7 - Settings.
  • The profile includes preferences such as language, time zone etc. and it can hold keys and certificates for JS7 - Secure Deployment of scheduling objects.

Profile Page

The Profile page is accessible from the user menu of an account in the right upper corner of any JOC Cockpit view:


The Profile page offers to change the user's password and to manage settings from a number of tabs:

Change Password

  • If the user is authenticated by the JS7 - JOC Identity Service then the option to change one's password is available.
  • For other Identity Services users change their password with the Identity Provider. For example, if an LDAP Identity Provider is used then the password is changed with the LDAP Directory Service, e.g. an Active Directory.

When clicking the Change Password link in the Profile page then the following popup window is displayed:


Explanation: 

  • The JS7 administrator can specify an initial password and a minimum password length, see JS7 - Identity Services, chapter: Global Settings.
    • The initial password cannot be used.
    • The minimum password length has to be considered.
  • The old password cannot be used as the new password.

Tabs and WindowsShow LogsNew Window

Logs of Orders and Tasks can be viewed for example from the JS7 - Order History, chapter: Order Log View, JS7 - Task History, chapter: Task Log View etc. Users have a choice how to view logs:

  • New Window: a new browser window is opened when displaying log output.
  • New Tab: a new browser tab is opened in the browser when displaying log output.
  • Download: log output is downloaded for viewing with a text editor of the user's client device. Which text editor to use is decided by the associated mime type text/plain or by browser settings. This option is preferably used for larger log output, for example > 10MB, that takes more time for rendering in a browser window or browser tab than display with a local text editor.

Independently from this setting any views displaying log output offer to download a log file by use of the  download icon.


Show DocumentationNew Window

Users have a choice how to display JS7 - User Documentation:

  • New Window: a new browser window is opened when displaying the documentation.
  • New Tab: a new browser tab is opened in the browser for display of a documentation.

  • Sub-folders and folder contents:  Sub-folders and elements are displayed.

Show Files immediately in File Transfer viewuncheckedThe JS7 - File Transfer view displays current and past transfers. Users have an option to display files subject to transfer when opening this view or to display files only when selecting to display details in this view.
Audit LogEnable Reasons for Audit Logunchecked

The JS7 - Audit Log keeps track of any changes to objects, for example when a workflow is stored, is deployed, when an order is added etc. Users can be forced to add a reason why they perform the respective operation. Reasons can be selected from a list and can be added individually. This setting works as a voluntary option for individual users. However, JS7 administrators can enforce use of reasons when modifying objects by JS7 - Settings, chapter: JOC Cockpit Settings.

Log ViewUse time zone for log timestampscheckedJS7 Agents can be operated in different time zones. This includes that each Agent will create log timestamps corresponding to its time zone, for details see JS7 - Time Zone Support. This setting offers to convert timestamps in any log output to the time zone specified with the above Time Zone setting and otherwise will display the original timestamp.
Controller ViewCurrent ControllercheckedIf JOC Cockpit is connected to a number of Controllers then most views offer the option to display information for the currently selected Controller or for all Controllers. For example the JS7 - History offers to display history entries for the current Controller or for all connected Controllers. This option specifies if views should limit data to the current Controller by default. Users have the option to modify this setting with each view.
Inventory ViewSuppress tooltips for Inventory objectsuncheckedThe JS7 - Inventory offers a number of configuration items for Workflows, Jobs etc. When this option is unchecked then tooltips are activated when the user holds the mouse for >0,5s on the label of the respective configuration item.
