brainX

User

Package: BASIC

1. Login

After a new user has been created by the administrator, they will – provided the central mail server has been configured – automatically receive an email containing their username, password, role and the link to the brainX system.

If the automatic emails for new users are not configured, the login credentials (username, password and link to the brainX system) will be provided by the brainX administrator.

Since brainX is a browser-based application, a browser is opened to start and the corresponding address (URL) is entered into the address bar.

After opening the address, the brainX login page appears as follows:

Note

On first login, the user must change their password in accordance with the password policy.

2. My Preferences

In addition to the administrator or users with administrative permissions, every brainX user can edit their personal data in the "My Preferences" settings.

To access "My Preferences", move the mouse pointer over the username in the bottom-left corner. A flyout menu opens with the following options:

The individual settings are explained in detail in the "My Preferences" section. The "My Preferences" area is divided into the following subsections:

3. Setting Up an Email Account

To send emails from within brainX, at least one email account must be configured in the Email Accounts module.

Further information on setting up a new email account can be found in the Email Accounts section of the handbook.

4. Setting Up the Dashboard

The dashboard provides you with a summarised overview of your most important data and information from brainX.

This is displayed in Widgets that can contain selected records (special list views of a module), charts (Charts) or country maps.

You can determine the number, content and position of the widgets for your own dashboard.
