Login window:

An admin who runs a specific operation having a team combined with groups of Analysts, will have an access to view his team chart as soon as he logins to the server. On the other hand, an analyst working under an operation being in a team consisting of different groups, which be relevant to the operation of their respective team, has the access only to get into the window of home page as soon as he logins into the server with his user credentials.

Once a user logins into the server in a system, there are no chances for any other user to use that specific system regardless to any conditions. To log out of the server, a user needs a special permission based command given by a higher officer from the Space centre/Analytical centre. This enhances the safety against any personally intended cheats or data leaks.

HOME PAGE:�(MAIN PAGE)

  • Tasks yet to be started.

In this window, the user can go through a list of tasks having zero progress.

On the other hand, an operator from the spacecraft, can check in the tasks accomplished by the workers in the spacecraft. These tasks which gets checked in by the operators, gets pushed into the TASK IN PROGRESS window unless it`s every sub tasks/steps are completed. Once they`re completely done, they get popped out of the window to be viewed on the TASKS ACCOMPLISHED and the VIEW TEAM LOGS windows.

  • Tasks in progress.

This window helps the users to go through every detail of a task/observation being run by the operators on the spacecrafts. Also, it has an additional field for every task; DESCRIPTION, where they describe the status of the respective task/observation.

  • Tasks accomplished.

The window the users always wish to see being full. The logs displayed here consists only the name of the task/observation and the user who worked on it.

  • View Team Logs.

Unlike to the TASKS ACCOMPLISHED window, this read only window shows the complete brief data about every milestone of a team work. This window also helps the users to view the logs with filters as per their convenience.

A highlighter is seen with every log here in this window, which tells about the priority and the intensity of the work/observation.
