Configuring a Web release profile - Page "My account" v. 1

Principle

Watchdoc has a website (called the “My Account” page) designed to allow users to access various pieces of information and features within the tool. This page is available in two versions:

  1. the first version consists of the “Unlock Prints” page, which provides access to the “My Account” page after logging in;

  2. the second version, available starting with Watchdoc v. 6.1.1.5654, provides access—after logging in—to a dashboard and a menu for accessing features and information.


Web Unlock Page / My Account v. 1

The first version consists of the “Release Print jobs” page, which provides access to the “My Account” page after logging in:


After logging in on the “Release Print Jobs” page, the user can view their current print jobs.
This page allows the user to release print jobs if the device does not have WES, but it can also work in conjunction with WES. The user can then print their documents or delete them:

 

To access the “My Account” page, the user clicks the button in the upper-right corner.

From this interface, the user accesses:

  • the list of his print jobs he can release;

  • his printing statistics;

  • his accounts and operations (if quotas are activated by the administrator);

  • his archives (if archiving is activated by the administrator);

  • information about his codes and his cards.

As the web interface contains several functions, it is possible to configure profiles responding to specific needs:

  • consulting print-jobs ;

  • consulting his account;

  • release the print-jobs;

  • etc.

The web site allows users to release their print-jobs, especially when the device has no WES. But this web site and the WES can work together.

 

It is the administrator who configures this information and these functions according to users’ needs. It is therefore possible that not all of them may be available. (See: Configuring the web release profile).

 

 

Activation

Once configured, the web site profile must be activated on the server, from the Advanced configuration > System configuration > Network settings > Web Console setting: tick the box Authorise users to access the release web site:

 

Before proceeding to configure a web site profile in Watchdoc, check the following requirements:
