Overview

The machine monitoring page provides you with a quick snapshot of the status of all your machines at the present time.  Machines are grouped by property and sorted by unit ID, with colour coding used to represent status.  More detailed information is provided for each machine by clicking on the machine icon.

Here's a screenshot showing "small icons" with machines grouped by property (NRT1|NRT2).

Machine Monitoring Icons

You can choose between the large and small icons.  Both icons display the unit ID and the current status (see machine status codes).  The "large icons" are also referred to as "bar chart containers" (see graphic below).  The bar charts indicate the current level of bills, coins, and tickets within the devices in each machine.

Property Filter Sections

"user/machine status" sections include:

BO User|Employee|SOP User|Machine Status

How property filter in "user/machine status" sections is applied:

  1. The "current property" shown in the property list (top of page) is initially applied to all sections.
  2. When a filter is applied in one of the "user/machine status" sections (see diagram at left), the "current view: property filter" overrides the "current property" shown in the list.
  3. There may be other criteria shown in the "current view", but the property filter portion will be applied to all of these sections, until changed by applying another filter.
  4. The "current property" shown in the property list is still applied to all other sections.
