Summary
Highlights
The IORIS platform offers two versions: Prime and Light. Prime provides all features for formally trained users, while Light has limited functionalities for untrained users. The video focuses on the Prime version.
The video introduces the IORIS platform, covering login procedures, a general overview of the interface, and a detailed look at the top banner functions. It emphasizes that there are two platforms: training (for exercises) and operational (for real-life business), with separate credentials for each.
To access the training platform, navigate to training.iois.io, enter your email and password, then click 'sign in'. If you forget your password, click 'forgot password', enter your email to receive a verification code, and then reset your password. The system will log you into the last area you connected to.
Upon logging in, the map is the background, with a top banner and favorite areas on the right. Map-related functions are on the left, and messages, chat, forms, documents, active users, and alerts are within the top banner. The bottom section includes image overlay, projection, favorite locations, markers, zoom, and coordinates.
The bell icon displays notifications from areas you are part of. You can filter areas by authority and sort them alphabetically. Alerts, messages, and unapproved forms/documents are also displayed. Unapproved forms/documents require action within the area to clear the notification. You can mute notifications for specific periods or permanently, or go directly to an area by clicking its name or the 'go to area' icon.
The 'exit area' function removes you from an area group, meaning you will no longer receive messages or see documents. This action requires confirmation and can only be undone by an area administrator re-adding you. It's important to understand the consequences of this function.
The top banner displays the current area (green for training, red for operational), the date, and times in UTC and local. The home button returns you to the starting screen. The 'request support' button allows users to contact the IORIS team, automatically including the area you are in and providing space for a detailed query.
The user directory acts as a 'phone book' for the IORIS platform, listing users by country, organization, and name, with email addresses and the option to initiate a one-to-one chat. It also allows copying email addresses to the clipboard for easy addition of users to areas. The directory can be sorted and searched.
Your personal account details include your email, and options to edit your profile. You can update your name, add a phone number, opt-in for email alerts, and choose not to appear in the user directory for privacy (though this can hinder communication). You can also select your preferred coordinate system (decimal or degrees/minutes) and bandwidth settings (high with map, low without map for internet issues).
The platform allows you to change your password by entering your old and new passwords. IORIS is multilingual, offering various interface languages, but note that this only changes the interface, not the language of existing messages. Your activity history is also accessible.
Always use the 'log out' option when leaving your station to prevent unauthorized access. The platform displays your 'favorite areas', which are selected for frequent access. These areas show a number if there's unaddressed activity (message, alert, form, document). You can amend your favorite areas by starring them from your full list. The 'create area' button is available for users with permission to establish new areas, a feature covered in advanced demonstrations.
