Esders Connect

By default, 10 entries are displayed in the measurement data overview (display can be adjusted in the lower area of the measurement list). The list is not filtered and sorted by execution date of the measurement. In the simple search, you can filter by “Menu” (test name), serial number of the device or a time period so that only those measurements that meet the set criteria are displayed. After selecting a new search parameter, you must update the measurement list. In Advanced Search, you can create additional search criteria to further narrow down the list of measurements. Use “Other filters” to create a new row and set search parameters individually. All set search parameters can be deleted using the “Thumbplate” button on the right-hand edge of the filter search.

You have the option of filtering a measurement by entries from the additional data (MDE) in the filter search. To do this, you must allow filtering once by going into the details of a measurement. If you have marked an entry with a yellow asterisk in the additional data, you can select a corresponding search parameter in the filter search via “other filters”.

If you need to correct or amend entries in the additional data (MDE) because you have not made it on site or the entry is incorrect, you can correct this in the details of a measurement. The entries made are displayed here. If you have the appropriate authorisation (“Edit measurements”), you can change the entries and display the corrected report directly. Confirm the completion of the changes with “Save”.

PDF reports for each measurement are automatically provided in the measurement overview in the “Measurement data management” – “Measurements” area. For individual measurements, click the download arrow directly in the measurement tab. If you go into the “Details” of an individual measurement, you can choose between downloading a report (PDF file) or a measurement data table (csv file) via the download arrow in the menu header.

If you want to export several measurements at the same time, please use the download arrow in the search filter area in the measurement data overview. Here you can choose whether you want to download a single PDF file or a single csv file (measurement data in table format) for each selected measurement. This download arrow exports the entire displayed measurement list. Use the “Entries per page” setting in the bottom bar of the measurement list to restrict/extend the measurement list.

In the “device management” – “my groups” area, you can create your own group, e.g. for several branches. You can set your own settings for each group. This can be, for example, different master data that is automatically displayed on the report header of a measurement. You can also define your own configuration of the additional data (MDE) in the device for a group. You need the “Edit groups” authorisation to manage groups.

You can create a new group with the “plus” symbol. The “pen” symbol in the group name takes you to the group and you can change settings or delete the group.

By default, all devices assigned to you are in the “default” group. If you have created another group, you can now drag and drop individual devices (click, hold and drag devices) into the white field of another group.

You must confirm the changes to groups by clicking “Save”.

In the “Device management” – “My groups” area, you can change the settings of a group using the “pen” symbol. In the group, you can edit the group name and change the master data. You can change the logo displayed on the reports using the “plus” symbol in the logo.

Confirm the changes to the group settings with “Save”.

In the “Device management” – “My groups” area, you can change the settings of a group using the “pen” symbol. In addition to the e-mail addresses entered in the devices, you can permanently define 4 additional e-mail addresses here to which the report is always sent.

Confirm the changes to the group settings with “Save”.

In “Device management” under “My groups”, you can change the settings of a group via the “pencil” symbol. Using the checkbox “Editing of additional data (MDE)” you can give permission that the additional data (MDE) of a measurement may be edited subsequently with the Esders Connect app. The permission applies to all devices in the respective group. So if you have all devices in the “Default” group and give permission for this, all measurements may be edited with the Esders Connect App. You must confirm the changes to the group settings via “Save”.

You can configure the additional data (MDE) of a device either in the “device management” – “my devices” area after going into the details of the corresponding device. Editing can be started via the note symbol “Edit MDE”.

Another option is in the “Device management” – “My groups” area. Here you can set the configuration for individual devices as well as for a complete group of devices.

In the “My groups” area, find the device for which the configuration is to be changed and click on the “note” symbol. A list of menu items installed on the device now appears. For each menu item, a configuration of additional data (MDE) is stored as standard (our factory setting). By clicking on a menu item, you can change the configuration (see details in the next question). 

Confirm the change to the configuration with “Save”.

If you are back in “My groups”, you can transfer the configuration of a device to an entire group via “apply MDA”. Therefore, define the group (destination) to which you want to transfer and define the individual device (source) from which you want to transfer. As soon as you confirm with “Save”, each device of the selected group is equipped with the set configuration.

For each menu item, a separate configuration of additional data (MDE) can be set separately, which is requested in the device during the test. The entries made for the additional data (MDE) are automatically placed on the PDF report for each check. The first four entries are always displayed in the report header of the PDF report (in the field at the top left). All further entries are placed as an additional table on the second page of the report. Depending on the menu item, there is space for more or fewer entries on the second page of the report. Usually there is space for 7-8 text entries, i.e. 4 on the report header and 4 on the second page. Signature fields are handled separately. For each entry you can define the “Designation” (name) of the entry and the type. The selection “Type” includes text (normal text entry), checkbox (selection ticked or not set), signature (signature) or drop-down (you can specify several selection options which can be selected in the device).

The selection “Print” defines whether an entry is printed on the thermal printer report.

The selection “Drop after measurement” defines whether or not an entry in the device should be accepted for a follow-up measurement.

Use the “Plus” symbol to create a new entry that you can configure.

The selected line is deleted using the “X” symbol in a line.

You must confirm the changes to the MDE configurations by clicking “Save”.

In the “device management” – “my devices” area, you can view and export the stored documents and certificates for each device. Select the desired device from the list or find it via the search function. The “info” symbol takes you to the details of the device. Here you can download individual or all collected certificates or, for example, download the latest version of the operating instructions using the download symbol.

In the “device management” – “my devices” area, you have the option of booking a service for each device. Select the desired device from the list or find it via the search function. The “info” symbol takes you to the details of the device. The “Book service” button opens several service options for your device. Select the desired service and press “Save”. The selected service is now in your shopping cart, which is displayed at the bottom right of the page. You can either book another service for a device in your shopping cart or go directly to the shopping cart and order the service via “Requests”.

The “Orders” – “My orders” area shows you a list of all active and completed orders. You can view the details of an order using the “Info” symbol. You can use the search to filter by keywords, order numbers or types. You can export a list of all displayed orders using the download symbol.

Go to “Settings” – “User management”, you have the option of setting different authorisations for each user. To grant authorisations, you need the special powers of the “Admin”. By default, we provide 1-2 persons with “Admin” rights for your company. These are usually the people from your company who first registered as users in Esders Connect. If you personally do not have “Admin” rights, the contact details of your “Admin” will be displayed under “User management” so that you can contact them for the purpose of managing authorisations.

In the “Settings” – “User Management” section, it is possible to set different permissions for each user. Permissions are granted and administered by users with “Admin” rights (see previous question).

The following rights are available:

Admin
