Overview

 

Operators are always organized into Operator Groups. These groups are created to gather operators with common features (ex: all do the same task as "Inventory", all use a device like MC75A, all belong to the day shift, etc.). The account provides a default operator group (named "Default") but you should create operator groups according to the site's organization. Most of operator related operations (copying an operator, moving an operator, importing operators, etc.) rely on the existence of operator groups.
