Define company settings in the Settings module

You can configure your company information and determine how your fellow users use Onix Work in Settings module.
Access Settings in the upper right of the header.

1. Data access

1.1. About data access

To ensure data security and privacy, customer consent is required for Onix staff to view or make changes to your company’s account. As the company administrator, you control Onix staff’s access by granting or restricting their access.

Our Support team may request data access to facilitate troubleshooting and investigate reported issues. As the company administrator, you are promptly notified of this request via email and within Onix Work.

1.2. View and change data access status

There are 3 statuses of data access:

  • Restricted: Onix staff cannot access your company data.
  • Granted: Onix staff can access your company data for a definite period or permanently.
  • Pending: Your action is needed to grant or restrict access.

As an administrator, you can view and change the current status via Onix Work:

  • In Onix Work, go to the Settings module → Choose Data Access.
  • The current status is shown upfront.
  • To change it, click on Restrict access or Grant access and set an expiration date (if necessary).

When any Onix staff requests access to your company, you and other administrators will be notified via email. You can handle this request by restricting or granting the data access.

2. Equipment receival & conversion

Equipment received from other member companies will not usually match your equipment description.
You can standardize your equipment information by converting the products and properties in Equipment receival & conversion.

2.1. Product linking

The Products tab contains products that are being used in your equipment and has no link to any product of your company.

  • Select a product in the list to create link to your product.
  • You can search from existing products, or create new one, default value will get from the product of the supplier.

On the contrary, the Product Links tab contains products that are being linked to a product of your company. By default, only products that have equipment needing conversion are listed. If you activate the conversion, your equipment in external products that have link to your product will be converted.

  • Select Finalize Manually to have a look at the equipment that is in queue for auto-conversion.
  • Click on Finalize to run the conversion right away.

Important note:
The equipment must have at least a Certificate, Control Documentation, or 4-year Control Documentation to be converted.

2.2. Property Linking

This section is very similar to Product linking, where you map the properties being used in your equipment to another property in your company.
If you use existing property, it’s highly recommended that you create link to the system properties.

2.3. Manage Properties

This section helps to clean up your properties by merging duplicated properties. Each property listed has a number of similar properties, calculated based on description.

When you add duplicated properties to the list, all similar properties will be picked up by default and merged.

3.2. Locations, Areas and Departments

If you have a business with multiple locations, you can create locations and their associated areas as geographical indicators of where the equipment is located. For each location, you can assign a managing department and a managing contact within your own company.

Besides locations and areas, you can create departments to manage big and diverse groups of employees more efficiently.

To create a new location or area, click New on the toolbar.
