How to set up Onix Express

Launched in Autumn Release 2023, the new Onix Express offers full customization options for suppliers and inspectors, from the sign-in page to the main website. These options are available in Onix Work’s Settings module and are designed to make the setup process more user-friendly.

1. WHAT IS ONIX EXPRESS?

Equipment suppliers and inspectors use Onix Express to distribute equipment documentation to customers who are not members of Onix Work.

  • Onix Express users can only access their documents with read-only permission.
  • Onix Express does not offer full features as Onix Work. Features for equipment management or inspections are only available in Onix Work.

2. SET UP MY COMPANY’S ONIX EXPRESS

2.1 Privilege needed

You need to be assigned:

  • One of the main licenses: Equipment Owner, Supplier or Inspector.
  • A role which enables FULL ACCESS for “Manage Onix Express” privilege.

2.2. Customize access links and sign-in page

  • Go to the Settings module → Choose Onix Express tab.

Complete these fields with your preferred content, or use our default values:

  • Onix Express access link (URL): Choose a link that leads to your Onix Express portal.
    • You can “rename” the link with your company’s name, or whatever address that suits your needs.
    • To ensure smooth transition, any URL that was created before Autumn Release 2023 (10.11.2023) will be redirected to the new custom URL. No extra need to adjust the URL.
  • Your Onix Express logon website (URL): Choose an official website of your company to contain the logon button.
    • Users of your customer companies must find this logon website and click on the logon button to access your Onix Express portal.

  • Primary and text colors: Choose the colors for Onix Express’ background and text display.

Then preview how your styling options look like in Onix Express:

  • The quick preview shows only the header’s appearance.

2.4. Publish Onix Express to your customers

There are 2 ways to let your customers access the Onix Express:

    • Customize the button: Click on Customize → Choose your preferred button’s colors and text → Hit Save.
    • Copy the embed code.
    • Go to the settings of your company’s website → Paste the embed code, and the logon button will immediately appear on the website.
