Argus Insight, formerly called Power Reports is a highly optimized reporting module that compliments Argus Safety. The Argus Insight Extract Transfer and Load (ETL) engine extracts data from the Argus Safety database and populates a data warehouse in a format that allows efficient querying. The various query, drill-down, and output components of Argus Insight let you analyze your safety, workflow, or product data from all angles and produce reports that provide immediate business impact and maximum efficiency in decision-making.
This chapter describes the tasks performed when logging into Argus Insight.
The following tasks help you get started with Argus Insight.
To launch the web-based Argus Suite of Products:
Open the Web browser.
Type the Argus Web URL (Universal Resource Locator) in the address bar.
The system uses the Secure Socket Layers to support third-party digital certificates for secure transmissions at the system level. The System Administrator configures the URL is configured by the System Administrator.
The system opens the login screen.
Be aware of the following:
Users can have single-sign on capabilities.
The Argus Safety Administrator defines access to various modules in User Maintenance. If a user is assigned to more than one group, the system provides the user with the highest access level.
Based on module access rights, the system enables / disables the application buttons access rights in the Menu Structure.
Group access permissions are assigned in Web Admin.
A user with access to Argus or Insight can launch the application modules. The system does not ask the user to enter a password again for the PR or Argus modules. This also applies when the user launches other applications.
In User Maintenance, the administrator can link the Argus, Perceptive, and Insight Mart databases. When a user logs into the system, the system identifies the available application modules for each Argus Instance.
When the user clicks the application modules, the system opens a New dialog where the other application (Insight or Argus Safety) can be worked on.
When the user launches another application through Argus,or vice versa, the application module buttons do not appear in the new dialog windows because the user is already logged into the earlier application.
The initial login screen is the launching dialog forall other modules.
Logout is available only on the Parent Application dialog. Logging out of the Main application dialog closes all child dialogs without saving information in the child applications.
Sharing a Case Series
The system enables a user to share a case series between the following:
Perceptive to Insight
A case series is available from Perceptive through the Alert Preview and Alert Details.
If a case series from Perceptive contains cases not in the Insight data mart (due to latency of the scheduled update), Insight drops these cases from the case series and notifies the user of the dropped cases.
Insight to Perceptive
A case series is available from Insight through the Active Case Series.
Case Series tab à Import Cases From Insight is available on the Alert Details screen. This adds the cases from latest (current) Active Case Series for the Insight user to the Case Series in Perceptive.
If there are no cases in the Active Case Series in Insight or no Active Case Series exists, Perceptive presents the user with the following message:
No cases have been exported from Insight
The Argus Insight installation program automatically creates an account for the system administrator and assigns the default user name and password as administrator and password, respectively. The administrator account cannot be deleted. This ensures that the system administrator can always log on to the system. In a given session, only one system administrator can log on to the system.
We recommend that you change the administrator password after logging on to Argus Insight for the first time. You can access Argus Insight through Argus Safety. This feature has been introduced to enable you to use a single login id and password for all Argus Modules. The modules that are enabled when you login to Argus Safety depend on your access right to various Argus modules.

Throughout Argus Insight, you are required to enter dates in several fields. Fields that accept full dates appear in the dd-mmm-yyyy format. You can enter the month using numbers instead of three letters. When you enter a valid month number, the system automatically converts the number to letters corresponding to that month. For example, 03 for the month automatically gets converted to MAR.

You can enter partial dates in certain fields. Fields that accept partial dates appear in the ??-???-0000 format. For reporting purposes, missing days of the month are approximated to the 15th of the month and missing months are approximated to the month of June
Valid partial dates must comprise either a year, or a year and a month. If you enter the day, you also need to enter the month.
