3 System Configuration

This chapter lists lists the Japanese-specific (J-specific) features in the System Configuration module of Argus Console.

Configuring Commmon Profile Switches

This section describes the functionality for the J specific Common Profile switches.

A new tree-node has been added under Console > System Configuration > System Management (Common Profile Switches) >Argus J > Reporting as "Device Report Responsible Officer" with the following new switches in the exact same order as specified below:

• Company Name: Textbox, Maxlength = 100

• Department: Textbox, Maxlength = 100

• Address: Textbox, Maxlength = 60

• Telephone: Textbox, Maxlength = 50

• Fax: Textbox, Maxlength = 50

• Email: Textbox, Maxlength = 255

The existing common profile switch - "Offset from GMT used to calculate Japanese date/time fields for Interchange-J (in hours)" under Console > System Configuration > System Management (Common Profile Switches) > Argus J > Reporting has been renamed to "Offset from GMT used to calculate Japanese date/time fields (in hours)" to remove the reference of "Interchange-J" and use it for device reports as well as in addition to E2B.

Common Profile Switches

This section explains the Common Profile Switches for Argus J.

The following figure is displayed when you navigate to Common Profile > Argus J:

Profile Switch for Incompletion Report Submission - Auto Action item

• When this action item is configured, the system creates an action item automatically when Incompletion report is submitted. (Mhlwadmicsrcompleteclass, 1=Incomplete, 2=Complete, Case Form/Analysis/PMDA/PMDA General/Incompletion checkbox)

• Blank (Default): if this option is present in the Action Item drop-down, the system does not create any Action Items for the Incompletion Report Submission (current functionality).

• Action Item drop-down (Codelist):

  • This option displays all the Action Items configured within the Code List Action type which are not deleted or allowed to be viewed.

  • If there is a value selected, the system creates an Action Item which would be Due in, as defined by you.

  • The Due in field allows you to enter up to 99 days.

  • The group assigned to the Action Item is Unassigned.

  • The Action Item is created as soon as the status of the Incompletion Report is changed to Submitted.

• The Audit Log tracks the updates made to this field.

• Once the Follow-up Completion Report is submitted, the Action Item associated to the report is Closed with the Close Date as the System Date (Server date).

• If the Follow-up report is still an incompletion report, the Action Item remains open.

• If the report is nullified (Nullification Report is sent), the Action Item is closed.

• When there are multiple incompletion reports from one case, the system creates the action items, which are same in number as that of the reports generated.

• The system prepends a default text in front of description (J): Incompletion Report: XXX where XXX refers to the text entered in the Description (J) field.

• The Group can be assigned using the Follow-up Action Item for Incompletion Report Submission Group Assignment profile switch.
