Getting Started with Flex Operations

The Flex Operations client is a browser‑based application that allows you to support control room staff by quickly logging on and helping to manage outages, crews, and other storm processes. The Flex Operations clients run on desktops, laptops, and tablets; see the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Quick Install Guide for supported platforms.

Logging In

1. Launch the web link provided by your System Administrator.

2. Enter your User ID and Password, then click Validate.

3. Select your User Type.

4. (Optional) You can select the Accessibility Mode option to enable features to improve the accessibility of the application, such as modifying keyboard navigation and optimizing for screen readers.

5. Click Login.

Note: For information on User Type options, see Understanding User Types.

Logging Out

On the Workspace Banner, click your User ID and then select Logout.

Note: Closing the browser is the same as logging yourself out.

Using the Authority Dialog Box

When you are using the Flex Operations client, you only see events and crews for the areas (or zones) of authority that you are subscribed to. When you log in, you are prompted to subscribe to authority areas, but you can also change your areas of authority at any time (see Adding and Removing Areas of Authority for more information).
