Create a login group

  1. Log in to Oracle Empirica Signal as a superuser. If you are not a superuser but you have the Administer Users permission, the Login Group Settings page appears for your own login group as soon as you click Edit Login Groups on the Settings page.
  2. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon (Settings icon).
  3. In the Manage Users section, click Edit Login Groups.
  4. Click Create New Login Group.
  5. In the Enter name for new login group field, type a unique name for the login group, and then click Save.
  6. On the Login Group Settings page for the new login group, in the Logo Image field, enter the name of an image file. (You cannot use a text file.) The image file must exist in the \image subdirectory of the server location in which the application was installed. The application scales any logo image that is not exactly 50 pixels in height to fit within the space allotted for the header. The aspect ratio is maintained so that the width of the image is also scaled.

    By default the Logo Image field specifies logo.gif (the Oracle Empirica Signal logo). If you leave the Logo Image field blank, it is reset automatically to the default.

  7. In the Home Page field, enter the name of the file that contains the customized page, in .html format, for the Home page. The .html file must exist in the \customhomes subdirectory of the server location in which the application was installed.

    By default the Home Page field specifies home.inc (the default landing page). If you leave the Home Page field blank, it is reset automatically to the default.

  8. From the Signal Management Configuration drop-down list, select a signal configuration from those published to the login group that you are editing.

    The Signal Review Page is not available to users unless they are in a login group with an assigned signal configuration and they have the View Signal Management permission.

    Note:

    The same signal configuration can be assigned to multiple login groups.
  9. From the Topic workflow Configuration drop-down list, select a topic workflow configuration from those published to the login group that you are editing. This will be the topic workflow configuration used on the Topic Management page (if Signal Management is integrated with Topics, the workflow configuration used on the Signal Review page is defined in the Signal Management Configuration). A user can make a topic visible to work teams that are based on login groups to which the topic workflow configuration is assigned.

    The Topic Management page is not available to users unless they are in a login group with an assigned topic workflow configuration and they have the View Topics permission (the exception is that users with the Manage Topic Workflow Configurations permission can set a user preference as another way to make the Topic Management page accessible).

    Note:

    The same topic workflow configuration can be assigned to multiple login groups.
  10. Click Save.
