====== 4. Getting Started ======

===== 4.1 Accessing the web interface =====

Open a browser on any device in the plant network and navigate to:

<code ->
http://<device-ip>:8000
</code>

No client software is required. The interface is responsive and can be used on desktop PCs, panel PCs and tablets.

===== 4.2 Signing in and user roles =====

{{.:pasted:20260716-214906.png?200}}

Sign in with your **username or e-mail** and **password**. Accounts are managed by an administrator ([[insight:manual:09-system-administration#user_management|chapter 9.2]]).

Access levels build on each other. Every level includes the permissions of the levels below:

^ Level ^ Password ^ May access ^
| **Basic** | no | Scoreboard only (intended for wall displays) |
| **Operator** | yes | + Production Timeline, live Bottleneck view, Notifications |
| **Supervisor** | yes | + all Analysis views, AI Assistant, Line Config |
| **Admin** | yes | + System configuration, Users, Reports, Backup, SMTP, Version, License |

If you navigate to a page your role does not permit, you are redirected to the Scoreboard.

===== 4.3 Navigating the user interface =====

  * **Production**: Production Timeline with state controls ([[insight:manual:05-live-operation#production_timeline|chapter 5.2]])
  * **Bottleneck**: live bottleneck analysis ([[insight:manual:05-live-operation#live_bottleneck_analysis|chapter 5.3]])
  * **Notifications**: system and production notifications([[insight:manual:04-getting-started#notifications|chapter 4.5]])

</columns>


===== 4.4 Changing the display language =====

**Pinetek Insight** is available in **English** and **German**. The language is a system-wide setting; it applies to the entire web interface and to generated PDF reports.

An administrator changes it under //System → System → Language// ([[insight:manual:09-system-administration#system_configuration|chapter 9.1]]).

===== 4.5 Notifications =====

{{.:pasted:20260716-221612.png}}

The system raises notifications for events that need attention, e.g. disk-space warnings or production events. Open them via **Notifications** in the sidebar.

  * Each notification has a **level**: //Info//, //Warning//, //Error// or //Permanent//.
  * Filter by status: //All//, //Unconfirmed//, //Confirmed//, //Permanent//.
  * Select one or more notifications and press **Confirm** to acknowledge them. An optional **note** can be stored with the confirmation (applied to all selected entries). The confirming user and time are recorded.
  * //Permanent// notifications represent persistent conditions and stay visible while the condition lasts.

<WRAP info>
Unresolvable warnings (e.g. low disk space) should be reported to your administrator.
