The dashboard in the portal
After signing in on the web, a dashboard built from mini-apps (widgets) opens - everyone arranges their own:
- In the default layout, the first tile is EDISONKA on your phone - a reminder that you have the same portal on your phone, showing which app version is available and which one you have. Anyone who knows the app can remove the tile.
- The footer of the left panel shows the portal version and below it the state of your company’s EDISON. When EDISON is waiting for an update, the line turns orange and some new features will not work until then. A click opens the release notes page.
- In edit mode you drag widgets around, resize them, add more from the palette, or remove them from the dashboard.
- The layout is saved for you personally, not for the whole company, and you can return to the default at any time.
- The default layout matches what you do - a driver, a dispatcher and an administrator each start from a different one.
- The modules themselves are in the left-hand panel; a badge next to the name shows how many items in them are waiting for your response - unread and unconfirmed news items and documents, unread replies in your Messages threads, surveys to fill in, unfinished service inspections, and expired or expiring document validity.
- The company you are working in is shown in the header; if you work for more than one, you switch it there as well.
- A red bar above the header means the portal cannot read data from your company’s EDISON - rosters, waybills and payslips will not load while it is there. It is not a fault in the portal: the rest of the app keeps working and your company’s IT restores the connection. More in the Connecting to EDISON section on the Company page.
The dashboard on the phone
After signing in, the dashboard appears - tiles for the individual modules. You only see tiles for the modules the company has enabled and that you have permission to use.
- A tile carries the number of items waiting for your response - unread and unconfirmed news items and documents, unread replies in your Messages threads, surveys to fill in, unfinished service inspections, and expired or expiring document validity.
- Modules of the same name for line transport and public transport services (Driver’s Schedule, Dispatcher’s Schedule / Dispatch Sheet, Shift Exchange) are distinguished not only by colour but also by an AD / MHD tag in the corner of the tile.
- Long-pressing a card in the module lists copies its contents to the clipboard.
- On a tablet the screen width fits more tiles per row than you have set - the setting determines their size.
- Above the tiles is the name of the company you are working in. If you work for more than one company, it carries an arrow and a tap switches the company - without signing out.
- A red bar below the top bar means your company’s EDISON is not responding and no data will load from it - just as on the web, it is not a fault in the app or the phone; your company’s IT restores the connection. Company administrators additionally see a yellow or red bar about the server certificate. The bar appears on every screen and disappears on its own.
App information and settings
In the top right there is a profile icon - tap it to see information about the signed-in user and the connection. On this screen you can:
- open the online guide - a button linking to this website (EDISONKA only; in the portal the guide sits under the question mark in the header),
- sign out and sign in again (for example under a different account),
- switch company - tap the Company row (EDISONKA only, and only if you have more than one company; on the web you switch the company in the header),
- set the app theme - light / dark / following your phone’s settings (EDISONKA only),
- set the app language - Čeština / Slovenčina / English / Polski / following your phone’s settings (EDISONKA only); we will add further languages as demand arises,
- set the number of tiles per row on the dashboard - 1 / 2 / 3 on a phone (on a tablet the switch shows the actual number of columns for that screen; EDISONKA only),
- turn the newsletter by e-mail on or off - a message from M-line software about what is new in the app; company administrators get it automatically, others turn it on themselves, and every newsletter has an unsubscribe link,
- view the change log for the individual versions (EDISONKA only) - in the language the app is switched to,
- find out the app version and the state of your company’s EDISON (EDISONKA only) - an orange dot next to the version means a newer one is in the store, next to EDISON that it is waiting for an update and some new features do not work,
- change your password - on the phone only employees get the button, a portal user changes it on the web,
- send feedback (EDISONKA only) - it goes through the Messages module: if you have access to it, the app offers to open it straight away; otherwise it tells you to ask your EDISON administrator for access.
On the web you can also set the language, light or dark appearance and font size (compact / normal / large) under the user icon in the header. Your choices are remembered in the browser. The same menu turns the newsletter by e-mail on or off; this choice belongs to your account and applies in EDISONKA too.
