Admin User Guide

In IronSight an Admin manages the account data, such as users, companies, locations, and resources. By the end of this guide you’ll know about all the account data setup needed to run IronSight

Table of Contents:

Required Account Data

Jobs in IronSight have core fields which pull from your data to ensure the activities that take place on the job happen at the right place, with the right people and tools needed.  Those core fields are populated from your account data:

Divisions - Separate your operations by areas of responsibility, such as operations or maintenance. This helps you filter jobs, resources, and operators.
Connections - These are people you do business with, clients, service providers, vendors and business partners.  
Locations - All of your work sites or points-of-interest.
Resource Types - A vehicle type or trade, such as a Vac Truck or an Electrician, that can complete jobs.
Services - Types of work that a given resource can perform. For example, a 'Cleanup' service is done by a 'Vac Truck' resource.
Resources - A vehicle number in your fleet or a role on your field team. Resources get assigned to a job along with an operator
Inventory Types - The type of inventory that needs to get moved by a resource for the job.  Such as Sales Oil or Produced H2O.
Cost Centers - A cost object to which costs may be charged for accounting/tracking purposes.
Forms - Extra details that need to be filled out with certain jobs or at certain locations, such as Production Accounting Forms, Checklists or JSA's
Users - The people who need access to the account, internal and external to your company.
 

You’ll need some options to appear in the job’s core fields before you can click Save and create a new job.

 2024-02-13_14-15-22-gif

 

 

Important note: You can give your Partner companies the responsibility of stewarding their own users, units, and jobs. When you add a Partner Admin, they will get limited access to your hub where they can add/manage only their own company’s data.

For example: Internal Admin from Oil Co. can add a Partner Admin from Vendor Co. This Partner Admin would log into the hub, and start adding units and users that belong to Vendor Co. They will not be able to to see users, units, or jobs that belong to another company.
