Dataloy offers two types of MFA for our customers.

1. MFA by integrating with the customer's Active Directory (AD) server.

The functionality with establishing a master role involves giving them access to only their relevant port calls. In order to establish this filter for the user we need to link their credentials to their particular vessel.

Pre requisite for below is that vessel has been created, user for the vessel has been created with security role "Vessel" (only this security role) and internal data tab should be enabled.

Step 1: Access vessel master data screen and insert vessel user in the "Master User" field as indicated below. This action will link the vessel to the user so that Crew only see their relevant port calls in the VMS

1. the user to disable.

2. Open the actions menuand click Disable User. This will prevent the user account from logging in.

3. The user can be found again by filtering on inactive users in the list.

For customers with OAuth 2.0 authentication, in Dataloy VMS, MFA can be set up with Auth0's Guardian app. This is an intuitive MFA solution that is easy to set up and use.

If you are uncertain if your VMS is set up with OAuth 2.0 authentication, please let us know, and we can check it for you. Send an email to support@dataloy.com

Dataloy will enable MFA on the installation/environment level forcing all users to log in using MFA in the environment it is configured for.

Once activated and configured, the users will be sent a "push-notification" that must be approved in the app. Simply click the "Allow" button, and you are securely logged in.

Setting up the Guardian app for the first time:

1. Log in using the system's "web" login screen.

   (The URL for this will be provided in case you use the Java version of the VMS)

2. Follow the instructions on the screen to install and configure the app.

3. You will scan the QR code shown on the screen with the app, so camera permissions on the phone must be permitted.

4. When finishing the set-up, a "push-notification" will be sent to your phone.

5. Click "Allow" to securely complete the configuration.

6. Log in to the application:

The Java-based version of the VMS:

1. Log out of the web-based version, as the configuration is now complete.

2. Start the system and log into the application as you normally do.

3. Click "Allow" when asked on your phone, and you are securely logged in to the Java-based VMS.

Overview

The settings on this page enable administrators to customize default behavior in VMS, e.g. Days extra in port controls the number of extra days automatically added to new port calls. Note that these system settings are applied globally to the environment, which means any change alters the functionality for all users (click for better view):

Breakdown of the available settings

• Share Voyage

  • When the setting is enabled, all estimate voyages may be edited by other users than the creator.

• Use cost from service orders

  • Allows automating the process of filling in port costs. If the option is enabled, the port cost will match the total amount among service orders linked to a port call.

• Use new invoice template

  • Allows you to choose between printing documents using the new invoice template, or the old one.

• Use port currency

  • Automatically sets the port cost currency to the local value. For example, a port call in Bergen will have the currency NOK.

• Auto post service orders - a group of settings

  • The system enforces automatic posting of documents that are created from a service order. For instance, if a service order contains multiple lines and the status of the service order changes to the specified status*, the related document lines will be combined into a posted document. This setting eliminates the need to manually select the service order document lines, assemble them into a document, and then post the document.

    • *Service order status - indicates the base status for enabling the auto-posting functionality. If a service order is changed to this status or higher, auto-posting will create documents for the existing linked document lines, and future lines.

    • Default payment term - specifies the default payment term used for auto-posted documents. Required for auto-posting to work.

    • Default baseline term - specifies the default baseline term used for auto-posted documents. Required for auto-posting to work.

• Days extra in port

  • This setting is used to specify the default number of days extra in port for each new port call.

• Percent extra at sea

  • Allows defining a value used to set percent extra at sea for each leg in the system.

• Previous port call count

  • Identifies the number of previous port call shown on each TC out voyage.

The System Settings module is available to all users with Administrator role under Setup -> System Settings, or directly through the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen.

You can then navigate to these tabs:

Widgets in the VMS are dynamic components that seamlessly integrate with the system drawers. They provide real-time or updated information without opening dedicated applications or navigating multiple screens. By leveraging external APIs or data from the VMS itself, widgets offer you quick access to relevant information at a glance.

One of the key features of widgets is their flexibility in terms of customisation and the possibility to perform complex data extractions. The appearance and behaviour of widgets are highly customisable, including adjusting parameters such as font size, colour, layout, and content display.

Creating a Widget

To create a widget, go to Setup -> Widgets, and at the top right, click Create -> Create Widget.

Contexts

In the "Contexts" step, choose a primary object type, like "Vessel". This object will be the source when querying data later. Contexts determine where widgets can be used. A widget can't be shown in a drawer without the context that links the widget's object type to the object in that location.

If a widget displays information about a vessel in the "voyage-drawer" context, the "object path" linking the voyage to the vessel would be vessel. This allows the widget to access vessel data in the voyage drawer.

Fields

Field names are displayed as column headers in a widget list, with values in rows. List field styles are fixed. In a widget card, field names act as labels followed by their values. Widget fields control how information is shown, either on a card or a list. You can customise the styles or use the defaults.

Field value data types

Ensuring that the "Value Data Type" matches the type of value in the data source is crucial for accurately displaying values.

Creating a widget data source

To create a widget data source, go to Setup -> Widgets, and at the top right, click Create -> Create Widget Data Source.

Data source information

A link to the "home page URL" address will be shown on the widget card. This is for reference only and doesn't affect data retrieval.

The "Widget" field connects the data source to a widget, and once selected cannot be changed unless the Widget is deleted.

Data source URL

The base URL and HTTP method form the starting point of the request's URL, with the parameterised URL template appended to it.

Authentication

Widget data sources support various authentication methods, including username/password and token-based systems like OAuth 2.0.

Parameters

After setting up the connection to the data source, you can customise data retrieval by adding parameters. These can be dynamically taken from the widget object or set as static values. Depending on your data source and request type, you can include these parameters in the URL path, request body, or HTTP headers. This flexibility allows for precise data fetching, fitting various scenarios and data source setups.

To create a dynamic filter value, enter a "Variable Name" and select an "Object Path". If the parameter type is set to "URL Parameter" or "Request Body", insert the variable placeholder into the template using the syntax {{variableName}}. When the widget loads, the placeholder will be replaced with the real value from the main object.

Field mapping

To populate your widgets with data from your source, use a JSONPath expression for each field that matches the desired data. Separate multiple JSONPaths with a semicolon (;) to combine results with a space.

To display multiple rows in a list widget, ensure the JSONPath result from your source is an array.

Examples

The JSONPath syntax supports powerful filtering and functions. For a more comprehensive understanding and examples of how JSONPath expressions are written, refer to the detailed examples in the official documentation.

When you have located a Security Role, click it and the details will show in a drawer on the right hand side. Details can be maintained directly in the fields/tree.

• By clicking the primary action icon it is possible to make a copy of the selected security role, a modal will open where you enter the name of the copy.

• By clicking the secondary actions icon (icon = 3 dots) additional actions may be possible.

  • Edit Security Role Name

  • Delete Security Role

In this page, you will find settings related to the invoicing and invoice printout. Below the settings, you can find a section for setting up labels and paths for the different "Selectable Fields" sections; a feature of the new invoice template.

General invoice settings

Selectable Fields

In Selectable Fields Below Header section, can choose up to 8 pairs of labels and object paths, while up to 4 pairs in Selectable Fields Below Document Lines section. The position of the labels and object paths are fixed, and can be referenced in the small preview picture in the blue area to the left. You can also read more about the invoice PDF itself here.

• If neither label nor object path is filled in, nothing will be printed in that position.

• If a value cannot be fetched from the object path, nothing will be printed in that position

• If no label is set, but a value can be fetched from the object path, only the fetched value will be printed in that position

Labels

Labels are fixed values for a given position that you can choose yourself, used to describe the value fetched from the object path.

Object paths

Object Paths are paths that describe the Dataloy API data-model, leading from object to object and terminating in a value. The object path starts from the Document object.

For instance, if you want to find and print the name of the vessel for a given document, you would do as follows. A Document have one or more DocumentLines. A DocumentLine is connected to a Voyage, which is connected to a Vessel. A Vessel has a VesselName. The final object path will thus be documentLines.voyage.vessel.vesselName.

To assist with setting up the object path, the Select Field modal is used.

The Select Field Modal

You can open this modal by clicking on the input field itself (which is non-editable), or click on this icon:

Both options will open up this modal:

Below the title, you can see the word document, which represents the root object of the modal. Meaning, you can search for anything inside the document object, or select one of the fields when scrolling up and down. You will quickly see that each sub-object will open up a new list of new objects again, e.g. Account will open up the possibility to choose Account Code, Account Desc, etc. You can also search on the objects within document > account, or scroll. Most of the valuable data is likely under document > documentLines.

You can also clear the the input field by clicking on this icon:

The icon is not visible until you have chosen a path first.
