User scope:

Currently, accounts are managed on a per-vessel basis. That means that we do not yet synchronize your account across the various CORIOLIX vessel specific deployments. So, if you want to use more on CORIOLIX user interface, Endeavor and Oceanus for example, you will need to create an account on both systems.

We do synchronize account information between the ship side CORIOLIX installation and the shoreside CORIOLIX installation. So, you only need to have one account per vessel. You will use the same username and password for accessing CORIOLIX on the ship as you would on the shore.

Creating an account for the first time:

Browse to the CORIOLIX site relative to the vessel you are interested in:

From the shoreside:

From the shipside:

From the navigation options at the top of the page, select: My Account > Create New Account

Complete the User Profile setup form and select the Submit button. Note the email and password that you used. You'll use these credentials to access CORIOLIX.

Setting up your user specific alerts:

From the site navigation options select: My Account > My Alerts

There are currently four alert types:

  • Custom User Alerts - Custom alerts work by evaluating sensor parameter value against a threshold condition. You may combine up to two sensors or sensor parameters per custom alert.
  • Proximity Alerts - Proximity alerts evaluate the location of the vessel against geographic points of interest (stations, ports, etc.)
  • Temporal Alerts - Temporal alerts evaluate the time now against a datetime parameter for a sensor (e.g. calibration date, warranty expiration date, schedule maintenance data, etc.) that you want to monitor. Users may set an additional parameter, offset, to receive advance notice of a pending event.
  • Sensor Alerts - Explanation TBD

Place a check next to any alerts (in the alert table) that you would like to receive. Existing alerts may be edited using the "Edit" button. New alerts may be created by using one of the "Create New" buttons.

When your selections have been made, click the "Subscribe to Selected Alerts" button to update your subscriptions.
