The 'Profile' page is where MachineMetrics users set up how they want to receive MachineMetrics notifications as well as their user account authentication settings. Each MachineMetrics user has complete control over their Profile page settings, and it is every user's responsibility to set up their own notification preferences and authentication settings. MachineMetrics cannot directly edit a user's profile settings and preferences, nor can other MachineMetrics account users. 

Accessing the Profile page

New users are taken directly to their Profile page after they accept their MachineMetrics account invitation. To navigate to the 'Profile' page any time after that initial session, click the account settings menu icon in MachineMetrics and select Profile from the application pull-down menu as shown below.

Profile Page Layout and Functions

The Profile page is divided into the following sections:

• Your Information
• Authentication

Your Information

In the Your Information section, you can edit the settings for how and when you want to receive MachineMetrics notifications as well as change how MachineMetrics data displays.

Name

The setting in the first and last Name fields will be pre-filled when you first access your Profile page based on the name that was used in your MachineMetrics invitation. If you make a change in this field, you must click the Update button at the bottom of the Your Information section to apply the change in the system.

Email

The setting in the Email field is the email address where MachineMetrics will send your notifications. The Email field will be pre-filled when you first access your Profile page based the email address that was used to send your MachineMetrics invitation. If you make a change in this field, you must click the Update button at the bottom of the Your Information section to apply the change in the system.

Mobile

The setting in the Mobile field is the cell phone number where you want MachineMetrics to send SMS text-based notifications. This field is left blank by default. if you want to receive text notifications on your cell phone, you must enter a phone number (XXX-XXX-XXXX) in this field that is capable of receiving SMS texts. If you make a change in this field, you must click the Update button at the bottom of the Your Information section to apply the change in the system.

International Numbers 

In order to receive notifications to your mobile device outside of the United States, you must use the E.164 formatting method. 

Please note: we do not force require the formatting, but in order to receive SMS text notifications to international numbers, the exact format below must be used.

E.164 phone number formatting entails the following:

1. A + (plus) sign
2. International Country Calling code
3. Local Area code
4. Local Phone number

Notify Me

The Notify Me field is used to select the communications method(s) MachineMetrics will use to send your notifications and the shifts during which you want to receive notifications.

Note: Before you can set up your notifications, the shifts your company will use in MachineMetrics must have been configured for your implementation. See "Determining Your Shift Logic Requirements" in the Company article for more information. 

 Setting Up Notifications

To set up your MachineMetrics notifications, do the following:

1. Select your desired notification method from the Notify Me pull-down menu. The options include:
   
   • Never receive notifications
   • Only receive notifications through SMS text messages
   • Only receive notifications through email
   • Receive both SMS text and email notifications
     
     
     
     
2. Once you select your notification method, the system will display a During table that contains the shifts which are configured for your MachineMetrics implementation:
   
   
   
   
3. Select the shift(s) during which you want to receive MachineMetrics notifications.
4. Click the Update button at the bottom of the Your Information section to apply the change in the system.

Edge Device Status

The Edge Device Status check box allows you to be notified the moment there is any communication issue between a MachineMetrics edge device in your environment and the MachineMetrics system. 

Note the following about this function:

• The MachineMetrics system is notified of any edge device connectivity issues immediately regardless of whether or not you choose to receive this notification.
• The most common events that impact edge device connectivity are issues impacting your local network such as power outages or a component being unplugged, often while a machine is being moved. 
• The Edge Device Status notification ignores your shift settings that you selected in the Notify Me field. If you select this check box, you will be notified 24/7 of edge device connectivity issues.

If you make a change in this field, you must click the Update button at the bottom of the Your Information section to apply the change in the system.

Shop Data

The Shop Data Anonymize function is used to manage how MachineMetrics displays information in the machine shop floor.

If you select the Anonymize check box, MachineMetrics information such as job names and part values will display in a randomized format, without identifying information. This function can be useful or necessary when the shop needs to conceal proprietary information from visitors. For example, a company may have a potential customer visiting on a tour of your shop floor, and may want to hide an existing customer's job names.

If you make a change in this field, you must click the Update button at the bottom of the Your Information section to apply the change in the system.  

Authentication

In the Authentication section, you can reset your password, authorize a Google account for login, or log your account out of all devices that are currently logged into MachineMetrics.

Google

In the Google field, the Authorize Google Login button allows you to authorize an existing Google email account that you want to use for logging into MachineMetrics. Using this function will change your previous account profile email address to your Google email address.

Email

The Email field displays the email address currently associated with your profile.

New Password

The New Password field allows you to reset your password to a new password. This must be done immediately after you accept your MachineMetrics invitation and can be done any time after that. All passwords must be at least eight (8) characters and contain at least one number, one lowercase letter, and one uppercase letter. 

Retype

The Retype field is used to re-enter and confirm your new password. The characters entered in this field must exactly match the characters you entered in the New Password field. You must click the Update Password button after filling in this field to update the MachineMetrics system with your new password.
