Find your way around the console
The console is where you connect devices, describe what they should do and watch them do it. It has three workspaces: Manage to set up, Build to design, Operate to fly and watch.
Before you begin
- A console account. Your administrator creates it, or you sign in through your organization's own sign-in.
- The address of your console.
Sign in
Enter your email
Open the console, enter your email address and select Continue.
Sign in
If your organization uses its own sign-in, the console sends you there and brings you back. Otherwise enter your password and select Sign in.
Invalid email or password. means the address or password is wrong. Could not reach the platform. means the console can't reach the platform at all: tell your administrator.
Home
Home shows the three workspaces side by side, each with a live summary. Every number and line opens the page behind it.
| Workspace | Is for | Shows on Home |
|---|---|---|
| Manage | Devices, sites, settings, access and alerts. | Whether the platform runs, how many devices are online, anything that needs attention. |
| Build | Skills, Applications and their runs. | Runs in the last 24 hours, the latest failures, what changed recently. |
| Operate | The live map, video, remote control, media and schedules. | What is running, which aircraft are in the air, what runs next. |
Select Open to enter a workspace. Inside, Workspace at the bottom of the sidebar switches between them, and Home below it brings you back.
The top bar
The top bar is the same on every page.
| Item | Does |
|---|---|
| Gear | Stream settings. Leave them empty unless your administrator gives you a video address. |
| Speaker | Mutes or unmutes every console sound. |
| Clock | The current time and date. |
| Live feed | Opens the live feed. A red dot means something is running now. |
| Bell | Your alerts. Mark all read, or View incident timeline for the history. |
| Your initials | Your email and role, and Log out. |
When a run waits for someone to approve, an amber Approval needed button joins the top bar, and a banner with Review it appears above the page. See Ask for approval before acting.
The live feed
The live feed is a side panel with everything going on, on whatever page you are.
- Up next: the next scheduled runs.
- Running now: every run in progress and the step it is on.
- Feed: what just happened. Filter it to Executions, Approvals, Safety, Assets or System.
What you have now
- You know where everything lives.
- You notice when something needs you, from any page.
