The first step to work with ARIS, once the software is properly downloaded, installed and executed (see ARIS:Installation and Upgrades), is for the user to identify themselves. This is done through the use of a username and password, personal for each individual.

To gain access to the application, the individual's username, unique for every user, must be typed out on the top box, where it is indicated. Then, the password corresponding to the username used must be typed out in the box below. Once all the information is filled in, the log in now orange button must be pressed, and if the information provided is correct, the screen will show the main page of the app. If the username or password is incorrect, a red information box will pop up above the log in now button.

General features

Arrow

This downward arrow is present when there is a choice between options, instead of needing a written down response. The user could filter the options by writing down normally in the box. The options displayed can be manipulated through the Configuration functionality.

Asterisk

The red asterisk represents a mandatory field. In other words, if a box contains an asterisk, it must be filled in order to keep doing the desired task. The current action in progress will not conclude until all of the corresponding fields are filled.

Details

This button is found on the patients and requests functionalities. When the icon is clicked, a form pops up on the screen with the basic information on the patient or the request and, underneath, there are tabs displaying further information.

Edit

File:Editpatient.PNG This button allows the user to edit any information regarding patients, requests or configurations. At the bottom of the page, there is a cancel editing button on the left and a save changes button on the right.

Delete

This button is generally found in the Configuration functionality. It allows the user to delete information from the app, such as the regions displayed in the creation of patients. Not everything is deletable. For example, it is not possible to delete patients, requests or users.

Search bar

There is a search box at the top of most of the forms that contain tables with lists of elements, like the search patients or create requests tabs. This search box allows the user to filter by different fields like name, phone, health facility ID, creation date or last modification date. To choose one of these, the user must click on the downwards arrow found to the right of search field and pick the desired field (this possibility is not available if the table contains only one column to be searched). Once the field is chosen, the user can type the information corresponding to the search field in the box on the left.

There is a system parameter that establishes the minimum number of elements required for the search box to be shown (i.e., tables with a small number of elements may not require a search functionality).

Navigation bar

Sidebar found on the left side of the interface

Language

The language in use is displayed in the top right corner of the page, the user is able to change it depending on their preference by clicking on the text and choosing the language desired. There are currently two options of language for this app; English and Spanish.

Profile

When clicking on this icon, found in the top right corner of the page, two options will show up. The first, is the log-out option, when pressing on this option, the page will change to the log in page, through which the user will be able to change the account they are using. The second icon called change password will produce a pop-up page when clicked, where the user might change their password.

Change password

There are two ways of changing the password associated with the username.

1. The password can be changed by the user. All they have to do is press on the profile icon, click on change password, and a screen will come up with the title Change password. Next, the user must just fill in the required boxes with their current password, their desired password and, finally, repeat their new password.
2. Another method to change the password would involve accessing the system administration functionality and going to the users tab. Once in this tab, the user can choose a patient, and click on edit patient. Then, at the bottom of the page, the user is able to find two non-obligatory fields named password and repeat password. These must be filled in order to change the password.

Bluetooth

When this icon is clicked, the system will start listening from the Bluetooth connection of the computer, and the user will be able to connect their personal device to ARIS. This is used to transfer images from the mobile app in case of automatic tests. When Bluetooth is active, the icon will turn orange. On clicking again, the system will stop listening.

Sidebar

The sidebar contains information about the user's account and is a tool for navigation between the different functionalities of the app.
At the very top of the orange sidebar, the software's name is displayed in a bold white font.

Just below the title, there is a small box that informs the user of the account currently in use, by means of the user's name and role corresponding to this username.
