The Go-Line Master data app records and presents data from a variety of sources (such as geofences, materials, operators, and more) in a single location.
Some master data (such as the manufacturer, model, and serial number for Devices) can only be added and edited in the Master data app.
To view the Master data app from GoLine, select the Master data app icon.
The various types of Master data (Activities, Delays, Devices and more) are accessible from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
Adding master data
To add master data to the database, select a page from the Master data menu on the left-hand side of the screen, then add your entry as needed.
You can follow the process described below to add master data to any of the master data sections, however the process of adding a Parent or Child to an entry only applies to the Activities, Delays, Geofences and Materials sections.
For example, to add a delay code:
-
Select Delays from the left-hand menu.
-
Click the Add icon at the top-right corner of the table.
Alternatively, click the Add icon in one of the rows in the table.
Clicking Add in a row adds a child entry to the existing entry. For example, if you click Add in a row named "Weather", the new delay will be placed in the Weather category, and will appear indented under this row.
This only applies for the Activities, Delays, Geofences, and Materials pages.
-
Enter the details for the new delay as needed, then click Save.
-
The Delay codes table updates to show the delay; the delay is also saved to the database.
Editing master data
To edit master data in the database, select a page from the Master data menu on the left-hand side of the screen, then edit your entry as needed.
You can follow the process described here to edit master data in any of the master data sections.
For example, to edit a delay code:
-
Select Delays from the left-hand menu, then click the Edit icon for a delay in the table.
-
Make changes as needed, then click Save to update the delay.
Disabling master data
To disable master data in the database, select a page from the Master data menu on the left-hand side of the screen, then disable your entry as needed.
You cannot delete master data as this might cause issues with historical data in the database; instead, master data is disabled. Disabling master data can remove information from the reports you generate in SQS, and from other exports SQS can create.
You can follow the process described here to disable master data in any of the master data sections.
Disabling master data can also remove important attributes from your organisation's SQS account.
For example, if a delay code is disabled, it will not be available for any shift planning. Further, if an operator is disabled, they will not be able to complete a pre-start routine in iVolve.
For example, to disable a delay code:
-
Select Delays from the left-hand menu, then click the Edit icon for a delay.
-
Clear the Enabled check box to disable the delay code, then click Save.
The delay code is disabled and removed from the default view of the Delay codes table.
Viewing and re-enabling disabled master data
You can view master data entries after they've been disabled, and also re-enable disabled entries.
You can follow the process described here to view and re-enable master data in any of the master data sections.
For example, to view and re-enable a disabled delay:
-
Select Delays from the left-hand menu, then select the Column Chooser icon in the top-right corner and clear the Enabled check box.
If the Enabled check box is selected, only enabled delays will be displayed. If the Enabled check box is cleared, both enabled and disabled delays will display.
-
Click the Edit icon of a disabled delay.
-
Select the Enabled check box to re-enable a disabled delay, then click Save.
If the Enabled check box is selected, the delay is enabled. If the Enabled check box is cleared, the delay is disabled.
Purging master data
A list purge forces any SQS device connected to your site's server to clear its current data and request new, updated data from your site server.
For example, a list purge can be used to clear all existing geofence data from every SQS display on site and replace this with new geofence data. Following a list purge, the next time an operator's in-cab SQS display connects to the server, it will automatically update to the new data.
A list purge only applies to the page where the List Purge icon is clicked. For example, if you click the icon on the Delays page, only the Delays data will be purged; all other master data pages will not be affected.
To implement a list purge, click the List Purge icon in the top-right corner of any master data page.
In the confirmation window that opens, click Purge; a notification will appear at the bottom of the screen stating a list purge is requested.
Importing master data
You can import data in bulk from a CSV spreadsheet into the Activities, Delays, Materials, and Operators sections of the Master data app. All other master data pages cannot import data in bulk.
You can follow the process here to import master data into any applicable master data section.
For example, to import Delays data:
-
Click the Import icon in the top-right corner of the table.
-
If this is your first time importing data, click Download CSV template to download a template of how the data must be uploaded to the Master data app, enter your data as needed, and save the file to your device.
In the "WorkingState" column, the following values apply:
-
0 = Any working state
-
1 = Working
-
2 = Non-Working
Do not leave any empty lines between entries.
-
Click Choose files to select the file for import from your device, then click Import.
A notification will display to inform you if the import is successful or unsuccessful. If the import is unsuccessful, review your data and try again.
If there are duplicated entries, a notification appears asking to overwrite or skip the duplicates; choose an option as needed.
The Activity, Delay, and Material import templates also support adding parent and child entries to the import.
For example, rather than adding each entry separately to the import file, then manually editing each child entry in GoLine to add it to its parent after it is imported, you can instead designate child and parent entries in the template and import them to GoLine with its formatting intact.
To add a child entry to a parent entry in the template, separate the entries with either a backslash (\) or an underscore (_) in the Name field.
For example, in the screenshot below, the "Dust" entry is a child to the "Weather" entry. You can also add a child entry to a child entry by following the same process and separating entries with a backslash or underscore.
This process does not work in any field other than the Name field.
You can only add one child to a parent entry in the import. For example, you cannot add both a "Dust" and a "Hail" child entry to the "Weather" parent entry in the screenshot below.
Making two parent entries with the same name (such as "Weather\Dust" and Weather\Hail") also will not work, and GoLine will only import the last entry.
You can add multiple child entries to a single parent entry after it is imported to GoLine.
