System Architecture
PNR Watcher is made up of three components -
* The agent desktop - this application has no user interface but integrates into the Windows desktop, displaying the alerts screen and opening the documents and web pages defined in the actions
* The database - a repository for all the rules/action data
* The admin tool - that allows you to create/delete/modify the rules stored in the database. It is the User Interface to the database. This user guide will detail how to use the PNR Watcher Administration application.
The PNR Watcher system consists of 4 main data modules:
1. Rules
2. Departments
3. Tables
3. Users
Looking at each one in turn, it is important to remember that:
Rules - are assigned to one or more departments. Therefore you can create one rule that can cover two or more departments. Global (or Site) rules are create by making a rule applicable to all available departments.
Departments - reflect the configuration of your site. You may have one or many departments. You can use departments to have different rules for different sets of staff.
Tables - used to validate several values at once or provide a list for the "select from table" action.
Users - each user must be configured on the system with their Galileo sign on. Each user must be assigned to one department.
