Getting Started

This page contains some help to get started using the Flexibility Information System Portal.

Authentication

Prior to any other possible action, you must authenticate in the portal. The only page you can access as an anonymous user is the login page, automatically showed the first time you reach the URL where the system is hosted.

Login page

When you click on the SIGN IN button, you will be redirected to an external identity provider at Oracle Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) to authenticate.

Oracle Cloud IAM login page

Here, you must enter your credentials. These are the test credentials you have received by e-mail from us. The username is a fictive personal id (fødselsnummer) and the password is what you created when you activated the account. Once done, you will be redirected back to the portal as an authenticated user.

Assume a party

Once logged in, you can access to the dashboard, a welcome page containing some important information and links, but you can also access the documentation for instance, and the Assume Party page, which is where you will be redirected by default after logging in :

Assume Party page

On this page, you must choose a party in the list and click ACT ON BEHALF OF THIS PARTY. Finally, you will be redirected to the dashboard.

For more detailed information about authentication, please head to the dedicated documentation page.

User interface of the Flexibility Information System

Here is an example of resource page on the information system :

Flexibility Information System UI

The user interface of the system is organised as the following :

1. Navigation menu

This menu can be used to switch between the various resources you may want to interact with.

2. Breadcrumbs

This component is here to help you identify better where you are currently standing in the hierarchy of the information system, and allow you to jump back to the parent pages by clicking one of the links in the chain.

3. Resource information

This section can vary according to the type of page you are looking at. The example page is listing some records, but other pages allow creating, viewing or editing individual records.

4. User menu

This menu is there to remind you of who you are logged in as, and which party you are acting as. The party can be changed by clicking on the right-most component and going back to the Assume Party page.
