FOCUS User Manual
Different symbols are used to indicate the current status of the action that is being executed, these
are:
Request data from the controller is pending.
Send data to the controller is pending.
Send/request data is in progress.
Send/request data has encountered errors.
Send/request data has been completed successfully.
Send/request data has been cancelled by the user.
Send/request data is not required, e.g no AVI channels are setup, etc.
Send/request data has been disabled.
Send/request data is not supported by this version of controller software.
When configuration data has been changed the node cannot be exited until the changes have been
either cancelled or Saved/Sent. If an attempt is made to change nodes, or exit, without saving
changes a confirm dialog will be displayed. Click 'Yes' to return to the node and automatically Save/
Send the changes, or 'No' to cancel all changes.
Each node provides different editing controls depending on functionality, please refer to the
appropriate help section for more details. When working offline from the controller the data can only
be saved to the database, therefore in some cases, where the data is not stored in the database,
editing is disabled.
Just about all functionality can be accessed a number of ways, through a menu system located at
the top of the application, using a pop-up menu activated by right-clicking on an item, or using the
many shortcut keys provided.

Login
The Forecourt Configuration application requires a valid user to login on startup. Enter a valid user
name and password to login to the Forecourt Configuration application. Only the password is case
sensitive. The user name of the last user to login is displayed.
The initial default login after installation is:

The Setup Utility is used to manage users used by the Forecourt Configuration application.
3.1.2
Templates
The Forecourt Configuration implements the concept of configuration templates. This is a powerful
feature that allows a configuration to be saved as a template and applied later. For example when
commissioning sites of different two companies the grade setups may be different between the
companies but the same within each company, a grade template can be saved for each company
and then applied appropriately.
Currently templates can be saved for grades, tanks, dispensers, auxiliary devices, PCC timers,
UPIs, Units, OPT settings, FPoS program, and AVI channels.
