Filter batches by group in the Job Monitor (Datacap Web Client)
In the Datacap Web Client, you can filter batches by groups in the Job Monitor based on your ADSI, LDAP, or LLLDAP group authentication.
The view of batches in Job Monitor can be restricted to batches that are assigned to a specific group. The application's rules determine the groups that can view the batch. Four steps must be completed to filter batches by group in the Job Monitor.
- You must set up your ADSI, LDAP, or LLLDAP group authentication in the Datacap Server Manager. If LLLDAP is used, the group-based authentication option must be used. For information on setting up LLLDAP group authentication, see LLLDAP group authentication
- A custom column must be defined in the tmBatch table in the Datacap Engine database. For information on defining a custom column, see Creating a custom column in the Job Monitor.
- The group names must be set up for filtering purposes by defining
a custom Job Monitor filter in the Application Manager. The two methods for
filtering are with exclusive groups and additive groups.
- You can define a maximum of 31 additive groups. Each user can be member of multiple groups and each batch can be assigned multiple groups. The user must belong to all of the groups that are assigned to the batch to view that batch.
- You can define up to 32,000 exclusive groups. Each user can be a member of only one exclusive group and a batch can be assigned to one filter group. You can create a supervisor group whose members can view all batches with exclusive filters.
- You must assign one or more groups to each batch to be filtered by adding a rule in Datacap Studio. When groups are assigned to a batch by this rule, the batch can be viewed in Job Monitor only by members of the assigned group.
The batches that you run by selecting can be limited by using additive group filters in the same way that those batches are limited in Job Monitor. You cannot use exclusive group filters to limit batches that are run when you select Run Shortcut.
