Form Admin

The Braincube Forms Server interface is the Form Admin. You can access it on your browser by typing on the address bar “IP:8080” with the Local IP of the computer where is installed the folder braincube-form.

By default, an administrator is created (Login : admin ; Password : admin). Change it at your first connection.

An administrator can access to 6 tabs :

  • USERS : create / modify / delete Users
  • SERVERS: create / modify / delete servers by specifying which Braincube is needed according to your data form
  • REPOS : create / modify / delete repository for the static files on your network which be attached to your form
  • CERTIFICATE / PROXY : add / delete certificate and associated password and manage proxy to access the API
  • BUILDER : create a form directly added in the form folder
  • FORMS : list / modify / delete the forms created and saved in the form folder, with a link to view them on the Form Viewer

He can also configure the settings in Header :

  • Configure session timeout for all users.

Users

Two types of users :

  • Admin : access to administration interface with all the tabs (Users / Servers / Repos / Certificate / Builder / Forms)
  • Users : only access to the forms.

A login and a password are needed to create a user:

It is possible to change the password, the status, or to delete a user.

Note: if all the administrators are deleted, the “admin” by default is regenerated with the admin password.

Servers

They need to be created to have data from braincube on the form :

  1. name used on the parameters of the input
  2. Name of the braincube customer that you can find on the URL: for exemple "demo" for https://demo.mybraincube.com
  3. Data source is the memory base to link to the form : MB Id with the prefix mb. In the example, the Id of the MB is 20, so Data source will be “mb20”
  4. Choose the data type : Braincube or IOT

For example :

Repos

They need to be created if attached static files (.pdf, .txt …) are required on your form.

  1. Name used on the parameters of the input
  2. Path : path to the folder where are the files. This folder just need to be on the same network than braincube-form.
  3. Security : To define who is allowed to open the files of this folder (NONE : all, USER : users and administrators, ADMIN : only administrators)
