Basics

So you want to get started with Scipio ERP – that’s great! Perhaps we can make it all a bit easier for you. So here’s a list of the most common questions – feel free to click through at your own liking:
Login & Logout

To access the system, open up your web-browser and login. On a typical Scipio installation, all you need to do is to type in one of the following URLs. Please ask your system administrator for the “domain” the system is running on. If you happen to have a local installation running, use “localhost:8443” instead.

  1. Accounting 
    https://<domain>/accounting/
  2. Asset Maintenance 
    https://<domain>/assetmaint/
  3. CMS (coming soon) 
    https://<domain>/cms/
  4. CRM 
    https://<domain>/crm/
  5. Catalog Management (PIM) 
    https://<domain>/catalog/
  6. Human Resource Management (HR) 
    https://<domain>/humanres/
  7. Manufacturing 
    https://<domain>/manufacturing/
  8. Order Management 
    https://<domain>/ordermgr/
  9. User Management 
    https://<domain>/partymgr/
  10. Web-Shop 
    https://<domain>/shop/
  11. Facility & Warehouse Management 
    https://<domain>/facility/
  12. Admin (for developers & system administrators only) 
    https://<domain>/admin/

 

You should be greeted by a login form, like the following:

scipio-admin-login

The screen itself may differ depending on your installation, but don’t let this confuse you. Enter your login-credentials and you should be good to go. Ask your system administrator for your login details – if your company uses a centralized login system, you may already be authenticated, once you access the page. The login screen should not be visible then.

On a demo installation you can use:

 

 

 

username: admin

password: scipio

 

Language Selection

Once you have completed your work, it is important to log out of the system, so that nobody can mess with your account.

admin_menu

To logout, click on the User-Menu in the top-right corner of the screen and select “Logout” from the now visible menu. You should be signed off automatically and be transferred back to the login screen.

If you cannot find the menu, or have trouble finding the correct location, simply type in the following URL in your browser-bar:

https://<your-domain>/<application>/control/logout

 

Navigation

Finding your way around the software is super important. So to get to the right location efficiently, we have standardized our navigation throughout the system, as is pictured in the drawing above. Not pictured are the breadcrumbs and Messages, which will be displayed, depending on the screen.

Just by these groups we can easily distinguish between the following navigation options:

Theme Selection

Don’t like the look and feel of the system? Then perhaps a change of “themes” is the answer. Themes are essentially what determines the look-and-feel of the entire system. They determine how you navigate and how things are displayed. Scipio comes with a great variety of themes and it is quite easy to add your own. So perhaps, a different set of visuals is better suited for you.admin_menu

To change the visual themes, click on the User-Menu in the top-right corner of the screen and select “Visual Themes” from drop-down menu. From there, you can select the theme that fits you best.

If you cannot find the menu, or have trouble changing the language, simply type in the following URL in your browser-bar:

https://<your-domain>/<application>/control/ListVisualThemes

 

Language Selection

language-selection

The user language is determined by your account – and if it isn’t actively set, the system will make a guess based on your browser settings. All aspects of the applications can be localized and we are providing translations for the following languages:

  • Chinese
  • Dutch
  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Hindi
  • Italian
  • Portugese
  • Spanish

To change your current language, click on the User-Menu in the top-right corner of the screen and select “Language” from the now visible menu. From there, you can select the language of your liking.
admin_menu

If you cannot find the menu, or have trouble changing the language, simply type in the following URL in your browser-bar:

https://<your-domain>/<application>/control/ListLocales

Language-Select is available within all standard applications.

It is possible, that the way things are displayed, or the available languages may differ from our screenshots. In this case, please contact your system administrator about the available options for you.
