Enter/Manage Operators

In order to track the performance of each possible operator performing the feeding activities, in this section it is possible to create and edit operators.

The way the operators identification works is different for scales used with the TAP Feed mobile app compared to the actual display used during the feeding process.

  • The operator identification using the TAP Feed mobile app can be managed by binding a TAP user to an operator and the operator has to use his own credentials for the Feed App login and this way the feeding data is stored with the corresponding operator
  • On a display the userid option needs to be activated and a unique ID is assigned to each operator which needs to be entered before the feeding starts. The ID to be entered by the operator is the 'Operator ID' in TAP Feed.
From the main menu, select “Manage” and then select “Operators”.
  1. Click “+ New Operator” to add a new operator.

First select if the operator requires TAP Feed login credentials or will be using the TAP Feed mobile app. If either one is true, select 'YES'. If this does not apply to the new operator, choose 'NO'. Based on the choice made, the next step will be displayed.

YES: Select the TAP user created for this operator or create a new user. 
  • If no TAP user has been created for this operator yet, you can do so by choosing 'ADD NEW USER'.

NO: The operator is not linked to a TAP user and the next step shown is where the name of the user can should be entered.
