Tape Timestamp User Scenario Comment
  00:02:13 Jon 1 Sue explains the lab
  00:02:37 Jon 1 Jon reads intro to lab
  00:03:23 Jon 1 This part has already been done for me?
  00:04:03 Jon 1 I am assuming the person who logged in had the appropriate security for (product)
  00:04:36 Jon 1 This looks a bit different. The severity field has changed - it's nice.
  00:06:00 Jon 1 Why is it that some are grayed out and some are white? I almost would have thought I would have been queried for a user name and password
  00:06:24 Jon 1 What if I was to walk away from my desk?
  00:07:51 Jon 1 I thought for a second that I could use the scroller on the mouse.
  00:08:38 Jon 1 I guess since there is no way to highlight a particular section, you can't use the scroller
  00:09:40 Jon 1 clicked on the view event log
  00:10:01 Jon 1 looks like it's a log of 100 records
  00:10:39 Jon 1 looks like we've dropped a "t" - - truncated text, user clicking on it
  00:11:12 Jon 1 Looks like event logs from
  00:11:31 Jon 1 looks like that title bar isn't doing too well
  00:12:52 Jon 1 searching the logs
  00:13:49 Jon 1 moving on to Source MD
  00:14:09 Jon 1 ok looks like an explorer type view
  00:15:04 Jon 1 user accidentally exited out of whole entire system
  00:18:24 Jon 1 looks like the tool bar is different based on what is active
  00:19:27 Jon 1 now in Applications
  00:19:59 Jon 1 this is where we are looking for logix pro
  00:21:18 Jon 1 Now I'm looking at Guardian MD
  00:21:40 Jon 1 looks like an explorer type view
  00:22:58 Jon 1 Looking at settings screen
  00:23:43 Jon 2 starting softlogix 5
  00:24:39 Jon 2 I'm config now as per instructions on page 21
  00:25:26 Jon 2 now I am checking a plc out of source control
  00:27:04 Jon 2 The tool tip doesn't seem to be coming up, and I didn't memorize them
  00:29:27 Jon 2 ok now I can edit the ladder logic
  00:30:22 Jon 2 Sue - just as an aside - - lets make sure audit logging is on
  00:33:36 Jon 2 just reading about what changes I need to make to the ladder logic
  00:44:33 Jon 2 logix- thought I was missing something there. I couldn't get that window to close
  00:45:34 Jon 2 again no tool tips, but I'm guessing on icons
  00:47:39 Jon 2 looks like it was checked in and out a couple of times
  00:00:54 Jon 3 tape restart after Sue gets section three
  00:02:18 Jon 3 I'm gonna maximize the search screen so that I can see all of this
  00:02:50 Jon 3 I'm wondering if this search is case sensitive
  00:03:51 Jon 3 ok - so the instructions are out of sequence
  00:04:35 Jon 3 * I probably just lost all of that information cause I clicked overview
  00:05:29 Jon 3 *It would be nice if there was a pull down here.
  00:06:13 Jon 3 the font for the search summary seems to be entirely different
  00:06:32 Jon 3 again I would expect the mouse scroll to work
  00:07:10 Jon 3 most recent is at the top
  00:08:26 Jon 3 do you think the and check box is clear?
  00:13:29 Jon 3 now I'm searching for change notifications - ok, think I'm getting ahead of myself
  00:14:22 Jon 3 again it would be nice to have pull downs to avoid typos - like that one
  00:17:21 Jon exit interview separate out tasks and explanations in the lab
  00:18:07 Jon exit interview *the function of the and/or is interesting
  00:20:01 Jon exit interview I was looking for my own computer in the overview screen
  00:22:08 Jon exit interview side pane - yeah you could stack the panes to have them throughout
  00:27:22 Jon exit interview * think I'd rather see events on this side bar.
  00:30:22 Jon exit interview "Application" , "Launch Pad" I guess that works
  00:32:55 Jon exit interview would you make a distinction btwn MD and non MD applications? Uhm, I think it makes sense to keep them grouped separately.
  00:34:15 Jon exit interview It's really two separate collections of tools
  00:35:19 Jon exit interview since logix is an application is being monitored - it's a tool in my tool box
  00:36:21 Jon exit interview my mind is breaking it down there
  00:38:56 Jon exit interview an audit as apposed to an edit log? Audit makes sense
  00:45:04 Jon exit interview As for icons - the logs, overview, reports, settings are ok. The repository and applications icons are not as clear.
  00:48:52 Jon exit interview So people have to run it on the floor with their security exposed?
  00:50:17 Jon exit interview It would be nice to drive the overview screen as a screen saver - then when you hit any key you'd have to log into NT and (product)
  00:51:03 Jon exit interview I'd like to see this implemented with a lot of thin client and use it with PanelView Plus
  00:52:20 Jon exit interview If you had the ability to access (product) through PanelView, that would be an easy way to access without distributing new hardware.
  00:56:35 Jon exit interview we sell over 90 thousand, if you have thin client capabilities - a lot of people could access it.
  00:57:26 Jon exit interview we'd also like to have panel builder as a MD tie in.
  01:03:15 Jon exit interview That's a big advantage because a lot of times maintenance people don't have the program

Tape Timestamp User Scenario Comment
  00:07:17 John & Wes 1 the tool bar across the top should be along the side
  00:07:30 John & Wes 1 lab - screen capture missing
  00:07:52 John & Wes 1 lab- says source MD instead of repository
  00:08:53 John & Wes 1 I'd like to be able to shrink down the messages
  00:09:14 John & Wes 1 maybe details as separate area
  00:10:29 John & Wes 1 this side pane should be called navigation menu instead of "Logs"
  00:11:28 John & Wes 1 there must be a nicer way to shrink the navigation
  00:11:54 John & Wes 1 I'd like to see icons with tool tip text instead of icons and text
  00:13:27 John & Wes 1 lab- confused if they need to do something - I'd like to be able to do something instead of just look
  00:14:45 John & Wes 1 john clicking around
  00:15:46 John & Wes 1 right click to remove
  00:16:28 John & Wes 1 it's a little like (product) - central navigation
  00:18:54 John & Wes 1 I would want to be able to drag and drop from the desktop into the "applications" launch pad
  00:19:31 John & Wes 1 bug - menu crashes when you resize
  00:25:27 John & Wes 2 general comment - checking program out, not going to be common for these users.
  00:32:12 John & Wes 2 this whole process - don't want to give plc directions on details. Maybe give it to them both ways. they can get detail of they need it
  00:35:12 John & Wes 2 you are demonstrating (product), don't want to spend lots of time read
  00:40:42 John & Wes 2 I'm not sure what I did
  00:41:05 John & Wes 2 I think the point is that it's keeping track of all of our edits
  00:41:33 John & Wes 2 I'm sure this is very valuable to someone
  00:43:18 John & Wes 2 I would want to make these source control comments while I'm in the edit sessions
  00:43:55 John & Wes 2 It's difficult to keep track of everything
  00:44:54 John & Wes 2 you need a floating sticky note as you are working
  00:45:31 John & Wes 2 even if it captures what you did - it doesn't know why you did it
  00:48:28 John & Wes 3 these should be drop downs with commonly used entries
  00:51:11 John & Wes 3 what does default mean?
  00:52:51 John & Wes 3 is there a priority for these messages? can I sort? if there is a hierarchy
  00:53:07 John & Wes 3 is this a flat list of items?
  00:58:26 John & Wes 3 lab- screen capture shows logix instead of guardian
  00:58:58 John & Wes 3 I really like the color code
  00:59:33 John & Wes 3 I'd still really like to have a hierarchical collapse
  01:00:13 John & Wes 3 are these supposed to be printed - people will complain about big blocks of color
  01:00:46 John & Wes exit comments i like the functionality - needs some ui work
