The sections below detail enhancements that will be deployed to acumen on Sunday 31 January 2021.
Users will need to clear the Chrome Browser cache (hard re-load) in order that the changes made to acumen function correctly. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the FAQ page.
The relevant User Guide pages will be updated in due course.
New Functionality
IRC Tab
An Internet Relay Chat (IRC) tab has been introduced to be tested by acumen superusers across the trial sites.
The IRC tab is a chat messaging feature, to assist communication between docker users.
The IRC MUST NOT be used for safety critical communications.
Activating the IRC
The IRC requires activating separately to the general docker log-in. Initially the screen is shown as per the image below:
A Nick(name) is generated based on the user role.
The Channel defaults to the docker location but for superuser testing please use the #General channel.
To activate, click Start.
IRC Features
To send a message in the chat, type next to your username at the bottom of the screen.
Channels
The left-hand banner lists the channels you as a user have access to. This would typically be the #General channel and the docker-specific channel e.g. #KingsCross.
A channel with a particular user can be created by selecting their username and clicking the Send a message button that appears in the right-hand pane.
Active Users
The IRC has been introduced to help signalling teams understand which station roles are active on acumen and vice versa. To support this, users can choose to set their status as Away. To do this, click on the arrow next to your nickname at the bottom of the screen, and select Away. Your status indication will turn red.
Clicking on the people icon in the top right shows what users are active within the chat.
