The Operations pages allow you to monitor the operational information from your system, and update some details while the system is in use. This includes running reports to understand the system in operation, and raising cases to fix infrastructure issues on behalf of your occupiers.

Analyze the operation of your system using detailed reports.
Raise Support cases with essensys, and view the progress of those cases. Note: These are your cases. They include requests, questions, and any infrastructure issues that the occupier may be experiencing at your site.
View monthly reports relating to billing for services and usage.
Create and view essensys products and pricebooks, and view infrastructure pricebooks.
Monitor tasks within the system, and raise cases where pending tasks are taking too long.
