When you first open the AVEVA Recipe Management website, you are redirected to the Login page for authentication.

Select any of the following option as shown in the screenshot:

• Windows integrated login: The User name and Password boxes are not available and it takes the currently logged on Windows user name and password for authentication.

  When you click the Windows Integrated login option for the first time, the User name & Password boxes are disabled and if you click the Login button, a dialog box appears asking for your credentials. In order to prevent this dialog box from appearing, make sure you follow the steps mentioned in the Enabling Integrated Windows Authentication topic for a smooth and continuous login experience.

• Login with credentials: Enter a valid user name and password to log on to AVEVA Recipe Management. After successful authentication, you are logged on to AVEVA Recipe Management.

  

  NOTE: The browser will not save the password even if the browser settings are configured to save the password. You must enter the user name and password whenever you want to log on to AVEVA Recipe Management.

Enabling Integrated Windows Authentication

You must make the following changes in your browser settings so that there is a smooth and continuous login experience for the current logged on user:

For example, if you are using Internet Explorer, do the following:

• Go to IE Options > Security > Trusted Sites > Custom Level and then select “Automatic log on with current user name and password”.

  NOTE: If you are using Chrome or Edge, it will automatically update the modified settings from Internet Explorer.

If you are using Firefox, do the following:

1. Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar. A warning message appears.

2. Click the Proceed button.

3. Use the Filter field to search for the ‘network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris’ configuration parameter.

4. Double-click the name of the configuration parameter.

5. Enter the URLs of the sites you want to enable NTLM authentication for in the form: https://<MachineName>

Once the above browser settings are completed, you can close the browser and open the AVEVA Recipe Management application.

With these changes in place, when you select ‘Windows Integrated login’ option and then click the Login button, the browser automatically uses current logged in user credentials and lets you login into the application without providing the credentials again.

Working with AVEVA Recipe Management User Interface

The Execution page appears when you log on to AVEVA Recipe Management if you have permissions to execute Recipes or download Formulas. Otherwise, the first screen that opens after logging on to AVEVA Recipe Management depends on the permissions that you have. To show the Main menu, click the Menu icon in the top left of the screen.

The Main menu slides in from the left.

The options visible on the Main menu are determined by the role you have been assigned as well as by the license that has been activated. For example, a supervisor may see all the options, whereas an operator may only see two or three options. For more information on Roles, see Working with Roles.

Two editions of AVEVA Recipe Management are available if you are using v2.0 or later:

• AVEVA Recipe Management Standard Edition – Formula Management and Download

• AVEVA Recipe Management Professional Edition – AVEVA Recipe Management and Execution in addition to the functionality provided by the Standard Edition

You can navigate to the option you want from the Main menu. Some options have a page that summarizes all the items available. This summary page consists of "tiles" or "grid rows" depending on the Summary view selection. Each tile or grid row in the Summary page shows information about an existing entity that you selected.

NOTE: You are always returned to the summary page when you navigate from one menu to another.

The following illustration is the layout of the tile-view summary screen.

From the summary page, you access the details page by clicking the Add icon to create a new item, or by clicking an item in the tile view or grid view.

The details page is where you do all the work with the specific item, such as:

• View Version and Upgrade difference

• Check out, Check in, or Undo Check out of the item

• Add parameters

• Change the item's state

• Upgrade the item

• Set Keywords

• View Audit Trail for the entity changes

The following illustration is the layout of the details screen.
