PLANT OPERATIONS PORTAL

Daily Operations Report · User Guide
Viewer · Admin
1. Welcome

The Plant Operations Portal gives you a single, mobile-friendly place to check the plant's daily performance — safety man-hours, production, stock levels, and sales by customer — and, if you're an admin, to enter or bulk-upload each day's figures.

ViewerCan log in and read the daily report, and switch between dates. Cannot add or edit data, and doesn't see the Manage Users option.
AdminEverything a Viewer can do, plus adding daily entries, bulk-uploading CSV files, and managing user accounts.
2. Logging In
  1. Go to the portal's login page.
  2. Enter either your email address or your username (for example, "TM24") in the "Email or Username" field.
  3. Enter your password.
  4. Click "Sign In."

Your session is kept for 30 days on that browser ("Stay logged in"), so you shouldn't need to log in again every time unless you explicitly log out or clear your browser's cookies.

No self-service password reset
There's currently no "Forgot Password" option in the portal. If you're locked out, ask your admin to reset your account.
3. The Main Menu

After logging in, you'll see the Main Menu with a short list of options:

Tap the logout icon in the top-right corner of this screen at any time to sign out.

4. Reading the Daily Operations Report

Tap "Operations Report" from the Main Menu. The report opens on today's date — or, if nothing has been recorded for today yet, it automatically shows the most recent day that does have data, so you always land somewhere useful.

What's on the page

HSE Man-Hours bannerA running man-hours-without-incident style safety figure for the plant.
Production tablePlant Rate, PTA Production, and Silo Adjustment, each with Daily / MTD / Plan columns and a Total row.
MTD Production TrendTap this card to expand a line chart of daily production so far this month.
Stocks tablePTA, PX, AA, and Trading AA quantities across each storage location, with a Total row.
Sales tableEvery customer's Daily, MTD, and Plan (monthly target) sales figures, with a Total row.
MTD Sales TrendTap this card to expand a line chart of daily sales so far this month.
5. Understanding Daily, MTD, and Plan

Because MTD adds up as the month goes on, it's normal for it to be far larger than the Daily figure by the middle or end of the month — that's the running total working as intended, not an error.

6. Turning On Notifications

Tap the bell icon in the top-right of the report header and allow notifications when your browser asks. Once enabled, the app checks every 30 seconds for new data; if something's been saved since you opened the page, you'll get a "📊 Data Updated!" notification and the page refreshes automatically so you're always looking at the latest figures.

7. Admins: Adding a Daily Entry

From the Report screen, tap "Add Entry" at the bottom of the screen. Pick the date at the top, then fill in whichever of the three tabs you have figures for:

OpsHSE Man Hours, Plant Rate, Prod Daily, Plan Target, Silo Adjustment.
StockPTA (Warehouse & Silo), PX (EVTL & Plant), AA (EVTL & Plant), Trading AA (EVTL & Chempro).
SaleFor each customer: an actual sales figure and a plan/target figure.

Tap "SAVE DATA" when you're done. You don't have to fill in every field every time — anything left blank keeps whatever was saved before, so it's perfectly fine to, say, update just today's production numbers in the morning and add the sales figures later in the day without re-entering everything else.

8. Admins: Bulk Uploading a CSV File

If you have several days of figures ready in a spreadsheet, it's faster to upload them all at once instead of typing each day in by hand.

  1. From the Data Entry screen, tap "Upload Bulk Data (Excel)."
  2. Choose your CSV file — one row per day, with dates in either YYYY/MM/DD or DD/MM/YYYY format.
  3. Click "Upload." You'll see a message telling you how many days were successfully imported.
  4. Tap "Back" to return to the Data Entry screen once you're done.
Check with your admin/IT team before using the CSV template
There's a known mismatch between the sample template file and what the current upload tool expects, which can cause figures to be saved against the wrong column without any warning on screen. Confirm you have the current, correct template before doing a bulk upload — ask IT if you're not sure.
9. Frequently Asked Questions

The report opened to a date I didn't expect.
If today has no HSE man-hours recorded yet, the report automatically shows the most recent day that does. Use the date picker to jump to any specific day you need.

I forgot my password.
There's no self-service reset — ask your admin to reset your password for you.

I don't see "Add Entry" or "Manage Users."
Those options only appear for Admin accounts. If you need to enter data and only have a Viewer account, ask an admin to upgrade your role.

A number on the report looks wrong.
Double-check whether you're looking at Daily, MTD, or Plan (Section 5) — mixing these up is the most common source of confusion. If the figure still looks wrong after that, contact whoever last entered the day's data, since manual entries and CSV uploads both keep old values for anything left blank, so an old value can persist if a field is accidentally skipped.

My bulk upload didn't look right afterward.
This can happen if the CSV file's columns don't line up with what the upload tool expects (see the warning in Section 8). Contact IT before re-uploading.
