Basic Setup

Welcome to ICM! You may be a new user or a contract administrator wanting to explore ICM. You are in the right place!

Log on to ICM

You must have account on ICM to use it. You should receive an account activation email with your account details once your ICM administrator creates it. This email will contain:

• Your username and temporary password

Setting your preferences

You can choose your language preference to navigate through ICM. You can also link multiple values of an Attribute as an Alias of each other. It can be done through Alias Master which will be a default master in ICM. This functionality helps you to get a consolidated search result on searching any of the linked alias values, instead of creating separate searches for each of these linked values and aggregating them.

From user Settings, if you change the language preferences then the localized value will be reflected in the Alias Master.

To view the settings:

1. Click Preferences. The My Preferences window opens.

2. Select the number of records that you want displayed per page (10, 50 or 100). You can also select the default choice on the grid, Records Layout (Grid View, Tile view or Extended view) and toggle the search panel visibility option (Yes/No). Toggle the Open every record in same browser tab (Yes/No)

 

3. Click the Locale Settings tab to choose your language, time zone, date and time formats. You will receive ICM notification emails in the language that you select.

 

 

4.Click Save to save your settings.

Timeouts in ICM

There are two types of timeouts in ICM:

• Inactivity Session Timeout: if an ICM session is idle with no action (remains inactive) for a preset duration, a countdown timer appears with a message indicating that the current session will time out in X minutes. The 'X' is set in the backend and cannot be configured from the user interface. Click OK to continue the session.

Note: You may lose any unsaved data if your session times out. 

• Command Timeout: When searching, if your query takes up more than the preset time, it gets aborted. An error message indicates that there was a timeout. Click OK to close the message. This may happen due to a database issue or a slow server response. Try your query again.
