== Personal Account Functions ==
#Все статьи в базе знаний представляют иерархическую последовательность от общего к частному. Поэтому каждая статья является частью последовательности и должна продолжать логическую цепочку связей общее-частное.
+
There are the following types of the personal account functionality:
#Перед созданием статьи необходимо определить ее структурное расположение в общей иерархии статей.
+
* Basic
#Структура статьи повторяет и является продолжением иерархии статей.
+
* Standard
#В первую очередь необходимо взглянуть на иерархию уже существующих статей, затем определить, где могла бы находиться создаваемая статья.
+
* Premium
 +
* Maximum

Depending on the type, you can use the following functionality:
  
#Необходимо изучить статьи Википедии по работе со статьями. Начать можно с прочтения [https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Как_создать_статью Создание статьи][https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Оформление_статей Оформление статей]. Необходимую информацию по шаблонам, так же, можно найти на Википедии.

== Registering Courier Service Account ==
#Прежде чем приступать к написанию/корректировке статьи, необходимо узнать логическую цепочку процесса и причинно-следственные связи в программе.
+
To register a courier service account:
#Заголовки в статьях не должны быть более 3 слов, не считая предлоги и знаки препинания.  
+
# In MeaSoft, click '''Catalogs''' > '''Additional Modules''', and then click '''Register Account'''. A window with the courier service data appears.
#Если создается новая статья, то оптимальным будет - создание  «Скелета» (набор заголовков, которые покажут общую картину и помогут последовательно или одновременно наполнять разделы статьи контентом). Зачастую, пользователю достаточно посмотреть на заголовки статьи, чтобы найти интересующую его информацию, даже если наполнения раздела еще нет.
+
# Enter a username in the lower field and click '''Register'''. You will see the message "Successfully registered". Click '''OK'''. The "Manage Additional Modules" window appears:[[Файл:Image 5.png|700px|none]]
#Обратите внимание,  заголовок должен четко отражать сущность написанного в блоке, быть логичным и корректно сформулированным. Пример: заголовок- «Выбор картографической системы», изначально был – «Взаимодействие модуля «Карты» с картографическими системами» [[Модуль Карта#Выбор картографической системы |сама статья]].
+
In this window, you can see:
#Важно учитывать логические связи между заголовками и подзагаловками. Для этого необходимо выстраивать связи – от общего к частному. Желательно, соблюдать логику действия пользователя, чтобы помочь пройти путь от начала до конца.
+
* A link to sign in to [https://home.courierexe.ru courier service account], a username and a password for it.
 +
* A link to sign in to client account. The link looks as follows: https://home.courierexe.ru/X, where X is the unique code of the courier service.
  
= Наполнение =
+
To create your client credentials, in MeaSoft, open the client card, click the '''Other''' tab, and create credentials in the '''Website access''' field. Send the credentials to the client.
  
#После заголовка необходимо описать что это, затем необходимо рассказать о задачах, которые решает функционал, если из их описания это не понятно, а затем об опыте использования или о полезных "фишках".
+
Access on behalf of a department is also supported. To provide such access, open the client card, click the '''Departments''' tab, open the department card, and fill in the '''Username''' and '''Password''' fields. The department must have at least one employee. If the client signs in to the personal account on behalf of the department, the '''Finance''' section is unavailable, and the '''Department''' field is filled in automatically when placing a new order.
#Наполнение должно быть актуальным и отражать реальное положение дел, на данный момент. Если есть информация, в которой нет уверенности или требуется разъяснение, то лучше уточнить.
+
 
#Если же актуальной информации нет, то можно оставить раздел пустым, до момента появления информации (можно оставить запись, что раздел на этапе написания).  
+
== Setting Up Client Account ==
#Большую часть информации можно найти в старых статьях или у сотрудников "MeaSoft". Так же, можно исследовать программное обеспечение самостоятельно.
+
To set up a client account, sign in to your courier service account and click '''Settings'''.
#Обратите внимание, что текст будет прочитан обычными людьми, не обладающими профессиональными навыками в программировании или других прикладных дисциплинах, поэтому следует использовать максимально понятный вид изложения.
+
 
#Если в тексте содержатся слова, требующие детального описания, то необходимо добавить их в раздел «Терминология» и сделать ссылку в основной статье. Так же, можно давать внешние ссылки на Википедию, в случае, когда описание подходит под задачи и не требует уточнения.
+
[[Файл:CSA Settings.png|none|1200 px]]
#В случае, если раздел статьи получается слишком объемным, то можно его разбить на подразделы, если получается много подразделов, то имеет смысл создать отдельную статью.
+
 
#Чтобы не описывать информацию, данную ранее или описанную в других статьях – просто укажите на данную информацию ссылку. [https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Ссылка_на_раздел Википедия].
+
There are the following columns to manage the fields on all tabs:
#Не используйте собственные ассоциации и сравнения. У каждого человека субъективное восприятие информации, в следствии чего информация может быть понята не верно.
+
* '''Display order'''. Shows the fields layout. To change the order, drag the line up or down.
#Если же в разделе статьи есть информация технического характера или же информация, которая может пригодиться в ограниченном количестве ситуаций, то ее можно спрятать под <spoiler text="Спойлер"> [https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Шаблон:Спойлер  Шаблон для использования спойлера]</spoiler>
+
* '''Standard name'''. Shows the default field names.
= Работа с изображениями =
+
* '''Custom name'''. The field name to be displayed to your clients.
У каждого формата изображения свои предназначения, поэтому, прежде чем выбрать какой-либо формат, будь то .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp, прочтите общую информацию о этих форматах. Для простых изображений (с небольшим количеством деталей) лучше подходит .png, т.к. занимает меньше места. Так же стоит учитывать, что одно изображение может решать несколько информационных задач, поэтому подбирать нужно максимально информативное изображение, чтобы не захламлять сервер одноразовыми громоздкими файлами. Немало важным является аккуратность в создании изображения, не стоит загружать некачественно обработанные файлы или не несущие никакой информации.
+
* '''Allowed'''. Allows you to show or hide fields by switching ON/OFF.
#Прежде чем загружать изображение на сервер убедитесь, что нужного файла на нем нет. Если вы обнаружили, что изображения нет, тогда подберите или создайте его, далее необходимо загрузить файл на сервер, а затем разместить в статье .
+
* '''Required'''. The additional column on the '''Pickup Request Fields''' and '''New Order Fields''' tabs. Use it to assign required fields. In the client account, such fields will be marked with a red asterisk. If the client leaves them blank, the system will prompt them and the order will not be created.
#Прежде чем выгружать изображение на сервер проверьте его содержимое, а именно: есть ли на изображении личные данные людей (если скриншот сделан в программе, то имейте в виду, что в тестовой версии есть реальные данные людей, размещение этих данных без их согласия является нарушением закона), реальные фотографии людей, данные существующих организаций и др.
+
 
#В Википедии есть [https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Иллюстрирование статья посвященная изображениям].
+
To save the field settings, click '''Save''' at the bottom of the page.
 +
 
 +
To restore the default settings, click '''Reset'''.
 +
 
 +
=== Setting Up Fields for Client Groups ===
 +
You can show different fields for client groups. The client group is determined by the status in the client card.
 +
 
 +
To configure the form fields for a client group:
 +
# In the '''Select client type''' drop-down list, select the client group status, and then click '''Copy'''.
 +
# Set up the visibility of the form fields.
 +
# Click '''Save'''.
 +
# To customize the form for another client group, repeat all the steps again.
 +

=== Parameters===
 +
[[Файл:standard1.png|60px|]] [[Файл:Premium1.png|60px|]] [[Файл:Maximum1.png|60px]]In the '''Parameters''' section, you can access additional settings of the client account:
 +
 
 +
[[Файл:CSA Parameters.png|none|1200 px]]
 +
 +
To get more details about the option, hover the mouse pointer over the question mark at the end of the line.
 +
The parameters are grouped into tabs:
 +
* '''General'''
 +
* '''Finance'''
 +
* '''Advanced'''
 +
 
 +
==== General Settings ====
 +
'''HTML code'''. You can specify HTML code or Javascript for displaying parts of the content. Besides, form DOM can be processed and an additional message after clicking '''Send''' can be displayed. The processing is added to the submitCallback method in a Javascript.
 +
 
 +
Example:
 +
<source lang="javascript">
 +
//Code added to the HTML code parameter
 +
<script type="text/javascript">
 +
window.submitCallback = function() {
 +
if (jQuery('#mass').val() >= 100) {
 +
return 'Weight specified' + jQuery('#mass').val() + ' kg!';
 +
} else {
 +
return '';
 +
}
 +
};
 +
</script>
 +
</source>
 +
Once you click '''Send''', the '''Weight''' field value is checked. If the value is greater than or equal to 100, a message indicating the weight is displayed besides the question about placing the order. Use this mechanism only to display messages, not to check for new order errors because the system allows you to place the order.
 +
 
 +
'''Company data'''. In this section, you can specify a name, a logo, a phone number, and a link to the courier service website on the following pages:
 +
* Client account sign-in page
 +
* Order tracking
 +
* Calculator
 +
 
 +
To save the settings, click '''Save'''.
 +
 
 +
==== Finance ====
 +
Use this tab to set up payment services:
 +
* '''PimPay Settings'''. To get started with PimPay, enter the PimPay code, token, and a private key in the appropriate fields.
 +
* '''Online Payment Settings'''. To accept online payments using Robokassa, in the '''Online Payment Settings''' section, fill in the fields with the merchant data from your Robokassa personal account.
 +
* '''ibox Online Payment Settings'''. Allows you to configure the module to get requests from Ibox. Fill in the '''Ibox client ID''' field with the value from the '''Company profile''' section of your ibox personal account, create a username and a password for webhooks and report this data to ibox.
 +
 
 +
To save the settings, click '''Save'''.
 +
 
 +
==== Advanced Settings ====
 +
[[Файл:Premium1.png|60px|]] [[Файл:Maximum1.png|60px]] On the tab, the settings are grouped into the '''Common Settings''' and '''Appearance Settings''' sections.
 +
 
 +
In the '''Appearance Settings''' section, you can change the interface of the client account.
 +
 
 +
To change the interface of the client account:
 +
# Download a CSS file by clicking '''Example CSS file'''.
 +
# Edit the CSS file.
 +
# Click '''Select file''' and import the modified CSS file. When the file is imported, the message "CSS imported successfully" appears.
 +
 
 +
Note that the client account is built using [http://getbootstrap.com Bootstrap].
 +
 
 +
== Phones ==
 +
Use it to view the list of courier devices connected to the MeaSoft App mobile application.
 +
 
 +
[[Файл:CSA Phones.png|none|1100 px]]
 +
 
 +
By default, the '''Courier Devices''' tab with a list of connected devices appears.
 +
 
 +
To filter the list, click '''Active''', '''Inactive''' or '''All'''.
 +
 
 +
=== Courier Devices ===
 +
To configure a courier device, in the '''Courier Devices''' list, click '''Edit''' next to the device name. The device card appears:
 +
 
 +
[[Файл:CSA Phone Card.png|none|600 px]]
 +
 
 +
'''Courier'''. The name of the courier the device is registered for. To register the device for another courier, select their name from the drop-down list.
 +
 
 +
'''POS terminal PIN'''. Use it to set up order payments via the terminal.
 +
 
 +
'''Fiscal register number'''. Use it to set up fiscalization.
 +
 
 +
If the '''Active''' check box is selected, the mobile device is synchronized with the system. To disable synchronization, clear the check box. The check box is cleared automatically if data has not been received from the device within 7 days. You can select it again any time to resume the device in the system.
 +
 
 +
The '''GPS tracking''' and '''GSM tracking''' check boxes are selected automatically when the courier device is connected to these services.
 +
 
 +
When you finish editing the settings, click '''Save'''.
 +
 
 +
=== Telephony Settings ===
 +
Use the tab to configure the mobile application connection to telephony. The telephony server [https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk Asterisk] and connection via [http://asteriskpbx.ru/display/Asterisk/Asterisk+Managment+Interface+%28AMI%29 AMI] are used.
 +
 
 +
You must be an Asterisk server administration expert for the setup. Contact your telephony support. Our technical support team does not have the appropriate qualifications, and most likely we will not be able to support you in this matter.
 +
 
 +
Specify connection settings:
 +
* '''Server address'''. IP address or domain name. It is assumed that the Asterisk server has a static external IP address or the AMI port is forwarded. Otherwise, the feature does not function.
 +
* '''Server port'''. AMI port.
 +
* '''User name'''. AMI username created in manager.conf (or manager_custom.conf).
 +
* '''Password'''. User password.
 +
* '''Channel'''. The channel to be used for a call. It usually looks like <code>SIP/trunk_name</code>, where <code>trunk_name</code> is the name of the trunk that is usually written in the <code>/etc/asterisk/sip.conf</code> file. For old versions of SIP driver, you can specify <code>SIP/trunk_name</code>. In this case, the caller number is placed at the end: <code>SIP/trunk_name/79001234567</code>. For new versions of SIP driver, specify <code>SIP/{NUMBER}@trunk_name</code>. In this case, the caller number is placed instead of {NUMBER}: <code>SIP/79001234567@trunk_name</code>.
 +
* '''Context'''. The query processing context. Usually configured in a dial plan, in the <code>/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf</code> file. <spoiler text="How to configure recording of outgoing calls">In the standard plan, Asterisk does not record outgoing calls from couriers. The solution is to place the custom dial plan file [http://courierexe.ru/download/extensions_custom.conf extensions_custom.conf] in <code>/etc/asterisk</code>. In the file, in line 5, replace the trunk with the one used in your installation. Then in the mobile application connection settings, use the "from-courier" context. If you want courier calls to have the number of the caller courier in CDR, remove <code><COURIER></code> in the second line of the file. This is added so that you can filter all courier calls. To reduce the size of record files, we recommend that you use G.729 codec.</spoiler>
 +
* '''Courier prefix'''. A prefix to be added to the caller number.
 +
* '''Client prefix'''. A prefix to be added to the callee number.
 +
* '''Internal office phone number'''. The number that the call comes to when you select "Call office". We recommend that you specify the manager group number in this field in the Asterisk settings.
 +
 
 +
Save the settings, and then enter 2 phones and click '''Test''' to check that it is working properly. MeaSoft sends a query to Asterisk, and it must first call the first phone. Once the phone is picked up, a call is made to the second number, and they are connected.
 +
 
 +
'''Note'''. For successful calls from the mobile application, the mobile phone number must be specified in the appropriate field in the courier card.
 +
 
 +
=== Parameters ===
 +
Use the tab to configure the mobile application parameters.
 +
 
 +
[[Файл:CSA Phone Parameters.png|1100 px|none]]
 +
 
 +
'''Recipient name required'''. If the check box is selected, the courier application will not allow courier to save the signature without the '''Delivery info''' field filled in.
 +
 
 +
'''Recipient signature required'''. If the check box is selected, the recipient signature is required.
 +
 
 +
"'Do not show urgent orders with an empty status to a courier'". If the check box is selected, only orders with a non-empty status are available to the courier. In the urgent order card, specify the courier and change delivery status, for example, to '''Out for delivery'''.
 +
 
 +
'''Couriers can take unassigned orders'''. If the check box is selected, the courier can take an order that has not been assigned to anyone.
 +
 
 +
'''Office landline phone'''. The outside office line number. The courier application will make calls to the office at this number.

== Changing Client Account Link ==
 +
[[Файл:Premium1.png|60 px]] [[Файл:Maximum1.png|60 px]] By default, the client account link looks as follows https://home.courierexe.ru/XX, where XX is the company number in Measoft. You can change the address to any name formatted as https://your_subdomain.your_domain.ru.
 +
 
 +
To change the address:
 +
: 1. Create a subdomain in your DNS. Assign it with the IP address of our server: 82.202.165.93 (or better CNAME at home.courierexe.ru).
 +
: 2. Buy an SSL certificate for the subdomain. The certificate must be valid for at least a year. <spoiler text="More about certificates">
 +
 
 +
You can buy a certificate, for example, here: [http://www.thawte.su/ http://www.thawte.su/].
 +
 
 +
After the purchase, you will have a private key file with the KEY extension and several public key files with the CRTS extension, one of them is a file for your domain and the rest are certificates from certification authorities.
 +
 
 +
Open the keys with Notepad. The private key might look as follows:
 +
 
 +
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

If you have access to a Unix-like system, you can verify the convergence of the keys using the following commands:
 +
 
 +
openssl x509 -in server.crt -noout -modulus
 +
openssl rsa -in server.key -noout -modulus
 +
 
 +
Modulus output by the commands must converge. You can also verify the convergence at https://www.sslshopper.com/certificate-key-matcher.html.
 +

 +
);
 +
</source>
 +
You can see the result in the Opinions table.
 +
 
 +
== Calculating the Nearest Possible Delivery Date ==
 +
Client account can control whether delivery on the scheduled delivery date specified by the user is possible. Here's how it works:
 +
 
 +
# The calculator asks for the minimum number of workdays it takes to deliver the order to the city of receipt, considering the urgency mode selected by the user.
 +
# The system calculates the current time of the courier service server to correct the time zone, and compares the time with the value of the '''End of business day''' variable. If the current time of the courier service is greater than the time specified in the variable, 1 workday is added to the delivery time.
 +
# The produced number of workdays is added to the current date. By default, the system considers the days listed in '''Variables''' > '''Defaults''' > '''Holidays and Weekends for Calculations''' as days off, and then it applies unscheduled workdays and days off (holidays) entered in the catalog to them.
 +
 
 +
This algorithm allows you to completely set up the control of the date entered by the user not to allow them to schedule delivery for tomorrow from New York to Las Vegas at economy rate, or to submit intra-city delivery for online stores for tomorrow after 8:00 p.m.
 +
 
 +
At the moment, manual order placement and import from Microsoft Excel follow these rules. In the API, the system only calculates the minimum dates and if the scheduled delivery/pickup date is less than the nearest possible date, the date automatically changes to the earliest possible one.

Calculating the Nearest Possible Delivery Date

Client account can control whether delivery on the scheduled delivery date specified by the user is possible. Here's how it works:

  1. The calculator asks for the minimum number of workdays it takes to deliver the order to the city of receipt, considering the urgency mode selected by the user.
  2. The system calculates the current time of the courier service server to correct the time zone, and compares the time with the value of the End of business day variable. If the current time of the courier service is greater than the time specified in the variable, 1 workday is added to the delivery time.
  3. The produced number of workdays is added to the current date. By default, the system considers the days listed in Variables > Defaults > Holidays and Weekends for Calculations as days off, and then it applies unscheduled workdays and days off (holidays) entered in the catalog to them.

This algorithm allows you to completely set up the control of the date entered by the user not to allow them to schedule delivery for tomorrow from New York to Las Vegas at economy rate, or to submit intra-city delivery for online stores for tomorrow after 8:00 p.m.

At the moment, manual order placement and import from Microsoft Excel follow these rules. In the API, the system only calculates the minimum dates and if the scheduled delivery/pickup date is less than the nearest possible date, the date automatically changes to the earliest possible one.
