x-rite ccn-ccss ColorCert Scorecard Server

Introduction

This quick start guide will help you log into your new ColorCert scorecard server account to begin viewing your production data.
ColorCert ScoreCard Server (SCS) version 2 is a complete rewrite from the original version. The main goals of this new version are to provide a customizable user viewing environment, better access to the data collected during production, as well as greater ability to generate customized reporting.
Once you become familiar with this near-time reporting tool, please see our users guide to begin taking advantage of the features that your X-Rite Scorecard server offers.

Logging in

When you are provided access to an X-Rite Scorecard server, you will receive an email containing your login credentials which includes:

• The server URL (a link you can click to open the server in a web browser)
• Your username which will be the email address used when creating your account
• A password

If you believe that you should have received a scorecard server invitation but are unable to find the email, please look in your spam folder or check with your IT department. These emails are generated by the server. Most modern email clients are able to detect this and therefor flag the emails as spam.
To log into the server, click the link in the email that you receive, this will open the server login page in your default browser.

• Enter the email address and password assigned to your account, it is helpful to copy/paste the password
• Click the “login” button
  • In most cases you will be required to change this password upon logging in the first time
  • This provides security since the original password is emailed to you
  • It is possible for the server owner to disable this requirement

Dashboard view

The server will open to one of your dashboard pages. By default, there are two built in dashboard views. These are designed to provide a snap shot of what is currently happening in your print environment. Depending how your dashboard has been configured, you will see information as:

• Score information and other details for your most recent uploads
• Trend charts to show any change in overall quality output
• Trend charts focused on specific colors or substrates
• Logged in users
• Plant by plant data

These dashboard views are completely customizable. In addition each user may add up to three additional dashboard views allowing you to have a total of five different dashboards. For more information about customizing your view, please see our users manual.
