InfoEx offers flexibility by supporting observation entry from both single and multiple computers. See Entering and submitting observations overview for details on the two modes. This document describes how an Operation administrator can specify the mode for entering and submitting observations to InfoEx for their operation.

If your operation has an active Avalanche Control or Run List Extension subscription you can access configuration options on this page. See Specifying the status ratings for the run list module for more details on how to specify the status ratings for the run list extension. 

See Configuring the quick observation entry for avalanche control for more details on how to configure the avalanche control extension.

Step-by-step description

Select 'Operation Settings' from the administration menu (cog wheel) (Fig. 1).

The Operation settings page for the operation (Fig. 2).
3. Click on On to support data entry from multiple computers or click on Off if you only enter and submit observations from a single computer. The button will turn white when selected.

The change immediately goes into effect on the local computer. You can check by clicking on the 'OBSERVATION' menu. If you selected to support data entry from multiple computers (on position), the menu contains two items called 'Enter & Share' and 'Review & Submit'. In the off position, the menu only contains a single item called 'Enter & Submit'.
