Production Mode is a very simple interface designed for use in production environments, where a repeating set of well-defined tasks are to be performed. In production mode, an operator cannot create or change parameter files or other system configuration files: they can only use them to run applications.

==How to enter Production Mode==

To be in production mode, either:
# The default mode in [[ODIS_Config.xml|ODIS_CONFIG.xml]] must be “production”
# A user with Production-only privileges (e.g. an “Operator”) must be logged into ODIS.

In production mode, an extremely restricted view of the system is visible. Users are not able to save or alter parameter files, and the number of features is limited.

==Configuring Production Mode==

Configuration is managed through an XML file stored in the Application directory called [[ODIS_Production.xml]]. This file determines the setup of fields, button configuration, colors, actions for Production Mode.

Buttons can be configured to do may tasks, such as:
* Load a parameter file
* Load a collection
* Save a collection
* Move to a position
* Start, Pause, and Stop a Scan
* Toggle images views
* Enable or disable image updating
* Switch among Operator Logins
* Automatically Analyze collections

In addition, a number of user-enterable fields can be added to the top of the screen. These fields will be stored with the scan data, and can also be used as part of the saved filename, and or prevent collection if a field is not set before scanning.
