OPUS Platform FAQs

TraceLink apps are extended through solutions, which pull together assets that define how the app looks and functions when users interact with it (i.e. the app's data model, pages workflows, roles, and policies). Solutions available in the Marketplace Catalog can be saved as Company Solutions and configured to meet a company's specific use cases and business needs.

Roles group a set of permissions for specific actions (either in the UI or via API), side menu items, and data within an app. The solution applied to the app or its network determines which roles are available. Administrators assign users to roles when they assign users to an app, its network, or its Links.

Owners assign specific roles to Links, allowing their Partners to assign those roles to the Partner users with access to the Link.

Companies must own OPUS Solution Environment (OSE) to add or edit roles. If your company owns OSE and you also have the Solution Designer role assigned, you can add new roles to a Company Solution or edit existing roles by navigating to OSE and selecting Roles in the side menu. See the OPUS Solution Environment Help Center for more information. If your company does not own OSE, then contact TraceLink Support for more information.

OPUS Ensemble is the global user interface that provides access to user tools and the overall layout and navigation for all OPUS solutions. OPUS Solution Environment (OSE) is a separate TraceLink product used to create and configure specific solutions, determining the information users engage with. In short, OPUS Ensemble establishes global interaction patterns and OSE establishes the information within a solution.

If you select a report or dashboard in a solution and an empty table or chart is displayed, then your role gives you access to the report or dashboard itself, but not to the solution data. Contact your administrator to have the correct role assigned to your OPUS account.
