MUMMS users can add or remove services within the MUMMS application. These services represent the real world services provided to lab users. These services vary depending on the department or laboratory using MUMMS. Using MTL as an example, here are some typical services:
Service levels represent typical service profiles for users in MUMMS. When users register, they choose a service level. For example, a user who wants to work in the fabrication facilities should choose the Full Fabrication service level. They can then choose from the services available within that service level, i.e. the ICL/TRL, EML, and CAD services. Some services are implicitly selected for a specific service level. For example, Full Fabrication users must have the Compute Access service. The current service levels for MTL are:
Other laboratories or departments may have different service levels containing different services.
A user can add a service associated with their service level from the Manage Services page. If the user wishes to add a service that is not in their current service level, they can change service levels. Below is an example of a user who has selected the Compute service level (#4 above).
If this user wants to add the EML service, they must change service levels to Full Fabrication (#1 above). The diagram below shows this user's services after changing service levels and choosing the EML service.
Note that the user now has services (EML, Proxy Fab, and Packaging) that are associated with the Fab Processing charge category. Since the user did not previously have any Fab Processing charges, supervisor and cost object allocations will need to be set up for payment of those charges before those services will become active. The user should assign a preliminary cost object to pay for these charges, which will notify the supervisor that allocations need to be approved. This can be done from the Manage Services page.
Also, the new services will not be active until the required prerequisites are completed. For example, the EML and Packaging services both require EHS compliance. The diagram below shows the process by which MUMMS determines if a service should be active or pending:
