Quick Guide

Creating an Admin Account

After a successful installation following the document, if the server IP where the installation is located is <Server IP> and the port is <Server Port>, you can access the Hengshi Analytics Platform through the browser at http://<Server IP>:<Server Port>/. If everything is normal, the following initialization page will be displayed:

Enter Name, Email, and Password, click Create, and the creation of the admin account is complete.

Note that the system initialized on this page is only a trial system for 30 days; If you have a registration code provided by Hengshi, you can click Enter Registration Code to proceed to the following initialization page:

Similarly, enter Name, Email, Password, and Registration Code, then click Create.

The email address filled in here is the one used when applying for the registration code. If the registration code is verified, the system will automatically create a user with the system administrator role for this email. It is recommended to use a public email to apply for the registration code, such as it_support@your-company.com.

If you need a registration code, please contact support@hengshi.com

Logging into the System

  1. After completing the initialization, access the login page again through http://<Server IP>:<Server Port>/. Enter the administrator's email and password set during the Creating an Admin Account process, and log in successfully.

  2. Upon the first login to the system, only the Settings option is active on the left sidebar menu. This is because, in the Hengshi system, the System Management role only has permissions to modify system-related settings, while the Data Management and Data Analysis roles are able to create data connections, charts, dashboards, etc.
