1. Application Overview

The Operator Data Interchange system (ODIN) is a web based application that provides a centralised system allowing operators to upload the reports required under the Sydney Metro (SMBSC), Outer Sydney Metro (OSMBSC), Rural & Regional (RRBSC), Newcastle Integrated Service Contract (NISC) and Sydney Bus Service Contract (SBSC) bus contracts and the monthly invoice, where applicable.

It also provides access to the reports generated by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) from the uploaded files and other reports produced by TfNSW such as the On-Time Running (OTR) reports for the SMBSC, OSMBSC, NISC and SBSC contracts.

The ODIN system is also utilised by the Bus Contract Management team to monitor and review uploaded reports.

1.1 Access to the ODIN application

ODIN is deployed as an internet application and is available from the Transport for NSW Services Portal.

1.1.1 Logging in

The URL for the Transport for NSW Portal is:

https://appln.transport.nsw.gov.au/portal/

Type the URL in the address field of the internet browser. Hit <Enter> when finished.

Note: The ODIN application works best using the Google Chrome web browser. It will not work with older versions of Internet Explorer.

Or access the application via the main Transport for NSW website.

http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/operators/bus-coach

Under the ‘Portal’ heading the application can be accessed via the ‘Bus Contracts Operator Data Interchange (ODIN) for Self-Reporting and Information Interchange’ link.

Note: Clicking on the link takes the user to the TfNSW portal, and the normal log in process.

1. On the ‘Portal’ screen, enter your ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ and click the ‘Login’ button (or hit <Enter> on the keyboard).

Note: Usernames and Passwords are case sensitive.

2. Select the ‘Operator Data Interchange’ option.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 5 of 26

Note: If you have access to other Transport for NSW applications you will see them listed under ‘Your Services’.

3. On entry to ODIN, an additional login screen with the ‘Condition of Use’ is presented; use the same username and password as per the portal login.

4. On acceptance of these terms and logging in, the user is presented with the various options that reflect their access rights. If the user has contracts that are administered by different offices, the left hand side will present the option to select the office associated with that contract.

By default the ‘Pending’ link is displayed.

1.1.2 Logging out

The application can be exited at any time by clicking on the logon icon located in the top right hand corner.

1.2 Navigation on the Pending submission screen.

The ‘Pending’ section can be accessed from the top menu, and will display any outstanding submissions for the current or previous reporting periods.

Page 6: Operator Data Interchange (ODIN) · ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 3 of 26 1. Application Overview The Operator Data Interchange system

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 6 of 26

The ‘Pending’ screen is displayed by default on entry to ODIN. To access the ‘Pending’ screen from any other screen, simply click on the ‘Pending’ option.

Where no items are outstanding the ‘Pending’ screen will show the ‘You don’t have pending submissions for the current period’ message.

Where there are outstanding submissions, and the user is associated with more than one contract, the contract related to the submission will need to be selected. This may require the selection of the relevant administrative office using the following steps.

1. The ‘Contracts’ section on the left hand side of the screen, will display the administrative offices associated with the contracts of the logged on user.

2. To expand or collapse the office section, click on the relevant office name.

3. Click on the contract code for which the submitted reports are required. This will result in the selected contract being displayed in bold and the outstanding submission information being displayed under the ‘Reports due for <YYYY MM>’ heading.

4. Where there are pending submissions for more than one submission period, the ‘Pending’ screen will display all months for which there are outstanding submissions.

5. To expand or collapse the ‘Reports due for...’ section, click on the relevant ‘Month’.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 7 of 26

Alternately, the ‘Search Contracts’ field can be utilised to search for contracts that meet the criteria entered.

1. The ‘Search Contract’ field filters on the values entered, so if S30 is entered, any contract that contains S30 as part of the contract code will be displayed.

Note: The ‘Search Contract’ field can be utilised to search for a particular contract across the ‘Pending’, ‘Submitted’ and ‘Download’ links and all contract types

1.3 ‘Pending’ screen – Downloading submissions (Small and Very Small Operators)

Where data needs to be reported, the Operators of small and very small RRBSC contracts have a download option available. This option will download a pre-populated report leaving only those fields that need to be completed by the Operator blank. Once the required data has been entered by the Operator the file can be uploaded back into the ODIN application.

1. To download a file from ODIN, select the download icon for the report that is to be completed.

2. When using the preferred browser (Google Chrome) this will result in

the file selected being downloaded and displayed at the base of the screen.

3. To open the file either click on the file using the left hand mouse button or use the right hand button of the mouse to open the menu and select the ‘Open’ option.

In the recommended internet browser, Chrome, the download file is displayed at the base of the screen

Note: Remember, if your mouse has the primary and secondary buttons switched you will need to use the opposite buttons.

1.4 Getting column widths right for uploading (Small and Very Small Operators)

On the initial download of a file for a small and very small Operator, the Excel spreadsheet will be compressed as it is in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) format. Unless the cells are expanded, it is possible to inadvertently enter data into an incorrect field, and the file will fail when attempting to upload it to ODIN.

Detailed below is an example of why the file needs to have the columns expanded prior to data entry using the SSTS YOR 4 file.

If the CSV file is not expanded it appears that the data should be entered into column H.

Once the file is expanded it can be seen that the data should have been entered into cell G.

If the data is entered into the wrong column the file will fail upload with the message: “The header row provided in the file did not meet the expected format required by TfNSW” There are different methods that can be used (to expand the fields in the file) to cater to different user preferences. Two of the methods are shown in 1.5 and 1.6 below:

R L

To open the file click on the download file, using the left hand mouse button OR right click on the file and select the ‘Open’ option

The data has been entered into a field that appears to be correct, prior to expanding the column width

The file will fail upload, as the data has been entered into the incorrect column

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 9 of 26

1.5 Using the ‘format’ function to expand the columns

1. Left click on the required CSV file to open Microsoft Excel

2. Click on the Home tab

3. Click on icon on the top left corner of the work sheet to select all columns in the worksheet

4. Click on the Format icon 5. Select the AutoFit Column Width option 6. You should be able to see cell resized to fit the text in the

first row of the spreadsheet

1.6 Using the mouse to expand the column width

An alternative way to expand all the columns in the spreadsheet using the computer mouse is detailed below.

1. Left click on the required CSV file to open MS Excel

2. Click on the top left hand corner cell using the left hand mouse button, when the mouse cursor turns into a white cross as shown below.

This will result in all the cells of the spreadsheet becoming highlighted and you can release the mouse button.

L R

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 10 of 26

3. Move the mouse cursor to the line between the A and B on the top grey row of the spreadsheet. When the cursor changes shape to a black cross, double click using the left hand mouse button in quick succession.

4. This will result in the cells of the file expanding to fit the text on row 1 of the spreadsheet. This will ensure that you can see the field into which the data will need to be entered. In this case the field is the TICKET_SALES_VALUE.

1.7 ‘Pending’ screen – Uploading submissions

All outstanding reports for the current and previous periods which need to be submitted or omitted will be displayed on the ‘Pending’ screen.

It will also continue to display submitted or omitted submissions for the current reporting period until the next reporting period becomes active.

Details of the reports that are required for the various contracts are listed in Annexure B.

Note: The submission items will show a status of ‘Pending’ until the due date for the submission is reached. After the submission date has passed the status will change to ‘Overdue’.

To upload outstanding submissions utilise the following steps.

1. Click on the ‘Upload’ icon next to the submission item that is to be uploaded.

2. When the ‘Upload’ icon is pressed, a ‘File Upload’ or “Open’ dialog box will be displayed.

3. Navigate to the location where the file to be uploaded is stored on your PC and select the document by clicking on the file and then pressing the ‘Open’ button.

1.10 Locking / Unlocking submissions

All submissions for a reporting period remain unlocked until the end of the month that they are due. Once the next month is reached, all submission line items for the previous month become locked, including those reports that are not yet lodged.

Locked reports are identified by having a tick in the ‘Locked’ column of the ‘Pending’ and ‘Submitted’ screens.

Note: If a submission needs to be unlocked, it will be necessary to request the unlocking of the report with the contract manager responsible for the contract.

1.11 Submitted screen

The submitted screen will display the uploaded or omitted submissions for historical report submission periods.

By default the Submitted screen displays the most recent reporting period that has finished. To select a different period, click on the ‘Reports due for …” text and select the required period.

Page 15: Operator Data Interchange (ODIN) · ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 3 of 26 1. Application Overview The Operator Data Interchange system

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 15 of 26

Note: It will not be possible to re-submit submissions for previous periods without having the submission unlocked by the Contract Management team.

Note: On the ‘Submitted’ screen any re-upload of a submission for a previously locked reporting period, will result in the report becoming locked on submission.

To view the reports for previous submission periods:

1. Click on the Reports due for <YYYY mmm> label to reveal the list of previous reporting periods.

2. Select the required report period to be viewed.

1.12 Viewing uploaded files

The ‘Download’ link can be utilised to view and download the generated reports from the uploaded self-reporting files. Depending on the user access rights, there can be up to three links within the ‘Download’ section, the ‘Operational’, ‘Supplementary’ and ‘Contractual’ links.

1.12.1 Searching for Reports

The same search filters are utilised for all the links in the ‘Download’ section. It is possible to search for a particular document by utilising one of the two search functions.

1. The first filter option allows searches to be conducted on the file name using the ‘Contains’, ‘Starts with’ or ‘Ends with’ criteria.

A search using the ‘Contains’ option will allow the filtering to files that match the entered text.

For example AHR will result in the display of Ad-Hoc files on the ‘Supplementary’ link.

The use of the ‘Contains’ OTR will allow the search for files that contain that word on the ‘Operational’ link.

A search using the ‘Starts with’ or ‘Ends with’ option will restrict the search to files that start or end with the selected text entered. So a search with an ‘End with’ of xlsx on the ‘Supplementary’ screen will only return files which were uploaded Excel files.

On the ‘Operational’ or ‘Contractual’ screens a search using ‘Starts with’ option for 2016 will restrict the search to files that start with 2016.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ODIN - User Guide for Transport Bus Operators and Contract Management Page 16 of 26

The use of the ‘Contains’ KPI will result in the search only displaying files that contain the word KPI on the ‘Contractual’ link.

2. The second filter is on the ‘Date of Creation’ column and allows users to filter the reports on the dates the files were uploaded.

To restrict the search to files created on or after a specified date, select the ‘After’ option and the required date using the calendar tool and pressing the ‘Filter’ button.

To restrict the search to files created on or after a specified date, select the ‘Before’ option and the required date using the calendar tool and pressing the ‘Filter’ button.

It is possible to search for files uploaded between certain dates by selecting values between certain date ranges.

1.12.2 Operational reports – (O/SMBSC, NISC and SBSC contracts only)

The ‘Operational’ link contains files which have been generated by TfNSW and includes items such as the On Time Running, Layover or ‘Untracked Trips’ reports.

By default all files will be ordered by the most recently generated report.

1.12.3 Supplementary reports (O/SMBSC, NISC and SBSC and RRBSC contracts)

The ‘Supplementary’ screen allows the user to view or downloaded the renamed files which were uploaded for the submissions listed below.

These submissions are renamed using the file name convention of <contract code>-<submission period>-<report type> and are available for viewing or downloading.

For example the ‘Ad-Hoc’ report for L9999 covering the period 2016-10 will be renamed L9999-2016-10-AHR.docx.

Listed below are examples of the type of documents that will be available on the Supplementary tab if uploaded.
