Page tabs

The left side of the navigation bar is dynamic: It shows hotlinked tabs for the pages you have recently visited. Hover over a page tab and the background turns blue; click the X at the upper right of the blue area to remove that page tab from the navigation bar.

Click the + icon to add a Live View page tab to the navigation bar.

You can click and drag these page tabs to the right and left to rearrange them.

Multi-window view

Drag one of these page tabs to another position for multiple-window viewing on one or several monitors. Note that this floating window cannot have any additional page tabs.

You can return a floating window to the master window as a page tab by clicking the down arrow icon and selecting the option, as shown below:

Main window

This window contains hotlinks to the various pages, grouped by function. As you hover over a group, a frame appears around it; click the star outline in the top right corner of the frame to mark that group as a favorite. Favorite groups always appear at the top of the home page.

Bottom bar

The bottom bar provides several key pieces of information regarding your system performance.

Click the alarm bell icon to open the Alarm Processing Pane.

Alarm processing pane

This lists the alarm notifications recorded by the system and their processing status.

At the top are checkboxes to filter the list, and a toggle to filter for SOP alarms. In the top left is a counter for the alarms that have not yet been processed.

Within the list, you can click the Play or Image icons to view those files. Click the Edit icon to process the alarm notification using the dialog shown here.

Under disposition, choose a disposition for the alarm. In the Remarks text box, type a brief description of the event. Click Save, and the alarm notification is considered processed, and its text in the list turns black.
