Example of Views section containing
no expandable folders
In this case, you must create at least one view on the Setup tab before you can begin
using the Smart Client.
 If the Views section contains one or more expandable folders labeled [Private] ..., you
have already created one or more views in private groups.
Which Types of Groups Can You Create Views in?
Depending on your user rights, you may be able to create and edit views in the following types of
groups:
 Private and shared
 Private, but not shared
 Shared, but not private
 Neither private, nor shared (in which case you simply rely on views created by others
and placed in shared groups)
Typically only a few people in an organization are able to create and edit views in shared groups.
For example, the surveillance system administrator may create and maintain a number of views
and place them in shared groups: When Smart Client users log in, the views placed in the shared
groups will automatically be available to them, and the users will basically not need to create
further views unless they want their own views in private groups.
To quickly determine which types of groups your user rights permit you to create and edit views in,
do the following:
1. Select any of the Smart Client’s tabs.
2. Look at the Views section: You are able to create and edit views in any groups not marked
by a padlock icon. If a group is marked by a padlock icon, it is protected: You can still use
any views in the group, but you cannot create or edit views in the group.
Example: The user is able to create and edit views in private groups,
but not in shared groups. Note the padlock icon on the shared group
folder (clearly visible in the enlarged example).
Consult your system administrator if in doubt about your user rights.
