Interface Navigation
The Advanced View interface is divided into the Navigation pane, the Sensor Data pane, and the Action/
Information pane.
Navigation pane
Located in the upper-left corner of the interface, the Navigation pane displays:
• An appliance and camera pods and sensor pods connected to the appliance
• Serial-based sensors being monitored using scanners
• Alerting sensors
• Shared devices, such as shared IP cameras.
Click a device in the Navigation pane to display all sensors associated with the device in the Sensor Data
pane.
See “Scanned Devices” on page 43.
Pods connected to your appliance automatically appear in the Navigation pane. Newly-added pods are
labeled by their pod type and their serial number.
For details on changing labels, see “Camera Pods” on page 33, “Sensor Pods” on page 61, or
“Output Control” on page 50.
If you connect a pod to the appliance and then disconnect it, the pod remains in the Navigation pane, but
you cannot select it. If you reconnect the pod, its Navigation pane entry becomes active again.
Using folders
The Navigation pane lists all devices associated with the appliance. You can create folders in the
Navigation pane to form virtual groups of devices. Devices included in a folder are also listed in the
selection list. A single device can be included in multiple folders. When a folder is not expanded, if any
one device in the folder is in an alert status, the folder will be red.
Folders can be created, modified, or deleted only using Advanced View. Any folders created using
Advanced View are visible in the Navigation pane of Basic View.
To create or modify a folder:
1. Right-click on the background of the Navigation pane, not on a device, and select Add Folder.
To modify a folder, right-click on the folder and select Modify Folder.
2. Type a folder name in the Folder Name field.
3. To add devices, select one or more devices from Available Enclosures and click the right arrow
(>) button to add the selected devices to the Selected Enclosures list.
4. To remove devices, select one or more devices from Selected Enclosures, and click the left
arrow (<) button to move the selected devices to the Available Enclosures list.
5. Click OK.
To delete a folder, right-click on the folder and click Delete Folder.
