The User Menu lets you switch users. Administrators can also
“manage” users by adding and deleting user accounts and
changing access levels in this menu.
Sicontroller ToolBar
Sicontroller’s tools are grouped by function. Each major function and button is described below.
Main Sicontroller Functions detail:
File Menu:
The workspace options allow you to load and save workspaces. You can use various workspaces to
load different looks for various sites if you manage multiple locations. You can also use differing
workspaces to manage the typical preferences for your users. For instance, it might be that the
daytime staff only needs to see one or two critical meters and wants the rest of the display to run
quietly minimized. Other people might want or need to see more information. Finally, management
and engineering might want to view the entire display. By first saving, then loading various site files,
you can instantly switch views without having to reposition everything by hand each time.
The “Workspace Options” in the file menu opens a small form
for you to select how Sicontroller behaves at startup. Here you
can set Sicontroller to start up with Windows. You can also
choose to auto-load the most recent workspace, one chosen
workspace, or load nothing and just start fresh. The default is to
load the workspace last used before exiting (most recent).
