Tree View
The Tree View represents the primary means of navigating through the hierarchy
of Nodes. The analogy to the NT Explorer holds here where clicking on a Node
effectively selects that Node as the Node to display more information about in the
main View.
The Tree View shows a hierarchy of Nodes. A small plus sign (+) to the left of an
icon means that there are child Nodes underneath that are not yet visible.
A small minus sign (-) to the left of an icon means that the child Nodes are
currently being displayed.
Single clicking on the plus sign will open up the child Nodes for display. Single
clicking on the minus sign will collapse the child Nodes. The same effect is
achieved by double clicking on a Node.
There are two icons displayed next to each Node in the tree. The one to the right
indicates the current State of the Node. The one to the left indicates the current
assignment status of the Node. The meaning of these icons is described below.
Node State Icon
The rightmost icon for each Node displays the current State of the Node. This
State is an overall graphical representation of the health and status of this Node.
The underlying object model also supports the concept of a State rollup which
means that the State of a child Node can affect the State of its parent. This concept
is built into the design and is up to the user of the LGCnfg tool to decide how the
various Nodes roll up their States. The AlarmTracker Client simply displays
whatever State exists for that Node.
