Drag to adjust a column width, or click to sort
on a column heading.
Opening an Account, or Switching to a
Different Account (for Monitoring, Status
& Control, User Admin., etc.)
Click [Account Folders] in the 'tree', browse
through and select an account folder on the
left, and locate and open the account on the
right (double-click).
Multi-Server Alternative: For a multi-server login, you
can also view and select accounts under [server] in
the 'tree'.
Your selected account will remain 'open' (e.g., for the
event monitoring window) until you select [Account
Folders] or [Management] in the 'tree'.
Single-account license
: In this case, account folders
are not shown in the 'tree'. (To access your account,
simply click your site/account button in the tree.)
Renaming an Account Folder
Let's suppose you'd like to rename the default
account folder as "All Accounts": Click
[Account Folders] in the 'tree', right-click the
desired folder, and select Rename. Then,
type the new name as desired, and press
Enter.
Renaming an Account
Accounts can be renamed in the "Account
Information" screen for the account.
Click [Account Folders] in the 'tree'. Then,
locate and double-click the specific account
using the 'tree' and/or main window.
Exception (Single-account licensing):
Click [Your Account] in the tree.)
When the Account Information screen
appears, change the name as desired.
Tip: Your settings will be saved automatically when
you select a different screen or topic.
Adding an Account Folder
Let's suppose you want to add an account
folder called "Remote Sites" under "All
Accounts".
Click [Account Folders] in the 'tree', right-
click the desired location for the new folder,
and select Add Account Folder. Then, type
the desired name, and press Enter.
Adding a New Account
Let's suppose you want to add a new
account "Site ABC" in a folder called
"Remote Sites".
Click [Account Folders] in the 'tree', select
the folder where you want to put the new
account, right-click the account window on
the right, and select Add Account. Then,
respond to the small wizard screens that
appear—selecting a few basic operating
parameters and clicking [Next] or [Finish]
as needed.
Note: When a new account is set up in this way, some
default items/values are set up automatically. If you
need to change the panel operating mode (e.g. North
America vs. UK-ACPO), and wish to obtain suitable
default values, it is best to set up a new account and
delete the old one.
Tip: There are numerous items that can be set up
for each account. For a suggested procedure, refer
to "Setting up a New System (Commissioning)".
Moving an Account (or Folder) Into a
Different Location
Accounts and account folders can be moved
as desired using the familiar drag-and-drop
approach: Click [Account Folders] in the
'tree'. Then, locate the desired account or
folder, and use your mouse to drag the item
into the desired location.
Notes: The target folder may not be highlighted--
simply 'drop' the item when the mouse cursor is on top
of the desired folder. Accounts can be managed like
this in the account window only (not in the 'tree').
If you need to Delete an Account (or
Account Folder)
Before deleting an account, first check to
ensure that it is not assigned to any operators:
Select [Management] in the tree, open the
Operator branch, and select Operator. Then,
use the Grid / Form toolbar-button to switch to
'grid' view, and scroll through the operator list,
checking the "Account" and "Monitor Account"
columns for the specific one. Be sure to reset
any as needed as you go along (click [...] ).
