3.4.1.3 Summary Status
In order to simplify the system display and highlight the most important information,
the system sometimes combines properties into a single
Summary Status property.
The
Summary Status property displays the highest priority status that is currently
active for an object. For example, if an object has an active Fire Alarm and Fire
Fault, the Fire Alarm would be displayed in the
Summary Status.
3.4.1.4 Multiple-Object Commanding
With multiple-object commanding, you are not really commanding objects at all.
Instead, you are commanding one property type,
Present Value for instance, for
more than one object of the same type.
If you select multiple objects of the same type, for example, Analog Output, the
icon next to the property name in the
Operations or Extended Operations tab
indicates this with a triangular symbol in the lower right-hand corner. Clicking this
symbol expands the table row to show all of the selected objects of the same type
that share this property. You can then change (command) all
Present Value
properties for the selected objects at the same time. The following graphics
illustrate the multiple-object commanding concept.
In the following graphic, the system indicates that you have selected multiple
objects by displaying a triangular symbol in the lower right-hand corner of the
Present Value icon.
