Views

You can select from different views of the object types in the building control

system, depending on how your system is set up. Selecting a view does not

change the physical makeup of the system. The views merely represent

convenient and different ways of looking at the system. Default views include

Application View and Management View. The currently selected view is saved from

session to session. In other words, the view that is selected when you close the

software is the view that the system restores the next time you open the control

software. Your last highlighted object selection in the System Browser tree, and the

state of the expanded and collapsed folders, are not saved and restored from

session to session.

Making Object Selections

System Browser offers you the following two methods for making objects the

primary selection in System Manager:

● Automatic Selection (default): For selecting a single-object, you click the object,

and it then automatically becomes the new primary selection in System

Manager. For selecting multiple objects, you press and hold the CTRL key or

the SHIFT key while highlighting the objects. Upon releasing either key, the

objects become the new primary selection in System Manager.

● Manual Selection: First, check the Manual Navigation box, then highlight the

objects in one of three ways: 1) Clicking the object, 2) Pressing and holding the

CTRL key while clicking multiple objects, or 3) pressing and holding the SHIFT

key while clicking the beginning and ending range of objects. To make the

highlighted objects the primary selection for System Manager, you can right-

click and choose Send to the Primary Pane, or click the Send button. When

selecting a single object, you can also double-click the object to make it the

primary selection.

Dragging-and-Dropping

System Browser supports drag-and-drop of single or multiple objects from any of

the views—including the Search Result view—to Trends, Schedules, and Reports.

You can cancel a dragging operation by pressing the ESC key or by dragging the

objects back to the original view (or another no-drop zone) and then dropping

them.
