Creating site and Root level graphics

This section outlines tips for creating graphics that reside at the site level of the building hierarchy or at the

Root, which is the top of the hierarchy for all devices being monitored.

● site level graphics display data for an entire facility. For example, a graphic that displays the occupied status

of all conference rooms in a building or closely-related buildings.

● Root level graphics display data from multiple sites or data for an entire project. For example, a

dashboard graphic that displays data for all fire sensors in a project.

Creating site level graphics

Desigo Control Point assumes that the top level of graphic reuse is at the equip level, such as an AHU, boiler or

chiller plant. Therefore, the relativize function currently does not generate a siteRef tag if a site is selected in the

Component binding options dialog box.

This procedure creates a graphic that displays data for an entire facility.

1. Create or open a graphic at an equip level that is located immediately below the desired site.

 The Component binding options dialog box displays.

– In the Top Equip section, select the equip that is located immediately below the desired site.

– Select Relative: By navName and click APPLY.

 A relative binding query has been created for the component.

3. Do the following for each component and smart label in the graphic:

– Individually select each component or smart label, right-click and select TOOLS > VIEW BINDINGS.

– Add the siteRef to the binding query and click SAVE. See the following table for more information.

 The binding query has been modified for the component.

4. Click and modify the GRAPHIC ON such that the graphic can be opened on the appropriate site or sites.

See the following figure and the GRAPHIC ON binding query [➙ 62] section for more information.

 The adjusted bindings work for any site that has the same or similar structures in the building hierarchy.
