Chapter 1: Getting Started

The Locations feature replaces the previous channels/my

channels functionality, providing improved customization and

flexibility with more information available from the tree view.

Views: A View is a customized combination of locations

selected from all available zones by the user. They offer the

flexibility of navigating a tree view similar to the locations

view with a customized hierarchical zone organization. They

can be customized so a user can create a view of all location

readings regardless of zone. These Views remain saved and

allow each user to have the software set up in a way that

better suits their role or job function.

Trends: Trends are custom graphs which can be built with

user friendly drag and drop functionality. The trend view

allows you to combine, contrast and compare location history

in visual graphs using real-time data.

Dashboards: Dashboards provide the ability to upload a

custom image for any zone or view and place locations on

this image (for example a map or floor plan). They provide a

customized display of the current readings at several

locations at a glance.

Mobile Support: viewLinc 4.0 provides access from mobile

devices, allowing you to perform key tasks from your

smartphone or tablet. Apple iPhone iOS

® 3+, Android®

2.1+, and BlackBerry

® 6+ devices are supported.

Users and Groups: viewLinc 4.0 provides several new

security options and introduces the concepts of groups,

users and zones for better access control. Groups allow the

administrator to better control permissions on a group level

while maintaining user-based permissions. These features

provide quicker methods of configuring permissions for

multiple users and subsequently adding individual user

permissions as needed. viewLinc 4.0 also provides the ability

to add an access control list (ACL) to a particular zone and

give a group permissions specific to that zone.
