Installation and configuration
Creation
Virtual connection
This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.
How to use
This is a virtual connector. Its data is retrieved from the Surveyor or from Visual Overview. You can find more information about the different data pages of the connector below.
Desk Table Page
This page displays the Desk Table, with all info regarding the different desks. At startup, this information is retrieved from the desk view properties of all desks found in the sites view.
A new desk can be added via a pop-up page. On this page, you need to specify the Desk Index, MAC Address, Name and Site. The values of these last three parameters can also be changed in the table. The other column values can be set using the buffer strings from the Visual Overview: Connection Status, Type, Selected Scenario Name and User Name.
You can also remove a desk with the Remove button at the end of the desk row. With the Refresh Table button, you can update the Desk Table data with any changes from the desk views.
Scenarios Page
This page contains the Scenario Table, with all the scenarios available in the scenarios views. This data is retrieved from the Surveyor and passed along via the Scenario Table Buffer. The scenarios are also all listed in the Scenario List parameter. The Scenario List Lite parameter lists the scenarios containing only one service group.
With the Clear Tables button, you can clear all tables related to the scenarios and services. The Refresh Table button updated the table with the latest data from the Surveyor.
Scenario Content Page
All the service groups and services included in the scenarios are displayed in the Scenario Content Table. The table includes the service (group) name, service type and sorting key.
Service Groups Page
This group lists the service groups in the Service Groups Table. The table includes the status and site for each service group.
