Monaoring Station Overview
Monitoring Station Overview
The Monitoring Station application lets an Operator keep track of Events, Activities, Access and Device status, and
ongoing security access.
The Monitoring Station also allows you to perform Manual Actions such as locking or unlocking a door, arming or
disarming an input or output, or performing downloads to controllers (the ability to perform Manual Actions is
governed by Operator Privileges).
The Monitoring Station user interface is designed to be flexible. Your site administrator can create Application
Layouts containing the monitoring viewers and status information that are needed to perform the monitoring tasks
specific to your site.
The Application Layout is built around the concept of multiple Panes containing Viewers. There are Viewers for the
important Events and Activities that need to be monitored, Viewers for live Video cameras and Video Tours, and
Viewers for Status lists that can show the status of important objects in the system, as well as allow you to perform
manual actions, as needed.
A single Monitoring Station can have multiple Application layouts displayed at one time, using a tab interface that
lets you toggle between layouts. Your Application layout can also have multiple viewers in a Pane so you can tab
between camera views, status lists, and Events or Activities.
Additionally, your administrator can assign multiple monitors in the Operator editor, so that when you start the
Monitoring Station, multiple instances of the Monitoring Station start, with different Application layouts assigned to
each monitor. See the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide for more information.
When you are monitoring activities and events on a high-traffic C•CURE 9000 Server, the Monitoring
NOTE
Station client application can generate a high percentage of CPU Usage. Software House recommends
that if you anticipate a high level of activities and events, or if you are monitoring multiple Video
devices, you should install and run the Monitoring Station client application on a separate PC from
the C•CURE 9000 Server.
To do so, when you install the Monitoring Station, choose the client-only installation option, and
designate the C•CURE 9000 Server PC as the Server Name during client installation. See the C•CURE
9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information.

Monitoring Station Viewers
Monitoring Station Viewers
The Monitoring Station user interface is based on an Application Layout object defined in the C•CURE 9000
Administration application.
A layout consists of an arrangement of Panes, each of which can contain multiple viewers. The layout can also
include floating windows that contain viewers.
In addition, you can also have access to multiple Layouts. For example, if you have three layouts assigned to your
Operator account, you will be able to tab between them to view different objects, cameras, and reports.
Figure 2 on Page 17 shows a Monitoring Station with three Application Layouts assigned to the Operator.

Monitoring Station Prrviteges
Monitoring Station Privileges
The tasks you can perform and the objects you can view in the Monitoring Station depend upon the Application
Layouts and the Privileges assigned to you as an Operator.
Your C•CURE 9000 administrator will create Application Layouts that provide access to the viewers and objects you
need to do your job. You may find that you can edit some objects, but not others, and view some objects but not
others. You may also find that you cannot move or close viewers in the Application Layout.
Any restrictions are based on your Privileges. If you are unable to access capabilities that you need, talk to your
administrator to gain access.
For more information about Privileges and Operators, see the C• CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide.

Monitoring Station Application Window
Monitoring Station Application Window
The Monitoring Station window is designed to display a monitoring configuration specific to each site's needs,
potentially delivering a customized application for each monitoring Station Operator.
The basic Monitoring System window consists of Application Layouts that can be arranged as tabbed views, with
each layout containing up to six information Panes. Each Pane contains one or more viewers, also arranged as tabs.
The Application Layouts must be configured in the Administration application, and then the layouts must be
assigned to each operator so they will display on the tabs in the Monitoring Station window.
Figure 5 on Page 23 shows an example of the Monitoring Station Window with five empty Panes.

Event Viewer Overview
Event Viewer Overview
The Event Viewer tracks and displays all events. Events are user-programmable components of the C•CURE 9000
Administration system that are used to invoke system actions, messages, and display maps.
You can click an Event in the Event list to review the event and take action on it. One of the most common actions
you can perform on an event is to acknowledge the event.
Events can be triggered by:
■ Schedules - A Schedule can be set to be active at specific times, and the Event can be specified to be active while
the schedule is active.
■ Another event - An event can activate other events.
■ State changes - A state change in an object, such as the activation of an input or a "door forced" violation, can
trigger an event.
Events can trigger one or more of the following typical actions:
■ Activating/deactivating outputs
■ Arming/disarming inputs
■ Locking/unlocking doors
■ Controlling access to elevators
■ Recording Video from a camera

Event Breakthrough
Event Breakthrough
Event Breakthrough is intended to ensure that the Monitoring Station immediately opens in front of all other open
windows when an important or crucial event configured for Breakthrough activates. An Event is configured for
Breakthrough on the Options tab in the Events Editor. See the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide for more
information.
Event Breakthrough should be reserved for Events that are important enough to require
NOTE immediate action by a logged on Operator.
The Event Viewer supports Event Breakthrough. For Event Breakthrough to occur, at least one of the Application
Layouts for the Operator must have an Event Viewer configured.
If an Event viewer is not currently visible in the Monitoring Station, the first Application Layout tab, from left to
right, that contains an Event Viewer becomes the active tab. If the Monitoring Station is minimized, it is restored to
the display.
If the Monitoring Station is not open in front of all the currently opened windows, it is pushed to the front so that it
is visible to the Operator.

Dual Phase Acknowledgement
Dual Phase Acknowledgement
Dual Phase Acknowledgement manages events by requiring that an event remain active after it is acknowledged
until it is cleared.
■ By default, an event is automatically removed from Pending Clear and back to
NOTE requiring Acknowledgement if the event is reactivated.
■ If you are using victor and acknowledge and/or clear an event in the C•CURE 9000
Monitoring Station, the event is automatically acknowledged and/or cleared in victor.
■ Dual Phase Acknowledgement can be configured to Acknowledge and Clear events in
one Event pane. However, it is recommended to have events which need to be cleared
in a separate pane then those needing to be acknowledged.
See the following for more information:
• Dual Phase Acknowledgement Event Viewer on Page 39
• Setting Up Dual Phase Acknowledgement on Page 40
• Dual Phase Acknowledgement and Clearing Events on Page 57
Dual Phase Acknowledgement Event Viewer
Figure 9 on Page 40 shows a Dual Phase Acknowledgement configuration. In this example, the Application Layout
was configured to use Dual Phase Acknowledgement in two panes, as well as the Activity Viewer, therefore
displaying three panes:
■ Event Viewer (top pane) - Displays Events which require no action and Events Pending Acknowledgement, and
Events pending Acknowledgement and requiring Clearing.
■ Events Viewer (middle pane) - Displays Events Pending Clear.
■ Activity Viewer (bottom pane) - Displays all system activity.

Assessing Events
Assessing Events
The Monitoring Station Event Viewer provides the capability to Assess Events using the Assess Event button or
context menu selection.
Event assessment is the process of evaluating and resolving an Event according to site procedures, using an
application layout that is customized to show the Operator all the information they need to handle the Event.
An Operator who has the Assess Event Privilege can assess an Event that has associated Assess Event Viewers,
using the Assess Event button to open an Assess Event Application Layout.
For more information about Event Assessment, see:

Event Assessment Overview
Event Assessment provides Operators with the capability to see at a glance all of the pertinent information about an
Event and to act on that Event quickly and efficiently.
If the Monitoring Station Application layout displays an Assess Event button, a selected Event that includes Assess
Event information can be assessed by pressing this button.
The capabilities available when assessing an Event are determined by the Application Layout(s) an Operator can
access in the Monitoring Station. These can include:
■ Live video related to the Event.
■ Recorded video related to the Event.
■ Documents detailing event procedures, details about the building, or any other information you deem pertinent.
■ A map of the vicinity of the Event.

Assessing Events
■ A Query related to the Event.
■ A Journal History related to the Event.
■ The Event Details.
■ A Report related to the Event.
The following topics explain how to configure and use the Assess Event capabilities of the Monitoring Station:
■ Setting Up Event Assessment on Page 43 explains how to configure your Events to facilitate Event Assessment.
■ Assessing an Event on Page 44 explains how to configure Application Layouts to support the assessment of your
Events.
■ Acknowledging an Assessed Event on Page 45 explains what tools you can use to acknowledge an Event, and
what happens to the Assess Event Application layout after you acknowledge the Event.
■ Acknowledging an Assessed Event that also requires Clearing explains what tools you can use to acknowledge
an event and then clear the event, and what happens to the Assess Event Application Layout after you
acknowledge and clear the Event.
■ Event Quick Action Toolbar on Page 32 describes the Quick Action Toolbar provided to facilitate assessment of
Events.
Setting Up Event Assessment
Event assessment is configured using the Administration client application by creating an Application layout
designed to assess Events, then configuring the Events you plan to assess with the viewers that you placed on the
Assess Event Application Layout.
Event Assessment configuration needs to be completed before an Operator running the Monitoring
NOTE
Station can perform Event Assessment.
See the C•CURE 9000 Data Views Guide for creating an Application Layout.
See the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide for configuring an Event for assessment and for
importing Documents that can be referenced in an Event.
If an Event is not configured to include the Viewers on the Assess Event Application Layout, these Viewers will not
contain Event-specific information.
Before configuring Event Assessment, you should review your procedures for having Operators deal with
C•CURE 9000 Events using the Monitoring Station, so that you can create an Application layout containing viewers
that will facilitate the Event assessment process.
Example
If your procedures for an Operator to assess Events requires the Operator to follow a documented procedure,
view any recorded video of the Event, and Acknowledge the Event, you can construct an Application layout
that:
■ Displays a document that provides the Event Assessment procedure steps.
■ Displays one or more Recorded Video Viewers so the Operator can instantly view the recorded
video without manually searching.
C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide Chapter 2 43
EFTA01226688
Assessing Events
• Displays the Quick Action Toolbar so that the Operator can Acknowledge the Event easily and
promptly.
Example
An Operator using the Monitoring Station when an Event occurs can click the Event Viewer
Display Recorded Video Quick Action button to pop open a camera viewer and view the recorded
video associated with the Event.
If you want your Operators to be able to watch recorded video of the area where the event occurred,
you need to:
• Configure your Events to perform a Camera Action when the Event is activated. See the Events
chapter in the C• CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide.
• Configure an Assess Event Application Layout that includes a recorded video viewer to display the
video for the Operator, so that the Operator does not have to manually open the video device and
search for the video. See the Application Layout chapter in the C• CURE 9000 Data Views Guide.
Privileges for Event Assessment
For a Monitoring Station Operator to perform Event Assessment, the Operator must have the following minimum
Privileges:
• Read permission for Application Layouts.
• Read permission for Assess Event in Events.
• Read and View permissions for Document objects (if included in assessments)
• On the Viewable Message Types tab, Event Assess Message should be enabled.
For a C•CURE 9000 System that is upgraded to version 2.01, existing Operator Privileges will be set so that these
Privileges are not enabled, so that Operators do not gain unintended access to a new feature.
This means that an Operator who does not have System MI Privilege will need to have the above Privileges enabled
in order to Assess Events.
Assessing an Event
You can click the Assess Event button on the Event Viewer toolbar to open an Assess Event Application layout to
perform Event assessment. This button is available only if the Event has an Assess Event application layout
associated with it.

Alternatively, you can use the Assess Event context menu selection to open the Assess Event
NOTE
Application layout for a selected Event.
When you click the Assess Event button, the Assess Event Application layout associated with this Event opens.

EFTA01226689
Assessing Events
Also, a Journal Message is recorded in the Activity Viewer (unless the Event Assess Message option was cleared
when the Activity Viewer was configured in the Application layout editor).
The Assess Event Application layout is customized to show the Event viewers specific to the Event,
NOTE
as configured by your administrator. The steps you take to Assess an Event are therefore dependent
upon your sites configuration and procedures.
If you open more than one Assess Event Application Layout, the layout tabs for each Event are stacked under the
Event Assess tab so that you can switch between Events. You can have up to five Assess Event Application layouts
open at onece.

Actrvily Viewer Overview
Activity Viewer Overview
The Activity Viewer tracks all system activities, such as user log on, personnel accesses, security object state changes,
partition changes, device errors, and messages.
Figure 22 on Page 73 shows the Activity Viewer.
An Activity Viewer can be added to an Application Layout using the Application Layout editor in the
Administration client. If an Activity Viewer is not available on an Application Layout, it can be added by an
Operator with Privileges to edit Application Layouts.
As new activities occur, they appear at the bottom of the Activity Viewer list. After a certain amount of time (set by
the system administrator), the cursor returns to the bottom of the list to display the most recent message.
Your Privileges determine whether the Activity Viewer displays certain security objects and events.
Activities in the list are displayed in rows that contain an icon, the date and time of the activity, the type of activity
or object, its name, the object's partition name [in brackets], and an activity message. You can click the activity icon
to view additional information about the object, or right-click the icon to display the context menu for more options
or to initiate a manual action.
The Activity Viewer Toolbar lets you navigate through the list of activities. See Activity Viewer Definitions on Page
72 for more information.
You can right-click on an activity row to perform manual actions on the security object that caused the activity.
When you right-click on an activity row and the context menu appears, auto scrolling of the Activity list is disabled
to allow you to click the desired action. Auto scrolling is re-enabled after the context menu closes.
The Activity Viewer Status Bar is at the bottom of the Activity window. The Count field, in the lower right-hand
corner of the status bar, shows the total number of activity items listed in the viewer.

Filtering of Activity to Applicabon Layouts
Filtering of Activity to Application Layouts
The way Activity messages are "filtered" to the Monitoring Station is based on the permissions in the privileges
assigned to the Operator. The Administrator creates a Privilege in which Permissions are configured on any of
several tabs on the Privilege Editor at the Administration station. When the permissions are configured, the Privilege
can then be assigned to an operator. At the Monitoring Station, that operator may view certain types of messages,
edit certain objects, take manual action on or change the partition of certain objects, all according to the Privilege(s)
assigned.
■ Permissions per Class of Object in Operator Privilege on Page 85
■ Messages to the Monitoring Station on Page 85
■ Messages from Partitions to the Monitoring Station on Page 86
Permissions per Class of Object in Operator Privilege
Each class of objects (such as apC Door, Operator, Event, Report) has a number of permissions (such as No Access,
Read, Edit, Delete, Find in Journal, Unlock, Change Partition) within a privilege that may be "granted" and
configured as part of the privilege.
If an operator is assigned this privilege, that operator may perform the functions granted in the privilege and may
not perform functions that were not granted. If the Administrator selects the "No Access" permission, this negates
access to all other permissions for the particular class of objects.
Messages to the Monitoring Station
Messages are "filtered" and displayed in the Activity viewer based on a check of all the permissions granted in the
privilege assigned to the Operator.
If the Operator's permissions include at least "Read Access" for the object in the message and permission to view
that message type, the operator will be able to read a message in the Activity Viewer.
If the message pertains to more than one object, the Operator needs to have at least Read Access for one or more of
the objects in the message and permission to "View Message Type" to be able to read the message.
To perform Manual Actions (Lock, Unlock, Momentary Unlock, Activate or Deactivate) at the Monitoring Station, the
Operator needs to have permissions for these actions granted for each object in the message. Otherwise, the Operator
will only be able to read the message in the viewer.
Figure 23 on Page 86 shows the Monitoring Station with messages in the Activity Viewer (bottom center). This user
has Full Privilege in all Partitions.

Messages from Partitions to the Monitoring Station
The Monitoring Station will report active Events and display Activities from different partitions in the system. The
display of Activities at the Monitoring Station is based on what permissions were selected per class of object in the
Operator's privilege. Permissions determine what the Operator can do at the Monitoring Station, from read-only, edit,
perform manual actions, or change partition of an object, even if the object is in a different partition. These
permissions are configured in the privilege at the Administration station.
An Operator created in the Default partition automatically receives:
• System MI (Default) privilege to the Default partition. This gives the Operator access to every object in all
partitions.
This privilege may be replaced with another, more limited privilege. However, if this privilege is removed and no
other privilege is assigned, the Operator will not be able to view or do anything at the Monitoring Station.
An Operator created in a partition other than the Default partition automatically receives two privileges to that
partition:
• Full Privilege for Partition (partition_name). This provides full access to all objects in that partition.
88 Chapter 3 C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide
EFTA01226731
Flawing of Activity to Applitadon Layouts
■ Read Access to predefined objects (Default). This allows the operator to view certain objects in the Default
partition.
If the Full Privilege for Partition (partition_name) is removed from the Operator's list of privileges, the Administrator
must add another privilege with at least Read access to allow the operator to perform some functions at the
Monitoring Station. Otherwise, the operator would not be able to use the Monitoring Station at all.
Messages from partitions are "filtered" and displayed in the Monitoring Station's Activity Viewer based on a check
of the Operator's privileges for access to objects and to partitions. If the Operator has at least "Read Access" for the
object in the message—even if the object is in a different partition—the operator will be able to read the entire message.
If the message pertains to more than one object, the Operator needs to have a privilege to the partition and have at
least Read Access one or more of the objects in the message in order to see the message. To perform any of the
Manual Action at the Monitoring Station, the operator needs the appropriate permission on each of the objects in the
message. Otherwise, the operator will only be able to read the message.
For more details on Operator privileges in a partition, refer to the chapter on "Partition" in the C•CURE 9000
Software Configuration Guide.

For all windows (Event Viewer, Activity Viewer, Dynamic views, Maps, Video, etc.,) the window border will be gray,
the window title will display "[Monitoring Workstation Offline]," and Dynamic Icons will turn gray. Any activity
that requires server interaction (such as opening a new view window) will be disabled.
When communication is restored to at least one server, the "Offline" in window titles will change to "[server name),"
the window border colors and Explorer bars will be restored, and any buttons that were disabled will be enabled.
Restoring the Views
Activity Viewer - a new message in the Activity Viewer will be added indicating that communication is restored and
the system is back online. Any icons that indicate the status of old activity are not updated unless they are reporting
new activity by the same object, so old icons with old messages and no new activity on their objects remain gray. In
other words, the application will not fetch status for old objects in the Activity Viewer.
Event Viewer - will clear all old icons and entries and re-fetch the status of active events.
Dynamic Views - will not automatically refresh. The window titles will replace "[Monitoring Workstation Offline]"
with "[Monitoring Workstation Out of Date]."
Maps - Icons will be cleared and re-fetched to show current status.

Explorer Bar Overview
The Explorer Bar provides easy access to the status of selected objects in the C•CURE 9000 System. You can open
status lists for each item shown in the Explorer Bar Non-Hardware, Hardware, Video and custom category sections.
You can launch external applications that have been configured for your system from the External Applications
section of the Explorer Bar.
The status list information refreshes automatically, showing items that have changed values and new items that
were not included before.
When you drag a status popup viewer anywhere on the Monitoring Station's viewing area and close
TIP the popup, that same popup will open in the location where it was last closed. Such popup views
include reports, queries, maps, Video Edge cameras, Intellex cameras, Intellex servers, Axis cameras,
video views and video tours.

Explorer Bar Overview
Recalling a Query
You can recall a quay that was used to create the Status List of objects to see the parameters and values that
generated the list. You can also change the query and rerun it to obtain a different list of records from the database.
The query results displayed from the database are not filtered.
-SM
To retrieve the query that created the Status List for an item in the Explorer Bar
1. Open a Status List by clicking an item in the Explorer Bar.
2. Click X. ' to recall the query and open the Quay parameters dialog box.
If no quay was run to create the Status List, the Quay parameters box will have no entries.
From the Query parameters dialog box, you can run a new quay for the selected item or, if a quay was
previously run on the item, you can click the "Modify" button to switch to the Quay Edit mode, edit the field
selections and values, and rerun the quay. The button then displays as "Prompts;' which would switch the
screen back to the original query.
a. Click Add to add a row (or several rows) for entering query criteria.
b. Click Add Block to add one or more rows whose "and/or" relationship is resolved before other rows, much
like a parenthetical element in a mathematical or logical expression.
Without "Blocks;' the search criteria for each row is resolved in top to bottom order. (For some queries, you
may need to use blocks to get the results you want.)
c. Click Clear Prompt Values to clear the old prompt values and enter different ones.
d. Click the arrows next to the fields to select quay criteria from the drop-down lists. In the Value field, you can
type in a value or leave the default entry.
By default, <IGNORED> is displayed in the Value field, indicating that the corresponding field will not be
searched when the quay is run. Instead of using the default, you may type in your search value in this field.
To reset the Value field to <IGNORED>, click the Modify button and click Clear Prompt Values.
If you leave the Value field blank, the system will search for a value that is an empty field.
NOTE
3. When finished entering quay criteria, click Run to run the quay. Results display in a new Status List window.
For more information on creating and running queries, refer to the C•CURE 9000 Data Views Guide.
Exporting a Selection from a Status List
You can use the context menu selection Export Selection to export one or more records displayed in a Status List to
either an XML or a CSV file. This allows you to quickly and easily create XML/CSV reports on selected C•CURE
9000 data.
■ When you export to an XML file, all available data in all columns of the Dynamic View, whether displayed or
not—as well as all the child objects of the selected record(s), is exported.
■ When you export to a CSV file, only data in the columns displaying in the Status List is exported, and in the
order displayed. This allows you to both select and arrange data fields for your report. Furthermore, exporting to
a CSV file allows you to view the exported data in an Excel spreadsheet and further manipulate it for your use.

Object Viewer 135
C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide Chapters 133
EFTA01226778
Object Viewer Overview
Object Viewer Overview
An Object Viewer displays a specific C•CURE 9000 object that was selected when the Application Layout was
designed. The Object is displayed in the Viewer for its object type. For example, a Map is displayed in the Map
Viewer, while a Report Result is displayed in the Report Result Viewer.
One of the main uses for the Object Viewer is to display Video Camera Views and Tours. Because you can display
multiple tabs in a Pane, you could have multiple Video viewers in a single Pane, and switch between them by
clicking the tabs. See the Video Monitoring Overview on Page 150 for more information.
Notably, an Object Viewer that displays a Dynamic View of an object type allows you to open multiple objects in a
Popup window.
Example:
If the Object Viewer displays a Dynamic View listing all Maps in the system, you can right-click to open a
context menu, and choose Popup View to display any Map in the list.
The following Objects can be displayed in an Object Viewer.

Object Viewer
Object Viewer
An Object Viewer displays the view interface for an object. For example, an Object Viewer that is configured to show
a Map object uses the Map Viewer interface and its associated controls to display the Map in the Monitoring Station.
The Object that appears in an Object Viewer is specified in the Application Layout Editor. The Administrator
designing the layout specifies the object type and the specific object that appears in the Viewer.
Example:
To show a map in the Object Viewer, you would configure the Viewer in the Application Layout Editor to
contain the Map object type, and then select a specific Map object to display.
Typically, the most common use for the Object Viewer is to display live video from Video objects. See the C•CURE
9000 Video Guide for more information. Figure 34 on Page 135 shows an example of a Monitoring Station
Application layout that displays video in several Panes.
Figure 34: Object Viewers In a Monitoring Station Layout
If the Application layout and your privileges allow, you can change the way the Object Viewers are displayed in the
Monitoring Station:
■ You can double-click the Object Viewer title bar to open the Viewer in a pop-up window that you can move
anywhere on your display. See Floating a Pane on Page 27.
■ You can Auto hide the Viewer by docking it to the nearest side of the Application layout. See Docking a Pane on
Page 26.
■ You can resize the Viewer's Pane in the Layout by dragging its sides. See Resizing a Pane on Page 26.
For more information on these viewers and how to use them, see the online help for that object type.

Swipe and Show
The Swipe and Show viewer displays personnel portraits and cardholder information when an access attempt is
made at a door or elevator configured for this control. This viewer can be used in combination with Video viewers
that provide camera views of the doors or elevators configured for the Swipe and Show viewer, thus creating an
effective way of monitoring access activity at multiple access points.
When a Swipe and Show viewer is added to the Application Layout, the doors and elevators to be monitored and
the type of activities to be monitored (Admitted and/or Rejected access) are configured in the Application Layout
Editor. A Swipe and Show Viewer can be configured to contain multiple portrait images on a screen at a time.
Viewers can be re-sized to match the size of the Monitoring Station screen.
If the Application Layout and your privileges allow, you can change the way the Swipe and Show Viewer is
displayed in the Monitoring Station:
■ You can double-click the Swipe and Show Viewer title bar to open the Viewer in a pop-up window that you can
move anywhere on your display. Double-click the title bar again to return it to the layout. See Floating a Pane on
Page 27.
■ You can Auto hide the Viewer by docking it to the nearest side of the Application Layout. See Docking a Pane on
Page 26.
■ You can resize the Viewer's pane in the layout by dragging its sides. See Resizing a Pane on Page 26.

Manual Actions
A Manual Action is a specific type of action that the Operator can perform on objects in the system. Manual Actions
are those actions that open a Manual Action dialog box, and the actions are also logged in the Activity Viewer as
"Manual Event by Operator Name," along with the Name of the action, Name of the Event, Partition, date and time.
Manual Actions typically are performed on events in the Event Viewer but may also be performed on doors and
outputs.
For example, an Operator would perform a manual action by selecting an Event in the Event Viewer, right-clicking,
and selecting a Manual Action from the context menu. The context menu may display other options, depending on
the Operator's privileges. The context menu options that are Manual Actions are:
■ Activate
■ Deactivate
■ Ann
■ Disarm
■ Lock
■ Unlock
■ Momentary Unlock
When selected, these menu options open a Manual Action dialog box, and the actions are logged in the Activity
Viewer. Figure 39 on Page 159 shows the Manual Action dialog box. After you Save and Close to execute the Manual
Action, the Manual Action is logged in the Activity Viewer.
