To Place a Resource in a Branch

Among other things, the Site Map is used to move objects to or between branches.

  1. First, create the resource (e.g. camera, user, device manager, etc.) in the main/top-level branch. 1If you are using multiple slave cores, it is recommended to have one installed at the top level before installing slave cores intended for branches. When you first install a slave core, it is located at the top level until you associate it with a branch. If there is no slave core already at the top level, the slave intended for the branch will be given tasks to perform before you have a chance to associate it with a given branch. This can cause it to potentially overload due to poor bandwidth.
  2. Create the branch (if not already done).
  3. Click the 'Site Map' icon located in the upper right portion of the Control Bar.

A pop-up appears displaying branches and video sources.

  1. Drag and drop the resource from the list to the desired branch.
  2. Repeat for each resource.
  3. Click the branch name to see resources associated with that branch.

Resources may only be moved between branches by an administrator at the top level branch.

It is recommended to move the following resources to the branch level including:

Also, moving objects between branches may cause inconsistent references. Therefore, it is important to perform a consistency check.
