To Place a Resource in a Branch
Among other things, the Site Map is used to move objects to or between branches.
- First, create the resource (e.g. camera, user, device manager, etc.) in the main/top-level branch.
- Create the branch (if not already done).
- Click the 'Site Map' icon located in the upper right portion of the Control Bar.
A pop-up appears displaying branches and video sources.
- Click 'Expand all' to be sure all levels are visible.
- To see all objects, click the box for 'Show all entities (including users, alarms and servers)'.
-
- Drag and drop the resource from the list to the desired branch.
- Repeat for each resource.
- 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:
- Slave cores on the branch
- Device Managers and corresponding cameras
- Alarm scenarios associated with the device manager
- VA Motion Detection (MD) modules related to the cameras
Also, moving objects between branches may cause inconsistent references. Therefore, it is important to perform a consistency check.
