What is the navigation panel?

The navigation panel is located on the left side of the screen and facilitates the navigation through the Spaces and Network tabs.

Can I resize the navigation panel?

Yes, you can resize the navigation panel on a computer platform by dragging the double-headed arrow. The panel retains the resizing when you navigate to the Graphics Manager, for example, but the resizing does not persist on logout.

Note: If the width of the navigation panel exceeds half the width of the screen, the Page navigation drop-down moves from the upper-right corner to the upper-left corner, and the page references disappear. The navigation panel resizing applies to the current user logged in.

How do I open or close the navigation panel?

To open or close the navigation panel, click the hamburger icon.

Note: If you use the browser's zoom feature on your client computer, the navigation panel may not close. Set the zoom level to 100% for proper operation of the navigation panel.

What is a space?

Spaces help you organize the information displayed for the Metasys system into physical locations (a campus and its buildings) and areas within those locations (floors, zones, and rooms). The hierarchy resembles the physical world to help you navigate your Metasys system. Each space has a hierarchical relationship to other spaces, as well as a served-by relationship to the equipment that provides services to the space. For more information on how to configure spaces and equipment, refer to the SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) .

How do I navigate through the hierarchy of the trees?

The navigation panel shows the list of spaces, point objects, and extensions objects that have been configured to organize the information in your Metasys system. To navigate to a specific room, select the highest level in your Spaces tab. For example, first select your building, then your floor, then finally your room on that floor. To navigate to a network object, click the Network tab. For example, to navigate to an IP controller, first expand the relevant engine and then the relevant BACnet Integration object. To navigate to an object in your assigned User Views, click the Views tab, select the relevant User View from the list, if there are more than one, and navigate to the required object.

How do I get back to the space or object I was previously at?

To navigate to a previous space, use your browser's back button or use the navigation panel. You can also navigate to a previous space or object by clicking on the hyperlink in the breadcrumb hierarchy.

How do I bookmark a location to return to later?

Use your browser's bookmarking capabilities to return to a frequently visited space.

Note: If a change is made to the Spaces tree that adds a space above the bookmarked space after you make a bookmark, an Invalid Space ID message appears on the screen and you are re-directed to the root space.
