The Locations screen displays general information about the
corresponding data source. When a location has no data
source associated with it, it will be displayed with a blue
exclamation mark icon. The Locations screen can also
display views by clicking anywhere in the dark grey bar
labelled “Views.” Views have the same functionality as
locations, but are customized versions of the locations tree.
Each View can also have a Trend associated with it that is
displayed in the Trend panel whenever a View is selected. A
Trend is a historical view of Location data.
Most columns in the 4 tabs (Table View, Dashboard, Location
Alarms, Trend) are easy to understand; however, here are
their definitions to help you get familiar with viewLinc. To see
all options, see “Hiding and Showing Location Columns” on
page 36:
