What’s New in viewLinc
Locations : A Location is a ‘data point’ which can be linked to
any channel and is located in a hierarchical tree of zones.
The Locations feature replaces the previous channels/my
channels functionality, providing improved customization and
flexibility with more information available from the tree view.
Views
:
A View is a customized combination of locations
selected from all available zones by the user. They offer the
flexibility of navigating a tree view similar to the locations
view with a customized hierarchical zone organization. They
can be customized so a user can create a view of all location
readings regardless of zone. These Views remain saved and
allow each user to have the software set up in a way that
better suits their role or job function.
Trends : Trends are custom graphs which can be built with
user friendly drag and drop functionality. The trend view
allows you to combine, contrast and compare location history
in visual graphs using real-time data.
Dashboards : Dashboards provide the ability to upload a
custom image for any zone or view and place locations on
this image (for example a map or floor plan). They provide a
customized display of the current readings at several
locations at a glance.
