Switch-over between Map layers

If the Map is multilayer, the layer switch-over function will be provided. Switching over the map layers is performed by one of the following ways:

1. Using the connections between layers.
2. Using the Map feature menu.

 Automated switch-over between Map layers is also supported. If automated switch-over is enabled, the program automatically transfers to the Map layer where one of the devices has registered an alarm event. For instance, if the Map window is displaying A layer and at this point of time an alarm event is registered on B layer, the program will automatically switch-over to B layer and show it in the window. In this case a window displaying the Map may be shown overlaid over all other windows. Automated switch-over between Map layers is configured and initiated at the program configuration stage.

Switch over the Map layers using the links

To switch over the map layers create the special links between the Map layers during the Program configuration.

To switch between the Map layers uses the appropriate or  button.

Each layer of the Map may accommodate an indefinite number of interlayer link symbols referring to any layer existing on the Map.

To switch to another Map layer, left click the  symbol, which corresponds to the required layer with the left mouse button.

Moreover, recursive search for alarming links on the Map is also supported. If this feature is on, devices which have registered an alarm event, are searched for automatically across all Map layers. For instance, there are supposedly 3 layers, where layer 1 is linked to layer 2, and layer 2 is linked to layer 3. If the Recursive alarming links search option is enabled, a 3 layer link symbol on layer 2 and also a 2 layer link symbol on layer 1 will start blinking as soon as an alarm event is registered on layer 3. Otherwise, if Recursive alarming links search is not on, only a 3 layer link symbol on layer 2 will be blinking. The Recursive alarm links search option is initiated at the program configuration stage.

Switch over the Map layers using the feature menu

To switch over the map layers using the feature menu right-click on the map area free from the object symbols.

In the opened feature menu select the Layers item and specify the layer to switch to. If Map layers  were grouped to folders in the object tree at the system configuration stage, then at first select the corresponding folder and then the required layer.

This way of switching over the map layers does not require the previous settings and allows switching over the current layer to any other layer permitted to the user by rights.
