When using multilayer interactive maps in Intellect, it is possible to set rules for moving to the layers that have objects that triggered an Alarm.
The following ways of displaying the layer with an alarm signal exist in Intellect:
- When an Alarm occurs, the interactive Map window opens above all other active windows showing the layer with an alarm, including the objects and their corresponding symbols on the layer.
- The layer with a registered Alarm displays automatically.
- The links recursively lead to the layer with an alarm signal.
Displaying the Map over all windows
To open the Map window above all other windows, set the Over all windows when alarm checkbox (1) and click the Apply button in the settings panel of the Map object. The Map window will now open on top of other windows in case of alarm registration.
Note
If the Map has multiple layers, this setting will only work for the active layer.
Example 1: Layer 1 is active, alarm signal is on Layer 2. The Map will not be displayed over all windows.
Example 2: Layer 2 is active, alarm signal is on Layer 2. The Map will be displayed over all windows.
In order to display the Map over all windows regardless of the active layer, you should enable Autoswitch (described below).
Autoswitch to a layer with an alarm signal
In order to automatically switch to the layer with an Alarm signal, set the Autoswitch checkbox (2) and click the Apply button. As a result, the layer with an alarm signal will be activated when an Alarm occurs.
Recursive search for a layer with an alarm signal
To make it possible to move from the current layer to any other layer on multilayer maps, the sequential links to other layers should be specified. If the links recursively connect all layers of the map, the recursive links can be used for registering an Alarm on one of the layers. To enable recursive search of a layer with a registered Alarm, set the Search alarmed links recursively checkbox (3) and click the Apply button in the settings panel of the Map object. If there are many layers, then you can limit the Search depth for links across layers by setting the required value in field (4):
- empty field—search across layers is not limited;
- 0—related layers are not taken into account during search, that is, in case of alarm, only the layer on which the alarm occurred will blink;
- >0—indicates the number of layers through which the search will be performed. For example, the Map has 6 interconnected layers and the alarm appeared on the 3rd layer. If the key value=1, the alarm will blink on layer 3, as well as on layers 2 and 4.
Note
The Search depth parameter in the interface is similar to the AlarmLinkSearchDepthKey registry key (see Registry keys reference guide): if the key was created earlier than the interface parameter was set, then the field is filled in based on the key value.
If the key is created on the Remote Client, then the value from the key will be used on the Remote Client, regardless of the Search depth parameter value specified on the Server. If a key is not created on the Remote Client, then the Server Search depth is used everywhere.
Examples:
- The Search depth is set to 1 on the Server; the key is not created on the Remote Client. Result: on the Server and on the Remote Client, the search depth is 1.
- The Search depth is set to 1 on the Server, the AlarmLinkSearchDepthKey with the value 2 is created on the Remote Client. Result: the search depth on the Server is 1, on the Remote Client it is 2.
The recursive search of objects on the Map is a type of search when it is possible to move to a layer with an alarm from a layer with a link by successive transitions to neighbor layers, using sequential links. If the Search for the shortest path checkbox is set (5), the shortest path to the layer with an alarm will be chosen automatically.
Example
The 1st layer contains the link to the 2nd layer, and the 2nd layer contains the link to the 3rd layer. The 1st layer is currently active. An alarm is triggered on the 3rd layer. If the recursive search is on, the link from the 1st to the 2nd layer will blink, and the link from the 2nd to the 3rd layer will blink. If the recursive search is off, only the link from the 2nd to the 3rd layer will blink, not allowing the operator to see the alarm if the 1st layer is active.
Example
The 1st layer contains the links to the 2nd and the 3d layers, and the 2nd layer contains the link to the 3d layer (i.e. there are two ways to reach the 3d layer: directly or via the 2nd layer). Let the 1st layer be currently active. An Alarm comes from the 3d layer. If recursive search is on and the Search for the shortest path checkbox is set on the 1st (active) layer, the link to the 3rd layer will blink. If the Search for the shortest path checkbox is not set, the links to the 2nd and 3rd layer will blink on the 1st layer.
