Subscribing members to a group

There are two ways to make a user or device a member of a group;

  • Assign the group to one of the user's channels. This provides direct control on the channel that the group will be assigned to.
  • Drag and drop a user or device from the tree to a group in the Groups view or to the member list in the Members tab. This will assign the group to the first free channel of this user/device.

Member

The Member column shows the names of the group members and their corresponding channel state. The members' channel states are indicative of which member is sending out which signal.

Channel

The Channel column indicates what channel this group is assigned to by the group member.

Level

The VU meter shows the level of the signal that the group member is sending to the group.

Status

The Status column shows a description of the status of this group member.

Settings Tab

Group-settings

The Settings tab displays the properties that define a group.

  • Name The name of this group, If no display name is given this will be displayed on the device.
  • Display Name The display name is optional and limited to 8 characters. If a display name is entered, it will be displayed on the device.
  • ID the ID of a group is not editable and is defined when a group is created.
  • Description The description is an optional extra field for administrative purposes.
  • Color Sets the color of the group. The color is displayed on devices and in the software when a group is assigned to a channel. This makes it easier to visually distinguish different assignments.

Drag and Drop Groups

A Group can be dragged from the tree and dropped to any of the following places

  • A channel on the channel list of an user. This assigns the group to the target channel, making the user member of this group.
  • A screen part of a device graphic from a device profile or Device. This will assign the Group to the channel associated with the screen part. If the function of that screen part is not a channel it will find the first free channel and set the function accordingly.
  • A Special channel assignment on a Special channels card this will assign the group to the special channel of the associated user or device.
  • On a Flexlist this will append the group to this flexlist
