Spatial Management Client

This topic describes the Spatial Management Client.

The Spatial Management Client provides a state of the art visual interface which shows the location of tags in real time, allowing an authorized user to monitor employees, contractors, and visitors in hazardous areas, to respond immediately to emergencies, and to locate high-value assets.
Notes: For optimal GUI performance:
  • Use only Internet Explorer 6.0 with the Adobe® Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Viewer for your browser.
  • Maximize the Spatial Management Client for the best results.
  • Restart the GUI whenever you change the screen resolution.
  • Do not use browser functions. For example, using the Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons in the browser can lead to inconsistent displays of areas, tags, and menu options.
For keyboard accessibility of the GUI, edit the Mouse settings.
  1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Accessibility Options.
  2. On the Mouse tab, select Use MouseKeys. This option allows you to control the pointer with the numeric keypad on your keyboard.
The Spatial Management Client retrieves all tags for an area in the following cases: In all other cases, tags are only refreshed when they change their position or they change their alert state.

If you experience problems with the Spatial Management Client, refer to the troubleshooting tips in the product documentation for possible solutions.

Tags

For tags displayed on the Spatial Management Client, use the following features:
  • Tag Details: Click a tag to display details about the tag including its tag ID, coordinates, and the class it belongs to. If there is an alert associated with the tag, you can acknowledge it by clicking Acknowledge Alert.
  • Label: Hold down the Ctrl key and click a tag to display the Label window. Select the information to be displayed for the tag when you hover over it. For example, select Label to display the label text defined for the item, select Tag ID to display the tag ID, or select X, Y, or Z to display location coordinates for the tag.

Zones

Note: In the Spatial Management Client, the term barrier zone is a synonym for a boundary zone, which is defined in the Boundary Zones portlet.
For zones that are displayed on the Spatial Management Client, use the following features:
  • Zone details: Click a zone to display details about the zone including name, function, coordinates, and number of tags in the zone.

    This feature also allows following actions for a zone:

    • Hide zone:: If you select this, the zone is hidden (but tags are still displayed). To show the zone again, use the Count window.
    • Show all tags: This option lists all tags that are currently in the selected zone in a table similar to the Search results window. All selected filters for the zone apply to the search results as well (such as the class and tag properties).
