The
Spatial Management Client retrieves
all tags for an area in the following cases:
- When an area is opened
- When the class filter is changed
- Every n polling intervals. The value of n is
set according to the <DisplayRefreshCounter> parameter
in the prefsV3.xml file. If this parameter is
not present in the prefsV3.xml file or it is
set to 0, then a full redraw is not scheduled on
the Spatial Management Client.
In all other cases, tags are only refreshed when they change
their position or they change their alert state.
- AREA
Select the area that you want to monitor
from the drop-down list.
- TAGS
Select the class of tags that you want
to monitor. For example, select Asset to view all hardware
that has been defined.
- ZONES
Visible: Select the category
of zones to view.
- ALERTS
Sound: Turn the alert sound On or Off.
Hide: To
view all alerts, select No. To hide all alerts, select Yes.
Tag
filter: Filter the tags displayed. The options are
2d/2d,
p-data,
inactive,
alerts
only, and
all.
Note: These tag filters do not affect the
zone tag count. They only affect what you can see on the map. For
example, if there are three tags in zone Z and one of them has no
accurate location information (it has only proximity data) and you
filter the tags by p-data, only one tag remains visible on the map,
but the tag count for zone Z still shows 3.
- DEFAULT VIEW
Click Save to save
the current scaling, positioning, and menu settings to your user preferences.
You can customize the view and scale of the drawing without having
to repeat the process every time you start the Spatial Management Client.
- OVERVIEW
This window provides a view of
the entire area. Drag the box around the overview window and notice
that the main graphic window of the Spatial Management Client reflects
the highlighted area. The box size is controlled by the zoom slider
and zoom box controls below. The upper-left corner of the box and
the upper-left corner of the main graphic window are the same point.
- Cluster view
When several tags are close
together and cannot be distinguished from each other, the cluster
icon displays to indicate that there are several icons overlaying
each other. Icons might overlay because the icons are too large, the
current zoom is not close enough, or the tags are reported to have
the same coordinates. To correct overlaying tags, try one of the following:
- Downscale the size of the icons until they do not overlay each
other.
To configure the size of the icons that display in the cluster
view of the main window:
- Press the Ctrl key plus the space bar to display the Tag Zoom
Control window. Then click Up to enlarge the icons or Down to
shrink the icons. Icons resize immediately.
- To close the dialog window, close the window or press the Ctrl
key plus the space bar again. You can save the configured icon size
with your user preferences.
- Zoom closer to the icons until you can distinguish them from each
other.
- Click the cluster icon to get a list of icons within the cluster.
A window opens to display all the icons of the cluster and the information
for each tag according to the current configuration (for example,
labels, X and Y coordinates, and alerts). To see more information
about a tag, click the appropriate icon and the information appears
in the detail view while the cluster view window closes.
- Zoom selection rectangle
Click on the dotted
rectangle (zoom selection rectangle) and move the pointer to the main
graphic window where you can click and drag to create a zoom selection
rectangle. When you release the mouse, the window zooms into the selected
area.
- Zoom slider
Use the slider to enlarge or
shrink the current image in the main window. You can drag the slider
button, click on the hashed lines, or click the magnifying glass icon
to change the zoom.
Note: When you have highly magnified an area,
the blue box in the overview window might not be able to represent
the area and it becomes a small black rectangle and no longer zooms.
You can still drag the box to pan another area.
- Count
The Count window is a draggable window
(click and press Shift to drag) that provides a list of areas, subareas,
and zones and the number of tags currently in them. Only those zones
that match the type of zones set to visible in the
ZONES drop
down menu are displayed.
- Click the area or zone name to display a current tag count window
that lists the number of tags in the area and zone. All subareas and
zones are listed under the area they are associated with.
- Click Hide to hide the area or zone or Show to display
the area or zone on the main window.
Note: Only content filters, such as filtering for all the tags
in the Person class, affect the zone count. Technical filters for
details about the tags (2d/3d, p-data, and so on) apply to the visibility
of the tags on the map, but they do not affect the zone counts.
- Evacuation View
Click this button to open a
new window that displays the zones within the selected area and the
number of tags within the zones. Click a zone to expand details about
the tags within the zone. You can open multiple evacuation views at
one time.
The tags shown within the zones will be filtered
based on any search criteria you specify in the main view and you
can click the pause button in the evacuation view to pause and view
the tag information at a specific instance. You can also open the
evacuation view when you are replaying data.
If you want to
view an evacuation view for another area, you must open another instance
of the Spatial Management Client.
- Search
Click this button to search by class,
group, or tag properties, or a combination of them.
Note: The search
is not case sensitive. Also, the AND and OR only
apply to the filter attributes within the class, group, and tag criteria.
When you search by a combination of class, group, and tag criteria,
they are always combined by AND.
- Class Properties
Select a class or classes to search
for. Enter your search criteria. Click AND if all the search
criteria you enter must be found or click OR to display search
results for any search criteria that you enter.

you enter must be found or click OR to display search results
for any search criteria that you enter.
Click Search to search for the specified criteria or
click Reset to clear all entries and perform a new search.
Search results are displayed in a table or list format. When you select
a tag in the table or list, the tag will be highlighted by a circle
in the Spatial Management Client.
If the tag is located in a different area, the area will open in the Spatial Management Client.
Click Save to save the results to a file or close the window
to exit without saving.
- Replay
Click this button to replay tag movements
and events that occurred during a specific time frame.
A window
displays. Enter the start and end date and time for the period of
time you want to replay and click Enable Replay Console.
Select
the area for which you want to display tag movements and events. Then
click
Play in the replay dialog to the right of the main window
to watch the tag movements and events that occurred in the area during
the specified time frame. Click
Pause to pause events and
Resume to
resume playing them. Click
Exit to close the replay dialog
and to return to the current area and time.
Note: Times
are relative to times on the database server. The machines that host
the database server and
WebSphere® Application Server must
be set to the same time zone.
- Group Color On/Off
Click this button to
turn group color on or off. The color associated with the group in
the Groups Manager portlet is seen as a colored rectangle behind the
tag icon. Group color is off by default.
