Spatial Management Client (administration)
This topic describes the administration version of the Spatial Management Client.
- 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.
- 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.
If you experience problems with the Spatial Management Client, refer to the troubleshooting tips in the product documentation for possible solutions.
- 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 or area 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. When you set a filter, an error message appears to remind you of this discrepancy in the tag count. - 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 and log in with your user ID.
When you click Save, the values for the currently selected area are saved. You can press this button for each area. Then, when you switch to an area that has a saved value, the saved setting information is used. The area where you last pressed Save is the area that is shown first when you access the interface.
You can also save selected tag labels using the Save function. These saved tag labels do not have to be area-specific.
- Draw Trajectory
Click Draw Trajectory to enable the display of a tag's trajectory for certain time period.
- A start time and an end time are required.
- Fill in the value for either the TagId or IconLabel. At least one of these values must be filled. If both are set, then the TagId is used. of both must be filled, if both are set, the tagid is used).
- Number of Points - This value depends on the load of your system and network because the number of hops can be limited. The recommended default value is 2000 tag hops, but you should be sure to configure this value to accurately apply to the quantity of your data. If there are more hops in the selected area in the timeframe given, only every nth point is displayed, so that it fits in the specified number. For example, if you have 9000 entries in your database and specify the Number of Pointsvalue as 2000, then you would see every fifth hop in the tag. This means that you could lose information since the display is truncated to every fifth hop, instead of more frequently, such as every second hop. You will be informed of this truncation of information.
- Timestamp-Interval - the value you specify produces a timestamp at the position of the tag every n seconds. A Timestamp-Interval value of 900 seconds is recommended as a default.
- OVERVIEW
This window provides a view of the entire area. Click and then drag the highlighted area in 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 orDown 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.
- Downscale the size of the icons until they do not overlay each other.
- 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.
- Current tag count by zone/area
The count table 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. - Area List 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 area list 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 area list view to pause and view the tag information at a specific instance. You can also open the area list view when you are replaying data.
If you want to view an area list view for another area, you must open another instance of the Spatial Management Client.
Note: Filtering for a single tag does not apply to the area list view. - 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.
- Group Properties
Select the group to search for. 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.
- Tag Properties
To search for a specific tag, click Tag and enter the 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.
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.
- Class Properties
- 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.Up to five users can use the replay function at any given time. You can track replay accounts using the Replay Accounts Administration portlet in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
Note: When you are using the replay function, you should see the tag count window and the tags in the area; however, for performance optimization reasons, there may be times that the number of tags visible on the screen and the number in the tag count window do not match.- For the tags visible on the screen, only the tags seen by the location event provider after replay starts are drawn.
- For the tag count, the number of tags in a specific area or zone are counted. This count also includes tags that have entered the zone before replay starts but are not responsive after replay starts.
If you see this inconsistency in the number of tags, and you need to see the complete list of tags in an area at a specific point in time, use the Search or the Show all tags options.
- 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.
- Acknowledge All Alerts
Click this button to acknowledge and turn off all current alerts.
- Reporting
Click this button to see a list of defined reports that have been administered in the Reports Administration portlet. Select the Displaylink beside the report in the resulting list that you would like to view. Each report has a set of filter criteria. Click Reload to regenerate the list of reports.
See the Reports Operation documentation for more information.
- Show all tags
This option lists all tags that are currently in the area in a table similar to the Search results window. Selected filters for the area and tags do not apply.
Tags
- 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.
- Select Commands: Hold down the Alt key and click a tag to display the Select Commands window. You can select from the following commands:
- Delete Tag - Removes the tag from the area, leaving the item definition untouched. This action is relevant in scenarios where tags leaving the area cannot be monitored at all times by gates or exit zones. For example, if a tag has left the area, but this has not been recognized by the event provider, you can manually clean up the area by selecting the tag and deleting it.
- Show this Tag only - Filters to show only the selected tag. This is a special tag filter and cannot be saved as a preference. Changing the tag filter or changing the area will take the tag filter away.
- Draw Tag's Trajectory - Starting at the point you select this, a line for the current path of the selected tag is drawn until you select Stop Drawing Tag's Trajectory. If you change the area and then come back to the view for the selected tag, you should still see the trajectory line. This action is only possible for one tag. When you select another tag for trajectory, the line for the previously selected tag is removed.
- Stop Drawing Tag's Trajectory - Stops drawing the line for trajectory, if Draw Tag's Trajectory was selected. Otherwise, choosing this command has no effect on the tag.
