Alarm Cast Administrator Other Tools: Toolbar and Tree
The Alarm Cast Administrator user interface is conveniently displayed in a tree view. The Server, when expanded, shows folders for Devices, Providers, Destinations, and Distribution Lists. They enable the user to add information about the devices the server will use to communicate with the destinations and will serve as shortcuts to already configured Destinations and Distribution Lists, allowing the user to quickly locate this information without knowing the device that supports them.
Under the Devices folder, there will be a Provider folder which contains the providers set up under that particular device. The same providers are also listed under the main Provider folder.
Under the Providers folder, there will be Destinations folder which contains the destinations set up under that particular provider. ??The same destinations are also listed under the main Destinations folder. ??
The Distribution Lists folder also contains a Destinations folder which contains the destinations included under each particular list.
Anything created on the tree view side of the screen (left-pane) can be modified or deleted at any time. You can also change the state to disable.
Tree View Items: Modify
Select the item you want to alter. The information regarding it will show up on the right hand side of the screen. At this point, you can change the name along with any other variables attached to it (e.g. configuration settings etc.)When you save your changes, they will appear in the Tree View.
Tree View Items: Delete
There are two ways to delete items on the Tree View side of your screen. By selecting the item you want to delete, you can choose Edit >Delete on the Menu bar or simply click the red Delete symbol ( X).
In certain applications, if a particular item is being used in another part of the application, you will not be able to delete it at that level. You must go further down in the Tree View to discern where it is being used, and delete it there first.
