4. Status

The Status Page provides a two-fold administrative functionality for monitoring and
controlling the output behavior of programmable system devices, as well as the monitoring
of live device maps and floorplans.
On the Dashboard itself, the left side of the Dashboard page displays the Activity list. It is a
dynamic system Activity Log that automatically refreshes in three seconds or less with the
most recent events in reverse chronological order (i.e., most recent event at the top;
earliest event at the bottom) and associates these events with a time-stamp and the name
of the device involved. The right side of the Dashboard page displays the Device Status,
Hardware Status, and Schedule Status lists. The Device Status tab lists system devices in
alphabetical order, along with their lock/unlock status. The Hardware Status lists the
connection status of control panels associated with the account. The Schedule Status tab
lists schedules that are configured as group activated. For Administrators configured to use
it, the Device Status and Schedule Status lists also provides corresponding command button
mechanisms to control the output behaviors of specific devices or schedules.
On the Edit Device page, system devices must be configured for an output behavior of
Pulse, Latch or Unlatch and have the Control from browser option checked to be controllable
from the Device Status list on the Dashboard page. System devices configured for an output
behavior of Follow are not controllable from the Dashboard page.
There is a Status feature on the Dashboard that allows the user to see the physical position
of the door as open or closed, live video (if cameras and DVRs are configured), as well as
customized, color-coded messages for programmable devices. Programmable devices are
described in the section on Live Status in the chapter on Devices .
There is a Change Threat Level icon that enables certain Administrators to change the
current threat level. For more information, see the chapter on Threat Levels .
Users can control which device status is displayed on the Device Status section of the
Dashboard by creating Display Filters. For more information, see the section on Using
Activity Filters.
