
object proportion and/or size and/or to make fine size adjustments.
Visibility: The zoom range in which the object is visible on the map. Default is

Min 0 / Max 0 which means that the object is always visible.
Note: If an object is either a camera or is configured as a graphic command, you
can specify the layer(s) on which the object is visible. Default is All layers. For
details on graphic commands, see Changing an object to a graphic command [➙

Visualization: This tab is where you define the textual content that describes

an object, and the way it appears during runtime.
Text options to choose from to display with an object on a map and/or tooltip
when a mouse hovers the object. The selection lists include:
– Text: Customer text, Technical text, both (choice of display order), or
None.
– Tooltip: Customer text, Technical text, Location, or some combinations or
the above (choice of display order).
You can also select text Font properties such as Type, Style, Size, Position and
Color.
Additionally, you can customize the icon settings. You change these by clicking
the Icon Settings button to display the Icon Settings window.
The Display type setting you choose will affect what the operator sees during
runtime.
– Whole: It means that when an event occurs, the operator will see the data
point icon as well as the condition icon (the field surrounding the data point
icon).
– Partial: It means that only the condition icon will flash to indicate event
location and type (type indicated by color).
Also, you can adjust the size of the condition icon if you select Partial. Resizing
when you select the Whole option will result in the size of both icons being
proportionate.
Cameras only
Note: . The default setting for Enable Coverage Area is un-checked.
This means that during runtime, the user will not be able to see the coverage area
for that camera. Note that if you select a camera and then set the coverage area
(see Graphical navigation and page links [➙ 19]), this option will be checked.
