Accounts and Account Folders
An account represents a site, or collection of
sites that will share a common set of users,
authorities, schedules, etc. In general, this will
typically be a single company or customer.
Account folders, on the other hand, provide a
method for organizing accounts.
Your desired account must be 'opened' in the
tree (double-click) to provide access to
account-specific tasks.
Tip:
Account folders are referenced by "operator
permissions" to determine which accounts will be
available to each operator. Be sure to set up your
folders with this in mind.
Single Account Systems/Licensing: With single-
account licensing, the account/folders 'tree' will NOT
appear.
For systems that support multiple accounts that
presently have only one defined, the "Edit Accounts /
Account Folders" authority determines whether or not
[Account Folders]
will appear in the tree. For details,
refer to "Operator Permissions".
Panels per Account: Each account can include a total
of up to 60 system panels.
Setting Accounts to Appear in the Tree
Account folders appear in the 'tree' (left side of
your screen), while accounts are listed in the
centre portion of the screen, and can optionally
be set to appear in the tree as well.
To set accounts to appear in the 'tree', click
[Account Folders]
in the 'tree'. Then, right-
click within the 'Account Folder' portion of
the tree, and ensure that
Show Accounts in
Tree
is selected.
Tip:
This selection is also available in the
View
menu when you are 'in' the Account Folders portion
of the tree.
Opening an Account, or Switching to a
Different Account
(for Monitoring, Status
& Control, User Admin., etc.)
Click
[Account Folders]
in the 'tree'. Then,
browse through any account folders, and
double-click the desired account (either in the
tree, or the centre portion of the screen).
Your selected account will remain 'open' (e.g., for the
event monitoring window) until you select
[Account
Folders]
or
[Management]
in the 'tree'.
Single-account license: In this case, account folders
are not shown in the 'tree'. (To access your account,
simply click on your site/account button in the tree.)

to set up a new system. For more information, refer to "New Installation? Try the Wizard!".
