Vunetrix Manual: Maps Settings

Map Name

Enter a meaningful name for the map.

Security Context

Define the user account that will be used for access to monitoring data. The map will only contain objects which the selected user is allowed to view. Please choose a user from the list. The available users depend on your configuration. By default, this is the user that created the map. Vunetrix Administrator users can change this setting.

Timezone

Define the time zone that will be used for all date-specific options in this map. Select a time zone from the list.

Tag Filter

This setting affects table maps objects. Enter one or more tags separated by space or comma to include sensors in tables. Only sensors with one of the tags entered here will appear in this map's data tables—including sensors which inherit tags from parent objects. Please enter a string or leave the field empty. Note: Use with care! This setting will affect all tables of the current map!

Map Width

Define the width of the map in pixels. Please enter an integer value.

Map Height

Define the height of the map in pixels. Please enter an integer value.

Background Picture

Define if you want to use a background picture for the map. Choose between:

• On: Use a background image (define below).
• Off: Do not use a background image.

Background Image

This option is only visible if a background picture is enabled above. Click on the Choose File button and select an image from your computer or network. Note: Only images in the format JPG, PNG, and GIF are supported. The file size must be smaller than 2 MB. If you try to upload other images, you will get an error message. In a cluster, background images are not automatically deployed to the other nodes! In order to view maps on other nodes, please copy the background pictures manually to \webroot\mapbackground of the program directory on every node. For detailed information on how to find this path, please see Data Storage section.

Background Color

Select a background color for this Map. Either enter a hex color code or choose a color from the color selector. The hex color code field will always display the currently defined color.

Public Access

Define if others can see the map. Choose between:

• No Public Access: Do not allow public access to the map. Only users with both a login to the Vunetrix web interface and sufficient access rights can see the map.
• Allow Public Access: Allow access to the map using a unique address. The URL contains a key that you can change below.

Secret Key

This field is only visible if public access is enabled above. The key is automatically generated. It is part of the public URL for the map. You can also enter a customized string. We recommend using the default value. For more information on public access, please see the Get HTML section. Note: The characters comma "," and colon ":" are not allowed in the secret key field!

Access Rights

User Group Access

Define which user group(s) will have access to the object you're editing. A table with user groups and right is shown; it contains all user groups from your setup. For each user group you can choose from the following access rights:

• Inherited: Use the settings of the parent object.
• None: Users in this group cannot see or edit the object. The object does not show up in lists.
• Read: Users in this group can see the object and review its settings.
• Write: Users in this group can see the object, as well as review and edit its settings. However, they cannot edit access rights settings.
• Full: Users in this group can see the object, as well as review and edit its settings and edit access rights settings.

You can create new user groups in the System Administration—User Groups settings.
