Channels > View Channels
This page lists all channels that currently exist within the A.I.M. system. A channel is
automatically created for every transmitter when it is added and configured within the
A.I.M. network. The new default channel for each added transmitter will inherit the name
of the transmitter. Such default names can be altered at any time and additionally, you can
also create new channels manually, if necessary.
Within the list of channels, the Allowed Connections column indicates how each channel
may be accessed by users. By default, these settings are inherited from the global setting
(configurable within the
Dashboard > Settings
page), however, each channel can be
altered as required. The icons denote the following connection rules:
Connection details inherited from the global setting
Shared access
Exclusive access
View only
The Channel Groups column shows to how many channel groups each channel belongs.
The Users column indicates how many users have permission to view each channel.

The Channels tab provides access to all settings and options related directly to the video,
audio and USB streams, collectively known as channels, emanating from any number of
transmitters.
Click the CHANNELS tab to view the initial View Channels page.
The various other Channels pages (e.g. Add Channel, View Channel Groups, etc.) are
selectable within the blue section located just below the tabs.
Search filters
The key fields (Name, Description and Location) all provide a
search filter to locate particular items within long lists. Enter a full
or partial search string into the appropriate filter box and then
click to start the search. Optionally use the
buttons to
invert the order of the listing.
The page will reload with the same pagination/sort order, but with the added search
filter. It’s possible to filter by several columns at once (e.g. search for all entries with
“mac” in the name, and “mixed” in the description). Search terms are case-insensitive. You
can re-sort and paginate on filtered results without losing the filters.
To remove a filter, click the red cross next to the relevant filter, (you can also empty the
search box and click again).
