The fields in the View Properties dialog box are as follows:
View Name The current view name is displayed here.
Auto populate view Check to add the devices currently in the EPICenter inventory database to the new
View. Submaps and hyper nodes are created as needed.
In addition, as new devices are added to EPICenter, they are also added to the
view. If you do a Discovery after you have created a view with the auto populate
option enabled, all new discovered devices will be added to the view automatically.
See “Node Placement Criteria in an Auto Populate View” on page 293 for detailed
information.
View Alarm Status Threshold The lowest alarm severity level for which an alarm icon should be displayed. If the
level is set to one of the higher levels, then lower-severity alarms will not cause an
icon to appear. Changing this affects status for alarms that occur after this setting
is changed.
