2.3.5 Symbol Key
The Symbol Key provides a directory of devices and information labels found on the floor plan display. The
symbol key also allows the operator to change the description of any of the device icons. The top tabs allow you to
select viewing devices (such as, NIONs, Fire Panels, etc.) or information labels (such as hazardous material,
radioactivity, etc.). The symbol key is found at View, Symbol Key on the main pulldown menu.

2.3.6 Linked Information and Guidance Text
Linked Information
Any addressable device or information label on the floor plan can have linked information. Linked information can
be text, video, bitmaps, and sound. To access the linked information on a device (either addressable or an infor-
mation label), right click on the icon to bring up the pop-up menu and then make the appropriate selection.
Linked text usually provides information about area restrictions, special cautions, etc. Linked bitmaps are often
pictures of the device or the specific device location. Linked video can be demonstrational in nature, such as how
to reset or disable a device. Linked sound is often instructional, but could be used to give example audio alarms.
All of these are only examples and represent some of the more common uses of linked information.
Guidance Text
Guidance text is linked text associated with a specific screen. Usually, as with linked device text, this relates to
special procedures or precautions. Guidance text is different for every screen. The content of the guidance text
window can be anything that needs to be imparted to operators for a specific floorplan. For example: emergency
contact numbers and instructions for building approach and access.
To open the guidance text display for the current screen, select the View, Guidance Text menu option.
