In the Management Client's Site Navigation pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36), you are able to configure
various parameters for client use.
Manage View Groups
The way in which video from one or more cameras is presented in a client is called a view. A view group is basically a
container for one or more logical groups of such views.
In the clients a view group is presented as an expandable folder from which users can select the group, and

More about View Groups
By default, each role you define in the Management Client is also created as a view group: when you add a role in
RC-E Manager, the role will by default appear as a view group for use in Ocularis Client Limited Mode.
A view group based on a role will by default only be available to users/groups who have been assigned to the role
in question. You are able to change this; see
View Group Rights

A view group based on a role will by default carry the role's name.
Example:
If you create a role with the name

see the following for more information.
