Milestone XProtect Smart Client 3.6; User’s Manual
Setup of Views
You create and manage views on the Smart Client’s Setup tab. Depending on your user rights, you
may be able to create and edit the following types of views:
• Private and shared
• Private, but not shared
• Shared, but not private
• Neither private, nor shared (in which case you simply rely on shared views created by
others)
Typically only a few people in an organization are able to create and edit shared views.
For example, the surveillance system administrator may create and maintain a number of shared
views: When relevant Smart Client users log in, the shared views will automatically be available to
them, and they will basically not need to create further views unless they want their own private
views.
Checking which Views You Are Able to Create and
Edit
To quickly determine which types of views your user rights permit you to create and edit, do the
following:
1. Select any of the Smart Client’s tabs.
2. Look at the Views section: You are able to create and edit views under the top-level folders
(Shared and Private) if the top-level folders are not marked by a padlock icon.
If a top-level folder is marked by a padlock icon, it is protected: You can still use any views
under the top-level folder, but you cannot create new views or edit existing views under it.
Example only; folders may have different names in
your version.
Consult your surveillance system administrator if in doubt about your user rights.
Creating Private Views
Note: Views are created on the Smart Client’s Setup tab. Particular user rights may be required in
order to access the Setup tab.
To create your first private view, you first create a group under the Setup tab’s Private top-level
folder, then create the required view within the group.
