Tip: For information about adding content (cameras, etc.) to views, see How to Add
Content to Views on page 27.
Tip: A group can contain an unlimited number of views. You may also create any
number of subgroups if required.
Creating Shared 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 and in order to be able to create shared views. When creating a
shared view, bear in mind that depending on their user rights not all users may have access to all
cameras on the surveillance system.
Note: Due to the large amount of new features in recent Smart Client versions, views created in
Smart Client version 3.0 or later will not work in previous versions of the Smart Client. If creating
shared views, it is thus important that the users with whom you wish to share the views also use
Smart Client version 3.0 or later.
To create your first shared view, you first create a group under the required shared top-level
folder, then create the required view within the group. If you have created shared views before,
you may create the new view in an existing group, or you may create a new group for the view.
Creating a Group
To create a group under a shared top-level folder, do the following on the Setup tab:
1. In the Setup tab’s Views section, select the Shared top-level folder (in this example, the
required folder is simply called Shared).
