Accounts and Account Folders
An account represents a site, or collection of
sites that will share a common set of users,
authorities, schedules, etc. In general, this will
typically be a single company or customer.
Account folders, on the other hand, provide
a method for organizing accounts.
Multi-Server Login: To allow working with (or in)
account folders, ensure the desired server is selected
under [Server] in the 'tree'. (Double-click a server to
access its account folders.)
Your desired account must be 'opened' in
the tree (double-click) to provide access to
account-specific tasks.
Tip: Account folders are referenced by "operator
permissions"--allowing different types of permissions
to be assigned to groups of accounts. Be sure keep
this in mind when deciding where to put each
account.
Single Account Systems/Licensing: With single-
account licensing, the account/folders 'tree' will NOT
appear.
For systems that support multiple accounts that
presently have only one defined, the "Edit Accounts /
Account Folders" authority determines whether or not
[Account Folders] will appear in the tree. For details,
refer to "Operator Permissions".
Panels per Account: Each account can include a total
of up to 60 system panels.
Setting Accounts to Appear in the Tree
Under [Account Folders] , account folders
appear in the 'tree' (left side of your screen),
while accounts are listed in the centre portion
of the screen, and can optionally be set to
appear in the tree as well.
Multi-Server Alternative: For a multi-server login,
servers and accounts will (also) appear under [server]
in the 'tree'.
To set accounts to appear in the 'tree', click
[Account Folders] in the 'tree'. Then, right-
click within the 'Account Folder' portion of
the tree, and ensure that
Show Accounts in
Tree is selected.
Tip: This selection is also available in the View
Working with Accounts and Folders (Multi-Account Systems)
Account Folders, and account-selection issues pertain only for systems with multi-account licensing (or operators with
the authority to edit account folders). Beginning with V4.0 VEREX Director, you can use the Configuration Wizard to
set up a new system. For more information, refer to "New Installation? Try the Wizard!".
