The Task Bar

The Task Bar, located at the bottom of the Primary Window, contains several buttons that give you access to critical information about your current site environment and the Synergy environment.

The Alarm button displays the number of alarm events currently active in the system.

If you want to see a detailed list of the current alarms, click this button. The Events tab appears on the right panel of the Primary Window.

To see details about the alarm, click its icon on the Events tab. The alarm dialog appears.

The Due Tasks button displays the number of tasks currently assigned to you (or your user group).

If you click the Due Tasks button, the Diary Tasks tab opens on the right panel of the screen, listing the pending tasks.

If you click an item in the list, the View Diary Task dialog appears.

The Views button is another way to open the Views menu, giving you access to the default workspace views.

The State button indicates the current system state or status level at your site. Configurable, color-coded system states are established at system setup. The color and color value of the current state is displayed in the Status Bar background at the top of both the Primary Window and the Secondary Window.

If you click the State button, the Select New System State dialog appears.

If you click the Toggle Full Display button in the dialog, the System State Indicator colored bar appears on the right side of the Primary Window, with the current system state code displayed. To remove the bar from the window, click the Toggle Full Display button again.

The Touch Screen button allows you to switch to the touch screen GUI with larger buttons and controls.

Note: You can still use the keyboard and mouse in touch screen mode.

The Camera button indicates the number and name of the currently selected camera (the video from this camera is now playing in the Video Window).

If you click this button, the Cameras tab opens. For more information about the Cameras tab, see The Cameras Tab on page 1.

The Monitor button indicates the number and name of the currently selected monitor.

If you click this button, the Monitors tab opens. For more information about the Monitors tab, see The Monitors Tab on page 1.

You can choose to record video footage to new incidents in one of two ways;

Clip Mode - When started, this allows any viewed footage to be automatically added to the clip basket. These clips can then be edited or deleted as appropriate. If retained, they can be exported or added to an incident.

Incident Mode - When started, this allows the user to manually select footage to add directly to a new incident.

Depending on which option of incident recording you have chosen, either the Start Incident or Start Clip Mode button displays.

The Start Clip Mode button can also be displayed directly on the Clip Basket tab to make it more apparent that you are currently using this mode. To activate the button on this tab, use the client configuration setting: <liveIncidentToClipBasket>true</liveIncidentToClipBasket>

The Exit Synergy button allows you to exit the system.
