The Operator allocation interface makes it easy to to add for example valves to a valve group. First, find the allocation screen you want to update. Allocation screens are always listed as the last item in a list of settings pages. Then click edit on the group where you want to add or remove objects.
The allocation screen will show a list or grid of all items that can be allocated. Reading it is straightforward:
- Any item that is linked to the selected group is shown in a dark blue color.
- Items that are not linked to anything are shown in white.
- Items that are linked to a different group are shown in a light blue.
To allocate or de-allocate an item, simply click on it. The change will be implemented right away. Be aware that items linked to different groups will automatically be removed from their old group.
For objects that can be linked to multiple groups, it is even easier:
- Any object that is linked to the selected group is shown in a dark blue color.
- All other objects are shown in white.
Locks
It can happen that a group or item is locked because part of the system is active. A lock will be shown for items which cannot be added or removed. Valves will show a water droplet to signal that a valve is currently active.
Allocating from a dashboard
You can add any allocation table in Operator to a custom dashboard. To do this, click 'Add to dashboard' in the top right of the page that the table is on. Pick the dashboard that you want the allocation table to appear on and you're done! You can now quickly access your most frequently used allocation tables without the need to navigate to the page that it's on.
