Common configuration tabs
Standard information
All entity types share the following standard attributes:
• Type. Entity type.
• Name. Entity’s given name. The entity name is editable, except in the following cases:
• Server entities. The entity name corresponds to the machine name and cannot be
changed.
• Federated entities. The entity name belongs to the original system and cannot be
changed on the federation.
• Description. Optional descriptive text.
• Logical ID. Logical IDs are unique numbers assigned to entities for ease of reference in
the system (mainly for CCTV keyboard operations).
NOTE A logical ID must be unique across all entities of the same group. Entity types that
are likely to be referenced within the same context are put in the same group. For
example, cameras and public tasks belong to the same functional group, therefore, a
camera and a public task may not have the same logical ID, but a camera and a camera
sequence may.
TIP You can view and edit the logical IDs of all entities in the system from a single place.
For more information, see System – “Logical ID” in the Security Center Administrator
Guide.
• Relationships. List of relationships between this entity and other entities on the system.
You can use the command buttons found at the bottom of the relationship list to manage
the relationships of this entity with other entities in the system.
• Select a relationship group, and click to add a new relationship.
• Select a related entity, and click to remove the relationship.
• Select a related entity, and click to jump to its configuration page.
Specific information
Certain entity types may show additional information in this tab. For an example, see Video
unit – “Identity” in the Security Center Administrator Guide.
