User Manual
Creating facilities
The Picture Perfect system allows you to group your system database records according to facilities.
A facility can be records associated with a group of buildings in a city, a building, a floor in a building,
a tenant, or a room on a particular floor in a building.
Facility records are text descriptions of these places. Database records can be grouped together by
assigning them to a common facility. All Picture Perfect forms support facilities. A facility field is
displayed on each form with the following exceptions:
• Although the Monitor forms do not have a Facility field, incoming messages are filtered by
facility.
• Although the following forms do not have a Facility field, access to them is governed by
system permissions profiles: Backup, Custom, Edit SQL Statements, Force Logoff, Form
Preferences, Log Monitor, Monitor Preferences, Performance Monitor, Purge All Alarms,
Send Message, Status Monitor, Tour Functions, User Monitor, Access Secure, Alarm Colors,
Control Outputs, Data Generator, Emergency DI, Facilities, LDAP DN, LDAP Server, and
Parameters.
At installation, a facility, Global, is created and, by default, all database records are assigned to it. If
an existing Picture Perfect system is being upgraded, all existing database records are assigned to
this facility, unless they are already associated with a facility.
Use the Facilities form to create and delete facility records. These records, combined with Facility
Profiles and Permissions, allow you to restrict operator access to records assigned to those facilities.
