User Management Improvements

User Management Improvements

The user delete/deactivate options now automatically apply the same action to the user’s system codes.  Previously a second confirmation was required for the user to apply the action to the system codes, in practice this step was occasionally misunderstood.  Now the initial delete or deactivate confirmation informs the user of how the operation will also apply to system codes without requiring any additional action by the user.  If the user wishes to retain the codes for some reason they can first un-assign the codes from the current user and then perform the deactivation or ...

Customer Option -> Code Duplication Feature

Customer Option -> Code Duplication Feature

A new customer level option may be enabled by the dealer which allows the customer-wide code duplication check to be overridden by the customer on a user-by-user basis. If enabled, while the customer is adding/editing the code, if a duplicate exists in some other system, they will see the duplication error yet will be provided with a prompt to override this security restriction by confirming they understand the risks yet want to continue with the duplicate entry anyway. By making this a customer option you enable on the dealer site, all of your other customers will still operate ...

Interaction -> Time Rule Zone Status Exception Improved

Interaction -> Time Rule Zone Status Exception Improved

The Time Rule for checking Zone Exception Status has been improved.  Now the exception check happens once per minute which allows for greater control of timing to produce Time Violation events for notification if a zone stays in exception status (Alarm, Trouble, etc.) for longer than the desired duration set in the Time Rule. This is a great option for door prop events and environmental sensors, such as temperature probes.  In the case of temperature probes, a Time Rule may be created to check if the probe stays in alarm status for longer than X minutes.  ...
