7.3 Object Tree
The object tree displays an alphabetical list of all object types of the current Apollo Project.
The Explorer’s object tree depicts object types from the following sources:
Object Type
Source
SourceSource
Source
Device File devices.ini, generated by the Control Room Configurator when exporting the Visio
file of the Apollo Project
Display source File ServerData\viewersources.ini, entries have to be edited manually,
cf. The ServerData\viewersources.ini File
Web source
File ServerData\viewersources.ini, entries have to be edited manually,
cf. The ServerData\viewersources.ini File
TV source File ServerData\viewersources.ini, entries have to be edited manually,
cf. The ServerData\viewersources.ini File
Desktop Server File DesktopServer.ini, generated by the Control Room Configurator when exporting
the Visio file of the Apollo Project
Viewer Configured and launched viewers
This information is written to the file ApolloExplorer.ini, by the Control Room Configurator when exporting a
valid Apollo Project. This file is located in the subfolder ServerData of the Apollo Project and is automatically
distributed to all Apollo network servers.
The different sources have to be defined in the ServerData\viewersources.ini file before
they can be displayed in the object tree!
Object tree entries are updated immediately as soon as the ServerData\viewersources.ini
file has been saved.
The ServerData\viewersources.ini file has to be customized in the subfolder ServerData of
the Apollo Project. Changes in files with the same names located in other directories are
always overwritten by the file located in the ServerData subdirectory.
Starting with Apollo Release 1.6, it is possible to exclude an object type from being listed in the object tree. If the
object type listed in the ApolloExplorer.ini file starts with a dash, it is not added to the list:
