Once the proper users and user groups have been
defined using integrated Windows security, InfoCenter
Suite Administrator supports effective assignment of
rights to electronic records using the tree-view
profiler.
Figure 5. Data Security and "Tree-View”.
InfoCenter Administrator's advanced data
modification and annotation features ensure that a
detailed and secure audit trail is provided for all
changes. All previous modifications are stored in
the system so that auditors or end users can review
a specific point's data modification/annotation
history. Comments or approvals for a record can be
entered as an annotation or comment without
requiring the data value to be changed. Each entry
or modification includes the administrative user's
Windows account name, date/time and reason for
change.

InfoCenter Administrator allows Summary points to
be created at regular intervals based on the values
of other InfoCenter points. Summary point types
supported by InfoCenter Suite include Average,
Minimum, Maximum, Sampling, Sum, Mean Kinetic
Temperature and Delta.
Figure 7. Mean Kinetic Temperature Summary Point.
Summary points can also be created based on
formula calculations. The formulas support: +, -, *, /,
ABS (Absolute Value), COS (Cosine), COT
(Cotangent), EXP (Exponential value), LOG (natural
log), LOG10 (log base 10), PI, POWER, ROUND,
SIN, SQRT, and TAN (Tangent). Using formula
points is extremely effective in moving complex
calculations from the system control hardware to
the InfoCenter Suite software.
Figure 8. Formula Summary Point Setup.
The field panel name for each point is displayed
while adding the points in the APOGEE Insight Data
Server. This feature helps you to add points from
specific field panels. You can filter the points based
on filed panel name while Adding, Selecting or
Viewing the imported points.
The InfoCenter Server software now provides you
an option to enable/disable collection and storage of
BACnet Trend Log Status Values by point and
system in the InfoCenter Administrator application.
