Organizing Locations into Zones
viewLinc 4.1 Administrator Guide 35
Note: When a location is deactivated, it still remains
part of the zone, but is not active. If you wish to
remove it from the zone entirely, the channel
must be unlinked using the Unlink channel
command. The ‘permanently delete location’
option in the right click menu then becomes
available.
To delete a zone:
1
From the Locations tree in Locations Manager, select the
zone you want to delete.
Note: You cannot delete the System zone.
2 Right click and select Permanently Delete Zone.
3 The zone will remain in the list until the locations tree is
saved. Click the left
Options dropdown and select
Save.
Editing Location Properties
To edit location properties:
1
From the Locations tree in Locations Manager, select the
location you’d like to edit.
2 Right-click and select Edit.
3 The edit location screen appears. Enter the name,
description, units and decimal places as you’d like them
to appear in viewLinc.
Note: The name, description, units and decimal places
control the way your location appears throughout
viewLinc. If you enter a smaller number of deci-
mal places than your device reads, viewLinc will
automatically round the data it receives from the
device to the nearest decimal point.
