Displaying Components Links

The View links function allows you to view all instances of an item within other menus. Therefore, it is possible to see all links an item has with other items.

NOTE: You can use the View links  button before you delete a component from the database in order to see which menus will be affected by the deletion. You can also print the links of a selected component.

1 - From any menu window, select a component and click the Link  button. All the components that are associated with the selected component are displayed.

2 - The buttons that are located on the left side of the components indicate the component type. For example, if you select the Always valid schedule (in the Schedule definition menu) and click the Link  button, the system will display a list of all the menus in which this schedule is used.

NOTE: In the highlighted example, the Always valid  schedule is used as the REX (Request to EXit) schedule in the Door definition menu. You can right-click an item to select a category. For example, if you right-click and select Access levels, only the access levels in which this schedule is defined are displayed.

3 - To view the links of the selected door with other components of the system, select the door, then click the Link button again:

4 - All system components that are associated with the selected door appear. In this example, the “door” is used in the Administrator access level; users granted this access level are allowed access to the selected door.

5 - Click the Print button to print the information displayed on the screen.
