Configuring Polygon Regions

To create and configure an item in the database, you need to be logged on via a User Account that:

• Has the Configure Database feature enabled. This is enabled via the User Form (see User Accounts).
• Is allocated the relevant permissions, such as the Configure permission for the Group to which you want to add a database item, or the item that you want to configure. Permissions are allocated via the Security window (see Allocating Security Permissions).

To configure a new or existing polygon region:

1. Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar).
2. Double-click on the Region entry in the Database Bar (if you are logged on via a User Account that has the Double Click Edits Documents feature enabled).
   The associated Form is displayed.

   

3. By default the Region combo box displays the Circle type of region. Use the combo box to select the Polygon type of option.
   The Polygon Region window is displayed.

   

   Use the Polygon Region window to define a polygon region or you can paste a definition in directly.

   

   All numeric location / region coordinates in location strings use the English decimal point (a dot).

   Include Region in Alarm Redirection when Matching User Location against Alarm Region

   Select this check box if you want to include this region in alarm redirection. Clear this check box if you do not want to include this region in alarm redirection. By default, the check box is selected. This setting only affects alarm redirection that uses the By Matching User Location against Alarm Region scheme; the other alarm redirection schemes are unaffected (see Specify Whether to Redirect Alarms to Users According to Geographical Criteria).
