The Areas of Interest Bar is an Explorer Bar (see Explorer Bars). The Bar is typically used by higher-level users when restricting alarm and event access to specific areas of a Geo SCADA Expert system.
Areas of Interest are used to limit the alarms and events that are displayed on a node (workstation).
Typically, the Areas of Interest you can view are configured to represent geographical or logical areas. When Areas of Interest are configured, you can only view alarms and events for items in your designated Areas of Interest. You will not be presented with events or alarms for items that are not included in your Areas of Interest.
The Areas of Interest command is only enabled on the View tab if the Areas of Interest feature is enabled for your user profile.
If the feature is not enabled on the Geo SCADA Expert server, a message explaining this will display under the system node in the Areas of Interest Bar.
