How to

Create Aggregates

Training documentation ‘06 | 17

Notes

17

How to create Aggregates

• 2 types of Aggregates Map Aggregates :

One object is an aggregate of all the object of a map

ProTraq Aggregates : One object is an aggregate of several cells of a ProTraq Configuration

Map Aggregate

ProTraq Aggregate

Training documentation ‘06 | 18

Notes

• Function of an aggregate object When an alarm occurs on an object which is in an aggregate object, the aggregate object take the color of the severity of the alarm.

When several object are in alarm the related aggregate object take the color of the highest severity of the included object

18

How to create a Map Aggregate

• Add a map aggregate on a map Copy and Paste a map object on another map

Automatically this map is added in the Aggregates folder

Training documentation ‘06 | 19

Notes

19

How to create a ProTraq Aggregate

• Add a new aggregate in the folder Aggregates of the Object Browser Right-click on the folder Aggregates and use the Add function

A new aggregate with a generic name is created

Training documentation ‘06 | 20

Notes

20

How to create a ProTraq Aggregate

• In the Object Browser choose a ProTraq configuration In this configuration choose the cells you want to aggregate with the CTRL key Right-click and choose the function copy

Training documentation ‘06 | 21

Notes

21

How to create a ProTraq Aggregate

• Go back to the new aggregate you have previously created Right-click and choose the function Paste

Right-click on the new aggregate and choose copy then right-click and paste the aggregate object on a map

Training documentation ‘06 | 22

Notes

• Paste the copied cells in the new aggregate The new aggregate will contain all the cells selected and copied from the ProTraq configuration. By this way all the alarms can occur in one of those cells are supervised and centralized in this new aggregate object. The last thing to do is to move this new aggregate object on a map.

• Put this new aggregate object on a map The new aggregate object has to be copy and paste on a map.

In the Objects Browser the Maps folder contain all the maps can be used in the Map Area. Each map contain a subfolder Aggregates contain all the aggregate objects exist on this map. So in our example automatically the new aggregate is displayed in this subfolder Aggregates of this map.

In each Map folder another subfolder is present and called Managed Objects. This subfolders contains all the objects exist on this map.
