Configuring General Properties

Use the General page to define general grid settings. Some of the fields configured on this page match fields on the Settings page of the GCM device editor. See Configuring GCM Settings for more information.

General page
Sample General Page

General Properties

The following table lists and describes the fields found under the General page.

Parameter Description

Group Service

Specifies the Site.Service of the Group service containing the group hierarchy. Be sure to select the Group service from the correct site. This is the same as that entered on the Settings page of the GCM device editor.

Group Hierarchy

Specifies the name of the group hierarchy you want to use and see displayed. The available options correspond to group hierarchies already set up in your Group Service for a given site. Only the names of possible root nodes appear. This is the same as that entered on the Settings page of the GCM device editor.

Group View

Specifies the parent-child relationships between the components associated with the same component hierarchy root node. Multiple views may be created to provide different methods of filtering and displaying data, such as State, Route, and Operator, or Operator and State. This is the same as that entered on the Settings page of the GCM device editor.

Description

Specifies the column description to display. Options are Group Record Description, Facility Description, Facility Id, Fac Id (Fac Desc), or Fac Desc (Fac Id).

Sorting

Specifies the facility attribute that determines how to sort nodes in the same level of the hierarchy. The attribute should hold a numeric value and nodes will be sorted with the lowest value at the top and facilities without values will be at the bottom.

Subtractor

Enable a facility yes/no attribute from this drop-down menu if you want certain values in your GCM calculations table to invert.

Note: The Apply Subtractor check box on the Columns page must also be selected in order for this attribute to affect a specified value.

Hourly Column Labels

Determines if the 24 hourly columns are labeled with the Leading or Trailing time.

Forecast Accum UDC

Specifies the UDC of the forecasted accumulated daily volume.

Contract Hour

Specifies the contract hour in the time zone of a client computer. Determines the hour at which the contract day begins. This property cannot be changed while the control is running.

Locked Columns

Specifies the number of leftmost columns to lock when scrolling horizontally.

Locked Row

Specifies the number of topmost rows to lock when scrolling vertically.

Level Indent Length

Specifies the number of spaces to use when indenting.

Commodity Type

Select the substance in the pipeline, Natural Gas or Petroleum Liquids product.

Depending on the selection made here, the GCM editor displays different configuration fields for each commodity type on the Calculations page of the GCM device editor and the GCM Nomination Grid displays different output columns for each commodity type on the Columns page of the GCM Nomination Grid.

Note: It's a good idea to create a separate device instance for each type of calculation, if both are required.
