The following sections describe the main pages that are available for your CygNet Web application. They also describe how to set up the various pages.

Summary Page (SUM)

The Summary Page is typically used at the top level(s) of a hierarchy. For each parent node, the Summary Page shows information that gets calculated from the child facility nodes below it. The types of calculations that are available for summarizing data are: totalizing, averaging, and rolling up of alarm status.

To Set up a Summary Page

  1. Create the PageID. Use the CygNet Web Console to verify or add the PageID for the summary page. The default PageID is SUM.
  2. Add the PageID and UDCs to the hierarchy. Use the Group Manager Utility to add the PageID and UDCs to the hierarchy. See Group Manager Utility for more information.
  3. Create the summary points. See Group Rollups for more information.

Studio or Vision Page (CSF)

CygNet Studio or CygNet Vision screens can be displayed on the Web page.

Follow the steps outlined below to set up a Web page which points to a single CygNet Studio screen. We suggest that if you want to access several Studio screens that you set up a small number of screens as starting points and add navigation buttons or grids to link to the additional Studio screens.

To Set up a Studio or Vision Page

  1. Create the PageID. If a PageID for the Studio page (default CSF) does not already exists, add a row to the PageIDs section of the CygNet Web Console. Remember to add or edit the Start Screen attribute.
  2. Add the PageID to the hierarchy. Use the Group Manager Utility to add the PageID to the hierarchy. See Group Manager Utility for more information.
  3. Make sure you have the current CxWeb.rsp loaded into your Application BLOB service.
  4. On the CygNet Web Console\Site Settings section, verify or specify the Application BLOB service (from step 1 above).

Overview Page (OVW)

The Overview Page displays an overview set of UDCs for every facility that falls under the currently selected parent node of the hierarchy. The organization of the facilities is based on the hierarchy and grouped by facility type. Follow the steps below to set up an Overview page.

To Set up an Overview Page

  1. Create the PageID. Use the CygNet Web Console to verify or add the PageID for the summary page. The default PageID is OVW.
  2. Add the PageID and UDCs to the hierarchy. Use the Group Manager Utility to add the PageID and UDCs to the hierarchy. See Group Manager Utility for more information.

Report Page (RPT)

The Report Page is organized just like the Overview, but it shows a snapshot of the data from the moment in time that you display or refresh the page. You can also click on column headings to sort the data in various ways.

To Set up a Report Page

  1. Create the PageID. Use the CygNet Web Console to verify or add the PageID for the summary page. The default PageID is RPT.
  2. Add the PageID and UDCs to the hierarchy. Use the Group Manager Utility to add the PageID and UDCs to the hierarchy. See Group Manager Utility for more information.

Note: If the UDCs have already been set up in the Facility Type List for use on the Overview page you do not need to do it again.

History Report Page (RPTH)

The History Report Page is organized just like the Report page, but you can also specify a date range in history from which to display the data.

To Set up a History Report Page

  1. Create the PageID. Use the CygNet Web Console to verify or add the PageID for the summary page. The default PageID is RPTH.
  2. Add the PageID to the hierarchy. Use the Group Manager Utility to add the PageID to the hierarchy. See Group Manager Utility for more information.
  3. Add the UDCs to the hierarchy. Use the CygNet Web Console to specify the UDCs and their rollup information to the hierarchy.

Trend Page (TRD)

The Trend Page does not require any special setup, but there are a couple of color options that users can save.
