Configuration - Traffic Lights Dialog¶

From this dialog, you can add or edit traffic lighting rules (top part of the dialog) or add or edit overlay values for a selected traffic lighting rule (bottom part of the dialog).

You can use the standard grid functions (see Using the Grid) in the Configuration - Traffic Lights dialog to edit, delete, import, export traffic lights or check their connections.

Add/Edit Traffic Light Dialog¶

See below for the description of fields in the Add Traffic Light/Edit Traffic Light dialogs:

Traffic Light tab:

Field Name

Description

Name

Enter a name that uniquely identifies the traffic light.

Description

Describe the main purpose of the traffic light.

Value Field

Specify the field from which the system retrieves the value to determine the traffic light colour.

Colour Field

Specify the field in the asset’s asset information group (AIG) that calculates the traffic light colour. If you select a colour field from the AIG, the calculated value of this field is directly taken to determine the traffic light colour and you don’t need to set up overlay values. If you leave this field empty, you must define the rules for determining the traffic light colours using overlay values as described below.
