Properties Dialog
The Properties dialog (accessible from ) contains configuration options for database‑level behaviour. The fields in the dialog are described below.
On this tab, you can set up various properties related to your database, such as client name, client logo, paths for videos or risk models.
Field/Checkbox Name |
Description |
|---|---|
Name |
Stores a client name, but the value is not used elsewhere in the application. |
Details |
Optional notes or comments. The value is stored but not used elsewhere in the application. |
User Upgraded |
Displays the username that performed the most recent database schema upgrade. |
Date Upgrade |
Shows the date of the most recent schema upgrade. |
Retention (Jobs) |
Sets the job-history retention period (in days). Records older than the defined period are purged automatically. |
Global Video Path |
The root folder or UNC path for all inspection video linked to events under INSPECTION. This can also be an Azure SAS URL, which allows linking to cloud-based storage. For details on SAS URLs, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-dotnet-shared-access-signature-part-1. See Managing Videos for more information. |
Temporary Inspection Video Path |
Used during offline video review, typically in offshore campaigns, to specify a local, temporary storage location for inspection video on this NEXUS IC instance. See Managing Videos for more information. |
Filename Format |
Defines the file naming format to be used with IC-Recorder/DVR. |
Survey Threshold |
Defines how many seconds of timing difference are permitted when matching survey data to events. |
Anomaly Number (Auto Increment) |
Enables or disables automatic incrementing of the Anomaly Number field when creating new anomalies. You must restart the application for the change to take effect. |
Finding Number (Auto Increment) |
Enables or disables automatic incrementing of the Finding Number field when creating new findings. |
Anomaly Risk Chart |
Allows you to select the anomaly risk chart that you want to be displayed on the ANOMALIES screen. To ensure that you can select the anomaly risk chart in this dialog, you must have configured the anomaly risk chart as described in Configure Risk Charts. You must also set up the System - Anomaly - Risk Score function that calculates the Risk Score for each anomaly. For more information, see Set Up Anomaly Risk Matrix. |
Logo |
You can upload logos (primary and secondary) to be used in the headings of report templates. The logo is included in the Dashboards Page report and the Asset Dashboards report by default. |
On this tab, you make settings specific to drawings, such as a variety of default colours associated with drawings and settings associated with 3D or SVG drawings.
Field/Checkbox Name |
Description |
|---|---|
Default Traffic Light Colour |
If the currently selected traffic lighting (see Traffic Light) does not specify a colour for the asset’s actual value, the drawing region or button on the relevant layer is shown in the colour set here. This layer is visible when you select on the Drawings tab of the ASSETS or INSPECTION screens. |
Known Asset Colour |
On the Drawings tab of the ASSETS or INSPECTION screens (see Drawings), when you select , this colour is shown for drawing regions and buttons if the relevant layer is linked to an asset and the linked asset exists in the database. |
Unknown Asset Colour |
On the Drawings tab of the ASSETS or INSPECTION screens (see Drawings), when you select , this colour is shown for drawing regions and buttons if the relevant layer is linked to an asset but the linked asset cannot be found in the database. |
Missing Asset Colour |
On the Drawings tab of the ASSETS or INSPECTION screens (see Drawings), when you select , this colour is shown for drawing regions and buttons if the relevant layer is not linked to any asset. |
Attribute (3D) |
In 3D DWGs, you can use a tag in the DWG to specify what asset the element refers to. NEXUS IC will then match that tag to the field you specify under (see Configure Features). In this field, you are specifying the DWG tag that NEXUS IC will attempt to match on. See 3D Drawing Setup Example for more information on how to configure 3D drawings. |
Attribute (SVG) |
In SVG drawings, you can use an attribute to specify what asset the element refers to. NEXUS IC will then match that attribute to the field you specify under (see Configure Features). In this field, you are specifying the attribute that NEXUS IC will attempt to match on. |
Missing Attribute Colour |
If NEXUS IC finds an attribute in the 3D/SVG drawing but is unable to find an asset with a matching 3D/SVG attribute in the database (as specified above), it will highlight the asset in the colour you select here. |
Grid Size |
Specifies the size of a grid cell at scale 1 for the 3D drawings. |
Grid Colour |
Determines the colour of the grid for 3D drawings. |
North Layer Name |
Name of the ‘True North’ layer for 3D drawings. |
Configure the email host that allows NEXUS IC to send emails (for example, to email a generated report or the contents of any of the grids). For more information, see Set Up Email.
Shows all default settings stored in the database, grouped by category and subcategory. You can modify grouping as required (see Grouping).
Use Copy to User to apply these defaults to selected users. Revert restores selected settings to their original values.
Displays licence key details and allows you to manage software‑based licensing. See Software Based Licensing.
