Traffic Lighting

The Traffic Lighting functionality displays pre-defined coloured dots for each asset in case traffic lighting is configured. The legend is shown at the bottom of the asset hierarchy and displays the name of the traffic lighting rule and what each of the colours signify. Hovering over the traffic lighting with the mouse displays a pop-up hint of the value of the traffic light. See below for an example:

Note that because the Traffic Light field must be calculated for every asset, NEXUS IC may be slower with a traffic light turned on than it is with no traffic light turned on. However, since NEXUS IC caches results, you should only experience this slowness the first time you view a given group of assets.

Traffic lighting can also be displayed on Drawings Links. For example, if an asset has a region defined on a drawing, and there is a traffic light colour assigned to that asset, then the region will be displayed in that colour. The display of traffic lighting on drawings is switched on and off from the Drawing Toolbar.

For information about setting up the traffic lighting rules, see Configure Traffic Lights.

The Traffic Lighting toolbar button shows the list of configured traffic lighting rules. By default, the following traffic lighting rules are available:

  • Traffic Lighting ‣ None

    Clears all existing traffic lighting rules from the asset hierarchy.

  • Traffic Lighting ‣ Anomalies

    Shows traffic lights based on the Anomalies traffic lighting rules.

  • Traffic Lighting ‣ Risk

    Shows traffic lights based on the Risk traffic lighting rules.

  • Traffic Lighting ‣ Active Workpack

    Opens the Select Workpack selection dialog from which you can choose a workpack.
