Module Groups dialog

This dialog appears if you do one of the following:

• Select the main menu command File > System Properties, then set the focus onto the Module groups setting and click the browse button.

Use the Module Groups dialog to view and edit module groups.

To define a module group, you select specific modules from all modules currently added to the system.

Tip - If you add new modules to the system later, they are by default members of the All group. For all other groups, make sure to add new modules to the matching group(s).

Many Trimble products allow one to make use of module groups, when setting up alarm jobs. For all alarm jobs, the same module groups are available. When defining an alarm job, you define for each module group the specific action settings.

One does not necessarily have to configure module groups. The default All group contains all modules added to the system.

Note - The default group All cannot be deleted.

However, for using extended user right assignment it might be a good idea to configure further groups, which contain selected instances of modules only. Additionally, many Trimble products allow one to make use of module groups, when setting up alarm jobs.

List field

The dialog displays a list of all currently added groups. Groups are defined by an arbitrary name and a selection of modules, for which the group settings apply. If you add a new group, it appears under the default name New Group as long as you have not edited the Group name setting.

You also may remove a group from here, if you do not need it anymore.

Add

Adds a new group to the list. To define its properties use the settings on the right side of the dialog.

Remove

Deletes the currently selected group from the list.

Groups category

Contains all settings for the currently selected group. Each group is defined by a group name and by a list of modules (= group members) belonging to this group.

Group name: The group name must be unique in the system.

Modules: Lets you view and select the instances of modules that are group members. To select from all modules currently running in the system, click the browse button in the main value field. The Select Modules for Group "<group name>" dialog appears.

Primary operator team: Specifies the primary operator team which will be controlling the modules of this group. When several operators are logged on the system, only members of the primary team will be allowed to control modules which belong to this group. For selecting the primary operator team, set the focus into the value field and click the browse button. The Select Operator Team dialog appears.

Secondary operator team: Specifies the secondary operator team. Members of the secondary operator team will be granted the right to control the modules of this group only, if no member of the primary operator team is logged on. For selecting the secondary operator team, set the focus into the value field and click the browse button. The Select Operator Team dialog appears.
