A label is text that your system administrator places on a map. 

Figure 26.  Viewing a Label

A label can have a script associated with it, so when you click the label, the script runs. In this case, the label provides a quick means of auto-
matically executing a common action or sequence of actions. 

It is also possible for the system administrator to define a label that does not run a script. In this case, the label is for information only. For 
example, a label might be used to identify an item on a map. 

You can tell whether a label runs a script by positioning the pointer over the label. If the pointer changes to a hand with the index finger extended, 
the label runs a script. 

NOTE:  The system administrator defines how many times you have to click a particular label to run its script. Your system administrator should 
instruct you in which labels run a script and how many clicks each label requires. 

Your system administrator can customize maps by placing icons on them that represent alarms, events, and devices installed at your site. 

Device icons: Device icons provide tools that allow you to perform the following functions: 

Switch devices 

Access device controls

View device gadgets 

Run scripts 

Stop scripts 

For instructions on using device icons 
to perform these operations, refer to Devices.

Indicate when an alarm has been triggered 

Indicate when an alarm has been handled by an operator 

Indicate whether the condition that triggers the alarm is true or false 

Allow an operator to acknowledge an alarm 

For more information on alarms and alarm icons, refer to Alarms and Events.
