Security system and method with help and login for customization

摘要

A user-centric management application system and method for a security system that conceptualizes the security devices and the tasks to perform on the security devices as separate objects with common properties and behavior. Operators of the system create abstract containers, called dockviews, which the operator adds objects to in order to perform specific tasks. Because the operator assigns user access to dockviews and objects, the system tailors system access for both application users and tenants of the security system based on policy objectives. Dockviews have the ability to open in separate application windows to support priority display and isolation of critical management tasks. The system provides integrated user administration, event management and reports capability, a consistent “look and feel,” and system-wide automated event notification via a watchlist window.

1. A method for defining dockviews for users and presenting object information for objects in a security system, comprising:
on a configuration screen, displaying icons representing object types of the objects; enabling an operator to define object information that is displayed in the dockviews by manipulating the icons in the configuration screen; and displaying the dockviews based on the manipulation of the icons; and wherein the object information that is displayed in the dockviews includes object icons for the objects of the security system, and wherein the object icons display configuration data of the object information for the objects.
