Data point types and data points

The Panel topology/Group alert facility uses the following internal data point types (DPT) and data points (DP):

.parentNumber dyn_uint Reference to "panelNumber" for the tree view.
.sumAlertNumber dyn_uint Group alert number
.nodeName dyn_langString Node name (multilingual text) in the tree view, also used as the panel title when opened.
.fileName dyn_string File name of the panel including the relative path (from ./panels/).
.panelType dyn_uint 0==Root or 1==Child
.moduleName dyn_string Empty if in the same module
.iconName dyn_string Icons used
.menuBar dyn_uint Settings for modules with shown/hidden menu bar
.iconBar dyn_uint Settings for modules with shown/hidden toolbar
.modal dyn_bool TRUE==modal child panel, FALSE==not modal
.centered dyn_bool TRUE==centered child panel, FALSE==not centered
.parameter dyn_string $parameter
.permissionBit dyn_uint User with this bit is allowed to open the panel.
.backwardPanel dyn_uint Panel number for standard-symbol buttons, used for opening the previous/next/upper/lower panels in the hierarchy (depends on the user authorization)
.forwardPanel dyn_uint
.upwardPanel dyn_uint
.downwardPanel dyn_uint
.template.xResolution uint Configured x-resolution (when selecting panel template)
.template.yResolution uint Configured y-resolution (when selecting panel template)
.template.panelWidth uint Width of the main panel
.template.panelHeight uint Height of the main panel
.template.templateNumber uint Number of the selected template

_SumAlertGeneral

Contains the parameter settings for the priority ranges and the fixed parameters for the future group alerts.

DPE Type Description
.prioRange.name dyn_string Range name
.prioRange.min dyn_uint Minimum priority number
.prioRange.max dyn_uint maximum priority number
.prioRange.textOn dyn_langString Range text for ON
.prioRange.textOff dyn_langString Range text for OFF
.ack_has_prio uint Applies to all ranges; default=1 - unacknowledged has priority
.order uint Applies to all ranges; default=2 - status before priority

_SumAlertPanel

contains the parameter settings for the priority ranges and the fixed parameters for the future group alerts. For each panel in the topology a data point is created containing all priority ranges. The DP is given the following name: "Panelname" + "_1".

DPE Type Description
.Warning string Group alert for the first priority range
.Alert string Group alert for the second priority range
.Danger string Group alert for the third priority range
additional range string Group alert for the additional priority range

_Ui_config

Contains the configuration of the user interface. There is one datapoint per user.

Data point element Type Description
.ConfigNames dyn_string Contains the names of the configurations which are available for the user.
.UsedMonitors dyn_string Contains information about the monitors that are used.
.TemplatesToLoad dyn_string Contains information about which templates are loaded for the configuration of the user.
.ScreenResolutions dyn_string Contains information about screen resolutions of each monitor.
.PanelsToLoad dyn_string Contains information about which panels are loaded for the configuration of the user.
.NumberOfDisplays dyn_int Contains information about the number of monitors that are used in the configuration.
.Characters dyn_string
.CharactersLeft dyn_string
.CharactersRight dyn_string
.Default.DefaultTemplate dyn_string Contains information about the default templates.
.Default.DefaultResolution dyn_string Contains information for the resolution of the default template.
.UseLastScreenView bool Contains information if the last screen view shall be used.
.usedKonfig string Contains the last used configuration

You should only change the data point elements and their settings from within the supplied configuration panel, not in the PARA Module itself nor by means of scripts.
