Dragging and Dropping Cameras

Dragging a Camera Item

A camera drag may be initiated from the following places (remember that you make a copy if you drag the content, but you move if you drag the viewer header):

• A camera item in the Camera List.
• A viewer showing a camera — start the drag from the body of the viewer and not from the header.
• A viewer playing a Tour.
• The camera name of a camera listed in the "Cameras Viewed by User" list on a User Detail Card (in a User List).
• A camera in a Site detail card's list of viewed cameras (in a Site List).
• A camera in a Tour detail card's camera list — start the drag on the camera name of a camera entry.
• A Task with a camera attached (Task detail card or task item in the Task List).
• An alarm with a camera attached (Alarm Detail Card or alarm item in the Alarm List)

Dropping a Camera Item

A Camera item may be dropped onto:

• An empty viewer to show the live camera feed.
• A viewer already containing a camera to replace it with the dropped camera.
• A Map to highlight the position of the camera on the map. If the map does not contain the camera, the relevant map will be loaded and the camera selected. The map will automatically pan to centre the highlighted camera. If the current map does not contain the camera, the correct map will be loaded.
• A Camera List to select the camera and show its detail (if the list contains the camera, i.e. it was not filtered to exclude the camera), otherwise "All Cameras" will be selected.
• A Tour Card which is in edit mode to add the camera to the Tour.
• The Tasks Tab to switch to the Task List, creating a new task and linking it to the camera.
• A new Task Card in the Task List to link the camera to the task.

In the case of a list, if the list contains the dropped camera (i.e. the list was not filtered to exclude the camera) the camera will be selected and the card expanded to show the camera’s detail. Otherwise the List will automatically switch to the "All" tab and the selected camera.
