Explorer App
Introduction
The Explorer app is the integrated management app for alarming, scheduling, trending, metering, and reporting.
It provides import and export functions as well as working with templates.
Click the Explorer icon on the dashboard of the Web Manager to open the Explorer app.
Web Manager apps and objects
Each web manager app works with a set of objects.
For example the Alarms app is working with the objects folder, action, condition, and alarm - but not with e.g. trending.
The following table shows the relation between apps and their accessible objects:
Web Manager objects | Web Manager apps | |||||||

= access / visible = no access / hidden |
The Explorer app is the only app having access to all objects.
If a folder in the project tree contains different objects, only objects accessible by the current app, are visible. Non accessible objects are hidden.
If a folder contains an object which is not accessible by the current app, the folder can not be deleted. Use the Explorer app to delete folders containing different objects.
When copying a folder only the accessible objects will appear in the new folder! Use the Explorer app to copy folders including all objects.
