ICMLive Operator Client Toolbars

The toolbars are usually found anchored at the top of the window. However, they are a simple form of Dockable Window and so you can anchor them on another edge of the window, or leave them floating to give a larger working area. They cannot be resized. See Using Dockable Windows.

The toolbars can be shown or hidden, or the buttons on the toolbars re-organised. See Customising the Toolbars.

Manifest toolbar

Manifest toolbar

Manifest mode

Manifest mode of operation:

Normal - Manifest schedule to run as specified.

Manual runs only - Runs can only be generated manually by the user.

Ignore alert triggers - Alert triggers will be ignored. Users may wish to select this option if there is a spurious alert that keeps triggering full model runs unnecessarily.

Edit the mode of operation as required.

Tip: Changing the mode of operation can be permissioned in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager and therefore may not be available to ICMLive Operator Client users who have not been granted rights to perform this action.

Set alert trigger

Only enabled when the Innovyze Live Server is connected.

Modify alert trigger toggle.

The current alert trigger state for each manifest deployment is displayed in the Server Simulation Schedule Window dialog.

ClickSet alert trigger to change the alert trigger state. An Alert Trigger State message is displayed:

Choices are:

  • Off - the alert trigger is not set. Baseline simulations will be scheduled at the Full run frequency specified in the Manifest in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager.
  • Baseline runs only - the alert trigger is set. Baseline simulations will be scheduled at the Triggered full run frequency specified in the Manifest in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager.
  • Baseline and variant runs - the alert trigger is set. Baseline and variant simulations will be scheduled at the Triggered full run frequency specified in the Manifest in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager. (It is not possible to set this alert trigger state if the run variants property in the manifest run schedule is set to Never.)

Select an alert trigger state and click Ok.

Tip: Edits to the alert trigger state can be permissioned in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager and therefore may not be available to ICMLive Operator Client users who have not been granted rights to perform this operation.
