NightWatchman Enterprise

Keep their computer active by opting out of passive or active NightWatchman power-offs for a period of time.

Initiate a local power-off.

View the list of files backed-up during the last log-off process.

Select either the Location Groups or Organization Groups tab.

Select an existing node in the Groups tree for the new group to be under.

Right-click the node and from the context menu, choose Add Group...

Enter the name for the new group in the Add Group dialog and click OK. The new group appears under the previously selected group node.

Select the group node to rename.

Right-click the group node and select the Rename Group option from the context menu.

The group name will turn into an edit field, type in the new name.

Click Enter to accept the change or ESC to cancel.

Select the group node to delete.

Right-click the group node and on the context menu, choose Delete.

You are prompted to confirm your actions. Click Yes to confirm or No to cancel. If you previously ticked the Don't ask me again checkbox, you will not be prompted and the group is removed from the NightWatchman Console immediately.

Computers cannot be moved between the Location and Organization group hierarchies. Select which hierarchy you want to modify by clicking either the Location Groups or Organization Groups tab.

In the Groups tree, navigate to the current location of the computers you want to assign. Unassigned computers reside in the UNASSIGNED BUILDING node for Location groups and UNASSIGNED DEPARTMENT for Organization groups.

Select the computers to move to a particular department or building.

Scroll the Groups tree view and expand nodes until the department or building node is visible.

Drag your selection into the new department or building node. You can only drag computers to a building or department group, i.e. one that is at the fifth tier of the organization or location hierarchies.

In the Groups tree view, navigate to the building or department you want to remove computers from.

Select the computers to remove.

Right-click and from the context menu, choose Remove from Group.

The selected computers are disassociated from their current node and reassigned the UNASSIGNED BUILDING group or the UNASSIGNED DEPARTMENT group.

Define an SQL data source in the DataSources.xml file located in the Enterprise View\Dashboard.Web\Source folder.

<DataSource Name="ACME">
   <ConnectionProperties DataProvider="SQL">
      <Value>
         <![CDATA[Server=(local);
            Database=ACME;
            Trusted_Connection=True;
            pooling=false]]>
      </Value>
   </ConnectionProperties>
</DataSource>

Create a tile definition XML file in the EnterpriseView\Dashboard.Web\Source\Tiles directory and add a DashboardTile element with command and presentation sections, the namespace used for the components and other attributes for the tile. For example, we create the following XML tile definition to display:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="unicode" ?>
<DashboardTile xmlns="http://www.1e.com/2009/DashboardTile.xsd" 
               xmlns:chart=http://www.1e.com/2009/StandardChart.xsd
   Type="Standard"
   Title="ACME Happy Tile" 
   ThumbnailSource="columnchart.png"
   Description=" The ACME employees, customers and investors happiness index" 
   RefreshFrequencyMins="60"
   Activator="StandardChartActivator">

where:

Create the query to retrieve data for the chart. In our example, (ACME datasource, defined in step 1) the ACMESAT identifier is used in the presentation section.

<CommandCollection>
   <Command DataSource="ACME" Identifier="ACMESAT">
      <Text><![CDATA[SELECT Happiness, Employees, Customers, Investors FROM dbo.Happy]]></Text>
   </Command>
</CommandCollection>

You can have one or more commands each defined in the <Command></Command>.

We are going to chart the number of people and their ratings for ACME Corporation using a series for each of the Employees, Customers and Investors data:

<Presentation>
   <chart:StandardChart LegendEnabled="true"
          AxisYTitle="Number of People"
          AxisXTitle="ACME Rating">
      <chart:SeriesCollection>
         <chart:Series Type="Column"
                LabelEnabled="true"
                LegendText="ACME Employee Happiness">
            <chart:DataPoint CommandIdentifier="ACMESAT"
                   YValueBinding="Employees"
                   AxisXLabelBinding="Happiness"/>
         </chart:Series>
         <chart:Series Type="Column"
                LabelEnabled="true"
                LegendText="ACME Customer Happiness">
            <chart:DataPoint CommandIdentifier="ACMESAT"
                   YValueBinding="Customers"
                   AxisXLabelBinding="Happiness"/>
         </chart:Series>
         <chart:Series Type="Column"
                LabelEnabled="true"
                LegendText="ACME Investor Happiness">
            <chart:DataPoint CommandIdentifier="ACMESAT"
                   YValueBinding="Investors"
                    AxisXLabelBinding="Happiness"/>
         </chart:Series>
      </chart:SeriesCollection>
   </chart:StandardChart>
</Presentation>

We are going to use the data source you prepiously created for the chart.

Create the table definition XML file in the EnterpriseView\Dashboard.Web\Source\Tiles directory and add a DashboardTile element with command and presentation sections, the namespace used for the components and other attributes for the tile.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="unicode" ?>
<DashboardTile xmlns="http://www.1e.com/2009/DashboardTile.xsd" 
               xmlns:res="http://www.1e.com/2009/DashboardResources.xsd" 
               xmlns:para="http://www.1e.com/2009/StandardParagraph.xsd"
               xmlns:table="http://www.1e.com/2009/StandardTable.xsd"
   Type="Standard"
   Title="ACME Happy Table" 
   ThumbnailSource="table.png"
   Description="This table lets you know the ACME approval rating!" 
   RefreshFrequencyMins="60"
   Activator="StandardListViewActivator">

where:

Create the query to retrieve data from the table. We are going to use the query already created for the chart.

We are going to display the data for the number of people and their ratings for ACME Corporation using a columns and rows:
