Freescan View functions

Welcome to the view pulldown article. The system view is defined as the area on the left of the screen with a white background. It shows the current systems, sites and groups in a tree structure.

Highlight

• View highlight trunksites.JPG

  hilite sites

• View highlight talkgrps.JPG

  hilite talkgroups

Click to expand images

This function changes the color for displaying sites and groups with talkgroups. This makes it a bit easier to spot the difference between the two, particularly if you have a large number of sites and systems defined.

Autoexpand

if you have a large amount of systems, by default when FreeScan draws them in the system view it will expand to show the groups. However, this can take a lot of time to draw with a huge number of system, so with Autoexpand on, it only displays the system and doesnt automatically expand them to show the groups and sites. On Auto mode it just chooses for you.

View System Types

• View systemtypes.JPG

  show system types

This function shows all the system types for those in the system view.

View Quick Keys

• View quickkeys.JPG

  show QK

This function shows all the quick keys (group, site and system) in the system view.

Sort System List

• View b4 systemsort.JPG

  Before sort

• View systemsort.JPG

  After sort

The sort function is context sensitive. If the system view shows only site names (as in the example), then the sort will alphabetize the list of names. The same occurs with quick keys.
