   Incident monitoring

   The following options apply to incident monitoring.

   Minimum priority in notification tray

   Select the minimum priority required for a newly received incident to be displayed in the notification tray when no Incident monitoring task is open (Default = Low).

   Notification tray alert

   Select this option if you want the a pop-up window showing the active incident list to appear automatically every time a new incident is received, and no Incident monitoring task is open. By default, you must click on the incident icon () in the notification tray to display the pop-up window.

   Synchronize incident monitoring tasks

   Select this option to synchronize all Incident monitoring tasks on the selected incident and monitoring filter (Default = On). This feature is useful on multi-screen setups where one monitor only displays the incident list and another only displays the map.

   Show all incidents on default map

   Select this option to display all incidents on the default map (Default = On). For this option to work, your default map must be georeferenced and your incidents must be associated to a georeferenced map. If this option is turned off, incidents are displayed on the map that is attached to their location (area).

   Initial map zoom level for selected incidents

   Specify a zoom level between 0 (no zoom) and 100 (full zoom) that is applied to the map when selecting an incident in Incident monitoring (Default = 100) .

   Dashboard font size

   Specify a font size between 10 and 18 points for the incident dashboard (Default = 12). This setting affects the dashboard in the Incident monitoring and Incident report tasks.

   NOTE: After changing this setting, you must restart Security Desk before the change will take effect.
