You can edit a hotlist or permit list using the Hotlist and permit editor task.

Before you begin

The hotlist or permit list must be created in Config Tool, the Enable editor support option in the entity’s Properties tab must be selected, and the user or user groups editing the lists must be granted the required privileges. The changes you can make to a hotlist or permit list might be limited, depending on which privileges you have.

What you should know

Using the Hotlist and permit editor, you can add, edit, or delete items from existing lists that were created in Config Tool. When you edit a hotlist or permit list, the text file is updated and your patrol vehicles, or Sharp cameras receive the new information.
  • When you edit a hotlist in Config Tool, the linked source .txt file or .csv file is automatically updated. Likewise, if you edit the source file, the Config Tool hotlist is automatically updated.
  • To edit a hotlist, you must have the Add entries, Delete entries, and Modify entries privileges for hotlists and permit lists.
  • If a hotlist has more than 100000 records, an error message is displayed to inform that the hotlist is only partially loaded.
    An error message is displayed when the hotlist has more than 100000 rows.

Results

The source file of the hotlist or permit list is updated with the changes.

Example

A hotlist of stolen vehicles is downloaded from the ministry of justice each night at midnight. Every morning, when the officers begin their shift, they load the latest hotlist into a Genetec Patrollerâ„¢. During the day, some vehicles on the list are found, and new vehicles are stolen. You can remove the vehicles that were found from the list, and add the newly stolen vehicles, so that all the patrol vehicles have the updated hotlist.
