Add Objects to the User-Defined View

The configuration of this view determines which objects are uploaded to Building X. Objects in Building X are one of two types: devices, or points within a device.

First-level objects in the view are uploaded as Building X devices. If the first-level objects are defined with a function, then function DL2 (Display Level 2) properties are uploaded as points within that device. If the first-level objects do not have a function, then only the default property for the object is uploaded.

For other objects in the view, only the properties, either from the function (if defined) or the default property are uploaded as a point within the first-level device.
