Procedures

Procedure List​

Screen Overview​

The Procedure List screen lets administrators search and review controller procedures configured in BluSKY (e.g., Mercury procedures/macros). Use filters to narrow by System and Controller, search by procedure name, and control which records are returned (active/inactive). This screen is used primarily during system setup and troubleshooting.

Field Definitions​

Field LabelDefinitionNotes
SystemDrop-down to select the access control system to query.Limits available Controllers and results to the chosen system. Default is “--” (no selection).
ControllerDrop-down to select a specific controller whose procedures you want to view.The list is constrained by the selected System. If System is “--”, the list may be empty or show only controllers you’re permitted to view.
Search TextFree-text search for procedure names.Placeholder suggests “Mercury Procedure name.” Partial, case-insensitive matches are supported. Leave blank to return all procedures within the other filter criteria.
ViewFilter to include Active, Inactive, or all procedures.Default shown is “All Active.” Available options may include Active, Inactive, and All.
SubmitExecutes the search with the current filters.Runs the query and refreshes the results and Procedure Count.
ResetClears all filters back to defaults.Resets System/Controller to “--”, clears Search Text, and sets View to the default (All Active).
Procedure CountDisplays the number of procedures returned by the current query.Read-only. Updates after Submit. Shows a spinner and “Stand by…” while results load.

Screen Actions and Functions​

  • Submit – Run the search based on System, Controller, Search Text, and View.
  • Reset – Clear all filters and restore defaults.
  • Change System – Limit controllers and returned procedures to a specific system.
  • Change Controller – Narrow results to a single controller within the selected system.
  • Adjust View – Toggle between Active, Inactive, or all procedures to be returned.

Usage Instructions & Examples​

  1. Find all active procedures on a controller

    1. Choose the appropriate System.
    2. Select the Controller.
    3. Ensure View = All Active.
    4. Click Submit. Review the Procedure Count and results.

  2. Search by procedure name across a system

    1. Choose the System.
    2. Leave Controller as “--” (to search all controllers you can access).
    3. Enter a keyword in Search Text (e.g., “Door Held”).
    4. Set View to All (optional) if you want both active and inactive.
    5. Click Submit.

  3. Reset filters to start over

    1. Click Reset.
    2. Confirm fields return to defaults (System/Controller “--”, empty Search Text, View = All Active).
    3. Run a new query with Submit.

System Behaviors and Edge Cases​

  • Controller list is context-sensitive and is filtered after a System is selected.
  • If no criteria are entered and you click Submit, the system returns procedures according to the default View (typically All Active) and your permissions.
  • Search Text is typically case-insensitive and performs partial matches on procedure names.
  • While the query runs, a spinner and “Stand by…” message display. Large systems may take longer to return results.
  • If no procedures match, Procedure Count shows 0 and the list area remains empty.
  • Users only see Systems, Controllers, and Procedures for which they have view permission; unavailable items are hidden.

Permissions​

  • Requires access to the Setup module and permission to view Systems, Controllers, and Procedures.
  • Visibility of Systems/Controllers is scoped by the user’s site/tenant permissions.
  • Edit or creation of procedures (if available elsewhere) requires elevated roles; this screen is typically read-only.

Linked Workflows​

  • From a returned procedure (when results are displayed), navigate to the Controller detail to review related inputs/outputs and hardware configuration.
  • Use the Controller configuration screens to modify or upload procedures, then return to Procedure List to verify changes.
  • Audit or troubleshooting workflows: filter by Controller, locate the procedure, then pivot to logs/monitoring under Control or Intelligence (if enabled).
  • None.
