System Configuration

System List

Screen Overview

The System List screen provides a centralized directory of all BluSKY systems. It allows users to search, filter, and review high‑level attributes for each system (e.g., Customer, Integrator, PIN policy, base building designation). From this list you can create new systems, open an existing system for editing, or initiate a sync status check for selected systems.

System Behaviors and Edge Cases

  • Filters update the grid and System Count; no data is changed by filtering.
  • Edit is disabled unless exactly one system is selected.
  • Sync Status is disabled when no rows are selected; it supports multiple selections.
  • The Deleted column and deletion audit fields are only visible/returned when the current View includes deleted records.
  • Required Pin Length displays 0 when no explicit length is enforced.
  • The base building designation is an indicator used for policy/reporting; it does not by itself change list behavior.
  • Partial text search is supported in Search Text; results are case-insensitive in most deployments.

Permissions

  • View access requires Systems-Read.
  • Create requires Systems-Create.
  • Edit requires Systems-Edit.
  • Initiating Sync Status requires Systems-Sync or equivalent operational permission.
  • Visibility of deleted records in the View selector may require Systems-Admin or Audit-View permissions.
