Functionality
1. Web page initialization.
When a guard opens this page it retrieves guard preferences to display the preferred number of the information blocks and populates security barrier selection controls. Also it subscribes for SignalR Events for credential presentation. In the beginning each block contains a placeholder for the picture and no personal data.
2. Workflow.
· The card was swiped at a certain credential barrier.
· The BluSky makes a lookup of the person.
· BluSKY sends a SignalR message that includes person information and a picture URL.Here we need to use a thumbnail image of a person and not a full-scale image
· The page determines if the credential was presented at the monitored security barrier.
· If the information is for one of the monitored security barriers, the populates the information block with the events data and retrieves person's picture from the BluSky storage. This information should stay on screen for a certain amount of seconds (the value should be configurable on a system level)
