Can't assign monitors to groups.

I am trying to create a couple groups of Monitors. However, there seems to be no way for me to be able to assign any monitors to these groups.

If I click the radio button next to the group and click edit, I get a new screen which says Name and Monitor IDs, but the ids window has nothing selectable.

Any ideas? I know I've done this before on a different installation, but this one doesn't seem to have that functionality.

Sorry we are not here every day.
Are you asking about the groups in the montage or the groups for the users.

Setting groups in the montage is the link top left in the console, set a new name and save to to assign.

For users under the user tab just add the monitor numbers.

both are comma delimited.

I'm asking the groups from the standard console, where it says "X Monitors".

You can click on there and make groups. But how do you assign cameras to those created groups?

It looks like there should be a way to select the cameras, but in no way can I choose any. They are all listed there, but nothing is clickable. See attached screenshot.

Where you typed the monitor names, is where you should have put the monitor ID numbers.

Ok, I will try once again to explain:

THE "Monitor Ids" FIELD IS NOT EDITABLE.

You cannot edit it. It's text. No blanks. Not even when you "CREATE" a new group.

Are you using the latest SVN?

There appears to be a small type in web/skins/classic/views/group.php

Code: Select all

              <th scope="row">Monitor&nbsp;Ids</th>
              <td
                <select name="newGroup[MonitorIds][]" size="4" multiple="multiple">

The '<td' should obviously be a '<td>'. Firefox doesn't seem to care but maybe your browser is more picky. I have fixed in the trunk and it will up on SVN shortly.

Awesome! Thank you VERY much Phil! Been struggling with this for quite some time now.

I am currently using the latest IE8 from Microsoft... yeah, would expect it was picky.
