Operating levels

In VCOM, there are two main operating levels:

PORTFOLIO LEVEL: This operating level gives you an overview of all your systems in VCOM.

Adjust administrative settings that affect your entire portfolio, such as user management, at this level under Portfolio administration.
When accessing VCOM, you usually access at portfolio level. When you later want to return from system to portfolio level, select Control room. Alternatively, you could also directly navigate to special portfolio level actions, such as Analysis, Calendar or Reports.

SYSTEM LEVEL: This operating level is the individual view of each system (= plant).

Adjust settings that affect an individual system, alarms, term-definition, and feed-in revenue at this level under System configuration.

To access a system level, hover over a system name in the systems list and select Go to cockpit. Alternatively, you could also directly navigate to the Evaluation tab by selecting Go to evaluation.

Note

Both operating levels display information with the help of portlets that are organized in tabs, see Portlets and tabs.
