Configure your control room and cockpits
VCOM allows you to customize the view of your portfolios and systems with the information that is most relevant to you. VCOM is pre-configured with portlets and tabs, which you can modify to suit your needs.
Portlets are small, re-sizable windows that give you a quick overview of the status of specific data, such as alarms, tickets, analysis graphics, battery charge, webcam, and upcoming events. You can add portlets at both the portfolio and system level. See also Portlets.
Dynamic portlets such as Webcam are updated when you select a different system.
Static portlets such as Tickets display the same information or graphics regardless of the system
Tabs allow you to group portlets into separate folders at the portfolio level. For example, you might want to group all of the portlets relating to monitoring, alarms, or power control.
