Stations List

This lower area of the Niagara Network Job Builder lists all the stations to be processed by the job—note this means each station processes all steps in the (middle pane) Steps for each station List. Only stations in the Supervisor’s NiagaraNetwork can be added. For any job, you add one or more stations, and you can also remove and reorder stations (stations are processed in a top-to-bottom order).

Adding Stations

Add a station to a job in the Niagara Network Job Builder by doing any of the following:

  • Click the “+” (add) button below the list, and choose the station(s) in the Add Device popup dialog (see Figure 4 and Figure 5). A Check All button allows you to choose all stations.

  • Right-click in the Stations List, select Add, and choose the station(s) in the same popup dialog.

  • From the Nav tree, simply drag a station from under the NiagaraNetwork into the Stations List.

Note the dialog for adding stations also reflects any station folders ( NiagaraStationFolder) in an expandable tree structure. Also, stations are listed using any assigned “display names” (Figure 5).

This station tree structure using station display names (if assigned) can be useful on Supervisors that have very large numbers of subordinate JACE stations. Click on controls to expand and collapse station folders, as needed. A selected folder will select all nodes under it (stations and any subfolders).

Removing Stations

Remove a station from a job in the Niagara Network Job Builder using either of these two methods:

  • Click to select the station, then click the “X” (remove) button below the list.

  • Right-click the station, then select Remove from the popup menu.

Reorder Stations

Reorder a selected station in the Niagara Network Job Builder by clicking the (up) or (down) arrow button at the bottom of the list. Or, right-click a station and select Move Up or Move Down, as needed.

NoteStations are processed in the same top-to-bottom order as defined in the Stations List.
