Topology

The topology is the central overview of the Detail View. Alarm groups are displayed in a spatial or logical hierarchy. For each group you see the current status and can access further actions with a single click.

Prerequisites​

  • License: KentixONE Plan M or higher is required for the graphical view (optional). The topology itself does not require a special license.
  • Permissions: Read permissions for the affected groups; write/admin permissions are required for actions such as acknowledge, configuration or structural changes.

Features & layout​

  • Spatial or logical grouping of the KentixONE system into alarm groups and subgroups.
  • Status bar per group with icons for: arm/disarm, alarms, warnings, deactivated devices, open doors.
  • Clicking a status chip opens a list of all affected devices within the group:
  • Alarms: shows all devices with pending alarms.
  • Warnings: shows all devices with pending warnings.
  • Deactivated: shows all deactivated devices.
  • Open doors: shows all open doors/passages.
  • Clicking the group name opens the tile view of the group with all devices.
  • Table profiles: direct jump into the table view with the selected profile.
  • Switch to the graphical view via the map icon (if license is active).
info

In the topology, SuperSearch only searches groups, not single devices. Use tile or table view for device search.

Controls​

Global controls above the list​

  • Expand all: expands all groups and subgroups.
  • Collapse all: collapses all groups and subgroups.

Group header​

  • Map icon: switch to the graphical view (Plan M or higher).
  • List icon: open table profiles and jump to the table view.
  • Magnifier: show group details (key figures, contents).
  • Cog: open group configuration.
  • Context menu (⋮): edit structure.
  • Add subgroup: create a new subgroup within the current group.
  • Arrange subgroups: adjust order/hierarchy.
  • Delete: remove the group (if allowed).

Status icons inside a group​

  • Lock icon (arm/disarm): shows arming status. Tooltip explains whether arm‑active alarms will trigger.
  • Alarm counter (red): number of pending alarms. Click shows all devices with alarm in this group.
  • Warning counter (yellow): number of pending warnings. Click shows all devices with warning.
  • Deactivated counter (grey): number of deactivated devices. Click shows the list of deactivated devices.
  • Open‑doors counter (red): number of open doors. Click shows affected doors/passages.

Additional actions​

  • Acknowledge button at group or system level: acknowledges pending alarms in the respective scope (requires rights).
  • Device type filter: filters the presentation by selected device types.
warning

Deleting or restructuring groups affects all subordinate elements. Check permissions and the impact on signaling and automations beforehand.

Extras / Links​

  • Tile view: reachable via the group name, shows all devices of the group as tiles.
  • Table view: selectable via table profiles; offers filter, sorting and export functions depending on the profile.
  • Graphical view: visual representation of the group on a map/drawing; requires KentixONE Plan M or higher.
note

The graphical view is only available with an active KentixONE Plan (M) or higher.

Tips & tricks​

  • Use “Expand all” for a quick overview of deep hierarchies, then collapse selectively.
  • With SuperSearch in topology you can filter by group name or parent groups.
  • Use table profiles to open frequently needed lists with one click.
