Status visualization is a feature that graphically displays the status of elements added to a map. When a map is fully operational and in the normal state, no visual status indication is presented. The Status Visualization window lets you define the visual appearance of maps' status indication.

	Attention needed—when an element requires attention, but is still working; for instance when a server is running out of disk space. Note that the device in question is not necessarily included on the map. The default display color is yellow.
	Not operational—when there is an error on the element, for example if a server cannot connect to a microphone or speaker. The default display color is orange.
	Alarms—when an element has an alarm attached to it. The default display color is red.
	Disabled/status unknown—when an element has been disabled on the surveillance server, or when it is not possible to obtain status information from a server. The default color is purple.
	Ignore status—when an element has a status that does not need attention, for example, if you are already aware of what the issue is. The default color is blue.

The status of a map mirrors the status of all elements on the map. Up to four names of affected servers can be listed in the map title bar. In cases where an unavailable server causes disabled elements on the map, but the server itself is not included on the map, the map is displayed in the not operational state, even though the map only contains disabled elements. If the unavailable server is included on the map, the map is simply displayed with the disabled/status unknown. Status information is also available in the Map Overview.
