Overview of ilevia Manager

The parts of ilevia Manager on one page: window, status indicators, Gateways, Components and User Interface tabs, and all the File, Project, Users, Tools, Server, Language and Mode menu items.

ilevia Manager is the program you use to prepare an Ilevia system project and upload it to the server. This page describes its parts: the window, the three work tabs, and the menus. The screenshots refer to ilevia Manager 7.5.2 with the interface in English.

The window

Title bar: project name, user and Manager version. An asterisk (*) before the name indicates unsaved changes.
Menu bar: File, Project, Users, Tools, Server, Language and Mode, described below.
Top-right indicators: the number of components and groups in the project, and the server connection status (Disconnected when Manager is not connected to any server).
Work tabs: Gateways, Components and User Interface.

The three tabs

Tab	Purpose
Gateways	The connections to the systems: protocol, addresses and communication parameters.
Components	The project objects (lights, shutters, sensors, scenarios, logic, etc.) and their parameters.
User Interface	The pages, menus and commands that each user sees in the ILEVIA Control app.

For the gateway and component concepts and for the common properties of all components, see Components and gateways.

Gateways

On the left is the list of project gateways (the + adds one); on the right are the properties of the selected gateway: Name, Protocol, Enabled and the protocol parameters.

Components

Three columns: the Components Library with all component types divided by category, My components with the project components organized in groups, and Component's properties with the parameters of the selected component. To add a component, drag it from the library into My components.

User Interface

At the top, choose the user and the language to work on; Settings opens the interface settings. The central area shows the interface levels: Primary menu, Secondary menu, Components and Sub components. On the right, the Components panel lists the components to be inserted and Structure shows the interface tree. The bottom bar contains undo and redo, add, edit, delete, cut, copy, paste and the buttons to move items.
