Advanced Search & Reporting	You can search for any object on your Metasys site, bulk command and bulk modify points, and schedule reports.
System Activity	You can view and manage all audits that are forwarded from an engine to a Metasys server directly in Metasys UI with System Activity. The feature helps you understand changes that have occurred in the Metasys system over a period of time.
Administrative Tasks	You can access the following features in Administrative Tasks: User Management: Administrators can create and manage users and roles in the Metasys UI. Space Authorization: Administrators can define user authorization for spaces. Remote Notifications: You can configure the routing and filtering of event and audit messages directly in the Metasys UI for each ADS/ADX or engine, without installing software on client machines. Cyber Health Dashboard: Administrators get a centralized view of potential security-related issues or system issues which are detectable by an ADS/ADX, but which may not surface as part of general system alarms. Graphics Manager: Administrators can manage, create, and edit graphics. You can also import and export Custom Symbols. Trend Study Manager: Administrators can manage, create, and edit trend studies. Dashboards Manager: Administrators can manage and create custom dashboards. Fault Manager: Administrators can view, enable, and disable all fault rules in the Fault Manager. Administrators can also modify global attributes and download an archive of global attributes, exceptions, and activity logs, and they can import an archive to restore data from a previous archive. You require the Metasys Fault Detection license to access the Fault Manager. Settings: Administrators can enable the Alarm Monitor feature and the Usage Analytics service at site level. Administrators can also choose to force users to add annotations. Note: The administrative tasks listed here are not visible to Non-Administrator users, with the exception of Remote Notifications.
Help	You can access the following features in Help: Take a Tour: View a tour of the common tasks. You must have internet access to view the Take a Tour site. Help: Opens the Metasys UI Help in a separate tab. About: Lists Metasys UI Online software version and the Metasys OAS, ADS/ADX or ADS-Lite software version. As an Administrator, you also see available software updates. The About screen also shows the licensing status of your features. Color Preferences: Lists the read-only system color preferences. These colors are applied to point status and values throughout the Metasys UI. Terms and Conditions: Opens the Terms and Conditions.
User	You can see the user name of the user who is logged in here. Only the first three characters of the user name appear. The remaining characters are hidden to ensure that unauthorized users cannot gain access to the user name used to log into the system.
My Profile	You can manage your personal details, privileges and category access, preferred language, alarm setting, and the Usage Analytics service at user level in My Profile.
Log Out	Log out of the Metasys UI.
