Gira Home-/FacilityServer

Create:
You can create a new project in the desired version via the "Project/Create/HS-FS" menu. This is a project template without any default settings. We recommend working with a self-created template project that contains your typical company standard configuration. If necessary, you can check it out, copy it and set it up with a new project name.

Inventory data import:
Using drag & drop or the "Projects/Import" menu, you can simply drag a .zip file created by the Expert into the "Projects Local" window. Only use export files from the Expert software. Self-packed .zip files can lead to problems.

Edit:
Double-click to automatically start the correct Expert in the required version. If this is not installed, you will receive a corresponding message. After installing a new Expert version, you must restart the PM so that this version is available.

Project update:
By right-clicking on the checked-out project, you can update the project files. This will update some files in the project and the PM will open the project in the new Expert version in future. A firmware update must then be carried out manually via the Expert. This procedure is not recommended by Gira and is carried out at your own risk. No problems are known to date.

Clean up:
A project originally exported by the Expert contains all templates, plugins and logics that were used in the project. As these are not required by the PM function "Expert Sync" (described in the next sub-item), this can also save a lot of storage space in the backups. The files are not deleted, but moved to a special directory in "<RepositoryPath01>\_ExpertenTools". Over time, this creates a central equipment archive that can be accessed at any time. However, this is not usually necessary.
You can find this function by right-clicking on the checked-out project.

Synchronize experts:
Expert installations can be synchronized between computers, which can be found in the main menu under "Expert". All templates, plugins and logic modules are synchronized with the folder "<RepositoryPath01>\_ExpertenSync".
The first synchronization (e.g. new computer or new expert version) may take a very long time. A sync is only possible with active repository functions. If new data is available in the Expert Sync function, the button changes color until a sync has been performed. This ensures that all computers have the same Expert configuration. This function can be used from Expert version 2.10. Older versions are ignored.

Central addresses & read flags:
You can use this function to automatically connect central addresses and set read flags. If you have checked out and selected an Expert project, you will find a corresponding button in the Project selection menu. This function is permanently in beta status and can be used at your own risk. It is recommended that you create a backup of the Expert or PM project before using it. You will find exact details on how to use this function when using the respective function.

QuadClient & online functions:
You can store and also start the QuadClient Windows client access data for internal and external access directly via the PM. You do not need to install any additional software. The download is automatic.
Once the data has been entered, it is available on every computer after check-out.
You can also use a button to open the HS debug page in a web browser. All buttons for this can be found in the "Project selection" menu. The internal and external address is automatically obtained from the Expert project. If you have set up the HS/FS as a DHCP client, please activate the fallback address in the Expert project and enter the current IP data for the PM functions there. The external address including port is obtained from the Expert project settings/project. For access via S1/ISE-RA, enter "localhost:8081" here.

Combined project type:
ETS projects can also be attached to this project type.
