### Navigation trees The WebCTRL® interface has 4 navigation trees. Geographic tree This tree lets you navigate through the WebCTRL® interface using the system's geographic layout. Network tree This tree lets you navigate through the WebCTRL® interface using the system's network layout. Schedule Groups tree On this tree, you can create groups that can consist of areas, equipment, or other groups. You can then assign a schedule to the entire group instead of the individual items. See To apply a schedule to a group of items. System Configuration tree Most of the items on this tree are used for the setup and maintenance of your system.
My Settings | Lets you change settings that are specific to you such as your password, viewing preferences and contact information. See To change My Settings.

Select Scale to Fit again to return the graphic to its original size. On a mobile device Apple® iPad and iPhone Double-tap to zoom in/out. Microsoft® SurfaceTM Pinch-zoom works on individual frames, instead of the whole screen. So, you can zoom and scroll the navigation pane and action pane separately. If browser text is too small, use Ctrl + to increase Internet Explorer's zoom level, then reload the page. GoogleTM NexusTM and Nexus Lumia Pinch-zoom to zoom in/out.
### Using right-click menus On a computer You can right-click the following items to select options:
A tree item | The action pane
--- | ---
A property | A trend
On a mobile device To access the right-click menu for: A tree item–Select the item first, then touch and hold the item for several seconds. The action pane–Touch and hold the item for several seconds. NOTE For iPhones and iPads, touch and hold your finger on the item to bring up the right-click menu, then drag your finger to the menu option that you want without lifting your finger.
### To print the action pane On a computer Click at the top of the page to print the contents of the action pane. Set the print orientation to Landscape in the Print dialog box. TIP To print a Graphics page that exceeds the size of the action pane, right-click the graphic and select Scale to Fit. On a mobile device Touch and then select Print.
### Colors and status in the WebCTRL® interface The following colors indicate equipment status on floor plans, equipment property pages, and some reports.
Color | Color Name | Status Code | Condition Indicated
--- | --- | --- | ---
| Mustard | none | In equipment when running WebCTRL Design Server
| Purple | 0 or 15 | In a controller—non-operational or no communications In equipment—a hardware or software error
| Charcoal | 14 | In a controller—a download is required or is already in progress In equipment—a controller has stopped
| Coral | 13 | Control program error NOTE If a zone controlled by a U line controller shows coral on a floorplan, the controller may be offline.
| Red | 2 or 9 | Heating or cooling alarm
| Orange | 8 | Maximum cooling
| Dark blue | 3 | Maximum heating
| Yellow | 7 | Moderate cooling

### Colors and setpoints Thermographic colors indicate how much a zone’s actual temperature differs from its setpoints. Five conditions may affect a zone’s thermographic color: Setpoint adjust Timed local override (TLO) Optimal start Demand level Hysteresis In the examples below, a zone’s heating occupied setpoint is 70° and its cooling occupied setpoint is 74°.
If you normally see... | when the zone temp is... | but... | then you will see...
green | 72.5° | someone adjusts the setpoints (for example, with a setpoint adjust of two degrees, the new setpoints would be 68 and 72°) | yellow
gray | 73° (unoccupied) | someone presses the Override button on a zone sensor to use the occupied setpoints | green
gray | 77° (unoccupied) | the zone is in optimal start and is ramping up to its occupied setpoint in the few hours before occupancy | an occupied color
yellow | 75° | the zone’s electric meter is in demand level 2 with relaxed setpoints of 68 and 76° | green
green | 73.5° | cooling began when the temperature rose above 74° and the temperature has not yet dropped beyond the 1° hysteresis (to 73°) | yellow
